WhatsApp message templates for sports academies
Sports academies run on six templates: four utility and two marketing. Utility handles enrolment, session schedules, fee reminders and match-day information; marketing covers trial camps and kit or merchandise offers.
Young athletes train on tight timetables and the parents are the ones paying. WhatsApp gives one channel for schedules, fees and match updates so nobody misses a session for lack of a message.

- Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
- Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
- Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
