Book a Court

Grow your club

Are you a club interested in opening up your facilities to the general public in a simple, modern and accessible way?  Book a Court is a fantastic solution for tennis clubs and tennis courts to become more accessible to the local community. It will also help diversify your club’s income stream that is simple and manageable.

We know that 19-44 year olds are the demographic that really want to play tennis, but currently don’t.  One of the reasons for them not playing is cost, as many think they have to be a member of the club in order to play.  We want them to know that this isn’t the case! 

Book a Court is a smart system that saves players and administrators time, meaning more time on court for everyone!
