Name the space people actually hire
Describe the hall or independently bookable court and the activities it supports, with practical details about the surface and facilities.
Sports hall and court booking software
A team practice and a casual game both need a clear start and finish time. Keep each independently bookable court or hall on its own schedule so players and reception can see which space is reserved.

From the first click to a confirmed booking
Choose the right booking
The organiser selects the hall or court and reviews suitable activities, included equipment and venue rules. Be specific about what is reserved exclusively.
Find a suitable time
They select a duration and available start time. Explain how changing, setting up equipment and clearing the space fit within the reserved period.
Review the booking details
The client reviews the selected service or space, date, time and price, then provides their contact details. Clear descriptions help them arrive knowing what they have booked and which location to visit.
Complete the booking and payment
When online payments are enabled, collect the deposit or full amount required by your booking settings. Your team can also handle payment from the calendar, including a payment link for a client who is arranging the visit with you.
Keep hall use visible to your team
Review booked spaces and times before opening. Use the diary to plan reception, access and any manual changes to the hall layout.
When a club wants another session, look up availability and arrange a separate reservation. Handle coaching attendance and participant registration through your usual process.

View feature: Manage more than one sports siteGive clients a convenient way to pay
Bring payment into the same workflow as the booking. Choose how you collect money for your services or space hire, and explain the payment arrangements before the client commits.
Deposits and online checkout
Let clients pay a deposit or the full booking amount through your online booking portal. State what the payment covers so clients understand the amount they are paying before their visit.
Card payments at reception
Use a supported Stripe Terminal smart reader to collect an in-person card payment for a booking. Reader availability depends on your country and Stripe setup; see the device guide before buying hardware.
QR codes, SMS and email links
Show a payment QR code for the client to scan, or send the payment link by SMS or email. The client opens checkout on their own device, making it useful both at reception and when arranging payment before arrival.
Set up a booking page that reflects your business
Start with the bookings you handle most often. A clear menu and realistic availability help clients make the right choice and give your team a consistent place to manage requests.
- Add genuinely independent spaces with clear activity descriptions.
- Set hourly rates and permitted booking durations.
- Explain equipment, access rules and layout coordination.
Review and share your booking page
Review the client-facing names, descriptions, location, available times and payment settings. Share the booking link from your website and customer communications, and keep the details up to date as your offering changes.
Space booking questions, answered
Can I give different courts different prices?
Yes. Each space has its own rate and duration rules. Set them to reflect the court or hall being hired, then the price follows the length of that reservation.
What if a whole-hall hire overlaps with individual courts?
Use separate spaces for areas that can be hired independently. A whole hall and the courts inside it share physical space, so your team must coordinate those arrangements rather than assume they are independent bookings.
Can I list a whole hall and its subdivisions independently?
Use independent listings only when they can be hired independently without conflict. Do not assume linked availability between a whole hall and overlapping sub-courts; coordinate such arrangements through your team.
Does this manage sports class attendance?
This page is about booking the space for a period of time. Class attendance, team rosters and participant capacity are separate operational needs.
Can customers book without calling reception?
Yes. Share your room booking page so customers can select a space, choose a duration within its limits and find an available start time. Write clear room descriptions and arrival information so customers know what the hire includes.
How can I collect payment for a room reservation?
Configure online booking payments to collect a deposit or full amount where offered. Staff can also collect booking payments through the calendar using payment links, a QR checkout page or a supported Stripe Terminal reader. State the hire conditions and what the payment includes before the customer books.
