Coaches
A schedule is the recurring time slot. A plan is what you're teaching on one specific day. Curricula are the long-term framework that ties them together.
Three concepts, three layers. Easy to confuse them, so:
A class schedule is a recurring time slot: "Wednesday 6:00–7:00 PM, Adult BJJ Gi, capacity 25." It repeats every week. Owners and coaches create schedules under Gym → Schedule. Athletes RSVP to schedules.
A schedule does not know what you're teaching — only when and who's coming.
A class session plan is the lesson for one specific occurrence of a schedule. "Wed Feb 5, 6:00 PM BJJ → warm-up shrimps, drill side-control escapes, sparring rounds, cool-down."
Each plan ties to exactly one (schedule, date) pair. Coaches see and edit tonight's plan from /dashboard/coach/tonight → the specific class → Tonight's plan card.
A curriculum schedule is your gym's teaching framework — "Week 1: side control escapes. Week 2: guard retention. Week 3: knee shield." It maps day-of-week (or specific class slots) to drill/flow content.
Owners build curricula at Coach → Curriculum. You then assign a curriculum to a class schedule in the schedule editor, and the coach can one-click materialize a draft lesson plan from it. See Curriculum on a schedule.

Schedules are reusable forever. Plans are one-and-done. Curriculum is the institutional memory that makes plans easier to write.
