The lesson lifecycle and statuses
Every lesson moves through the same four states — from scheduled to completed or canceled.
Updated June 4, 2026
A lesson always carries a status that tells everyone — parent, coach, and gym — where it stands. Knowing the four states makes the rest of Handspring easy to follow.
The four statuses#
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
Scheduled | A coach has booked the lesson; it's waiting for the parent to confirm. |
Confirmed | The parent confirmed and a card is held. The lesson is locked in. |
Completed | The session happened and the coach closed it out. Payment is captured. |
Canceled | The parent or coach canceled before it happened. Any hold is released, minus a cancellation fee if one applies. |
How a lesson moves#
Most lessons go Scheduled → Confirmed → Completed. A coach can also reschedule or transfer a lesson along the way, and either side can cancel before it happens. The money side tracks these states closely — see How payments work.
Coaches who auto-approve existing students may skip the wait — a lesson can arrive already
