01
Padel court management and booking
A padel booking system members use from their phone: they book, move and cancel their own courts under your rules, and a court can never be booked twice. The office sees every court, lesson and club night on one calendar.
- Quarter-hour bookings.Members choose the start and the length, up to the longest booking the club sets, 90 minutes to start with.
- Guests in the foursome.A member adds up to three adult guests and three junior guests, and sees the fee before they confirm.
- Your rules, applied as they book.How far ahead, how long, how many a week, peak times, and which memberships may book padel. One set of rules covers every sport at the club.
- Club nights and closures.Regular social nights repeat each week. Close a court for resurfacing or an event and see the bookings it affects.
02
Memberships that include padel
Choose which memberships include padel and which may book only off-peak. Every member and family is in one place, from the day they apply to the day they renew, and members see their own bookings and invoices on their phone.
- Padel in the right memberships.Each membership type says which sports it includes, so padel can be left out of a social membership and included in a full one.
- Off-peak memberships.A type marked off-peak only can’t book online at the peak times you set, and the member is told why.
- Limits for each type.A membership type can set its own number of online bookings a week.
- Yearly or monthly.Members can pay monthly, and renewals are raised in one go or automatically before a membership ends.
03
Visitors, hire and the shop at the desk
Walk-ins are sold padel court time at the bar or reception till, and it goes straight onto the calendar as a booking. The till gives members their price and visitors theirs, and keeps track of rackets out and back.
- A court sold at the till is a real booking.It is made in the same moment as the sale, so the court is never sold twice.
- Member and visitor prices.Each court product has a visitor price and, if you want one, a members’ price. A discount can apply on set days and times.
- Rackets out and back.Hire goes to a named person and is marked returned. Once every racket is out, the till refuses the next hire.
- Guest fees and the bar.Guest fees owing on today’s bookings are paid at the till, on the same sale as the bar or the shop, or charged to the member’s account.
04
Coaching, clinics and intro sessions
Padel lessons, clinics, junior programmes and beginner nights on one timetable that members book, parents enrol from and visitors see on your website. Each session holds its court, full sessions keep a waitlist, and the coach takes the roll on a phone.
- Courts held for every session.Members can’t book over a lesson, and clashes are caught before a class is saved.
- Intro sessions for visitors.Offer a first session free. A visitor asks for a place from your website, confirms by email and pays at the club.
- Waitlists that offer the place.When a place comes up, the next person is offered it until a set time, then the next.
- Terms and the roll.Parents enrol a child for the term, and the coach takes the roll on a phone, with a child’s age and any medical note.
ON ITS WAY
Private lessons can’t go on the timetable yet. Book the coach’s court on the calendar.
05
Know when the courts are busy
A padel club lives on how full its courts are. The court use reports show court-hours booked by sport, by day and by hour, so the committee can see the quiet times before it sets peak hours or runs a clinic.
- A heat map for each sport.Day of the week by hour, with the share of court-hours booked.
- How full each court is.Booked hours as a share of opening hours.
- The court board on the clubhouse TV.Padel has its own board, with free times marked AVAILABLE.
- Ask in plain words.The AI Report Assistant answers questions about the figures and shows the figures it used.
06
Events and parties on the courts
Corporate afternoons, parties and club nights that use your function room and the courts are run as functions: the enquiry, the quote, the deposit and the function sheet, with the courts closed for the time and the staff on the roster.
- Enquiry to deposit.A hirer asks for a date, receives a quote, accepts it, and the deposit confirms the function.
- Courts closed for the event.Tick the padel courts the function needs and they close on the booking calendar for its times.
- A slot on the roster.A confirmed function puts an open slot for its staff on the weekly roster.
- The bar tab on the invoice.What the function buys at the till is added to its invoice.
Padel beside tennis, squash or pickleball?
Each sport has its own courts, opening hours and tab on the calendar and the court board, and each membership says which sports it includes.

QUESTIONS
Common questions
from padel clubs
Is it only padel booking software?
No. Court booking is one part. The same padel club management system runs memberships and renewals, coaching and intro sessions, the bar and shop till, racket hire, functions, staff rosters and the club’s finance, with one member list.
Can members book padel courts from their phone?
Yes. Sports Club OS is a web page at the club’s own address, so there is no padel court booking app to download. Members book, move and cancel their own courts under the club’s rules, in quarter-hours up to the longest booking the club allows.
Can we run padel alongside tennis and squash?
Yes. Padel is added as a sport with its own courts, opening hours and tab on the calendar and the court board, and each membership says which sports it includes. How far ahead members can book, the longest booking and the peak times are one set of rules for the whole club.
Can we charge different prices at peak and off-peak, or split the court fee between the four players?
Not yet. A member’s booking is covered by their membership, and the only fee on it is the guest fee, paid at the club. Court time sold to visitors at the till has a visitor price, a members’ price and discounts for set days and times. Prices set by time for online booking, and splitting a fee between players, are not built.
Can visitors book and pay for a court online?
Not yet. Online booking is for members with a current membership, and online card payments are being built. Visitors book at the desk or the bar till, and can ask for a place in a class from your website.
Can members find a fourth player or join open matches?
Not yet. A member books the court and says how many guests are coming. There is no player matching, open match or padel player level.
Does it run Americano nights and padel leagues?
Padel leagues, yes. Competitions run ladders, box leagues, round robins and knockouts in padel, scored on a phone by the FIP rules with the Star Point, and the court’s TV follows. Golden point and Padel Australia’s shorter formats are options the club switches on. Americano and Mexicano nights are not built yet: a weekly social night goes on the calendar as a club booking, and the club can email members about it.
Is there a free padel scorer?
Yes. The free match scorer scores padel on any phone in the browser, with no account, by the Star Point or golden point, and lets others watch with a code. Try the free match scorer.
Does it control court lights or gates?
Not yet. Doors, lights and swipe cards are not built.
What does it cost?
Every plan has every feature, priced by the number of members, from A$215 a month + GST for up to 300 members. See the plans.
