# Padel Court Booking System: Fill Every Padel Court, Every Ninety Minutes > Padel court booking system for clubs and racquet centres. Ninety-minute blocks, per-court pricing, standing bookings, coaching and club nights on one calendar. Canonical: https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/padel Padel court booking for clubs and racquet centres. Ninety-minute blocks, four players to a court, coaching and club nights on the same calendar as public hire. **Always grandfathered in** ## Sound Familiar? Padel demand arrives in fours and in evenings, and it arrives faster than most clubs can schedule it. Courts sit empty at eleven on a Tuesday while the 7pm block has a waiting list, and the person holding it together is answering WhatsApp messages about who still needs a fourth. ## Built for Padel Courts Features designed specifically for managing padel bookings and maximizing facility revenue. ### Ninety-Minute Blocks Padel is not booked by the hour. Set the slot length the court actually runs at, so the grid stops producing thirty-minute gaps nobody can sell. ### Court-By-Court Availability Each court is its own bookable space with its own hours and pricing. Indoor and outdoor courts can run different timetables. ### Guest or Account Booking Visitors can book as guests or sign in first, and pay by card at booking at the rate set against the court. ### Standing Bookings The regular Thursday four get a recurring series rather than a booking a week, released in one action when the block ends. ### Coaching On The Same Grid Coaches hold court time from the same calendar as public hire, so a lesson and a casual booking cannot land on the same court. ### Club Nights and Americanos Block several courts for an event, and release them together when it is over. ## Why Padel Facilities Choose Us - Sell the daytime hours that never get asked about - Members book from their phone instead of messaging the club - Coaching and public hire stop colliding on the same court - Standing groups keep their slot without weekly admin - One flat price however many courts you build ## Scheduling padel when demand outruns the courts Padel clubs are usually new, usually short of courts, and almost always oversubscribed in the evening. The scheduling problem is less about filling the grid than about allocating a scarce asset fairly while still selling the hours nobody asks for. ### The slot length is the whole design Padel is played in ninety-minute blocks by four people, and a club that imposes hourly slots on it creates a half-hour of dead time between every booking. Over a twelve-hour day on four courts that is a meaningful amount of court time lost to a setting. Setting the slot length against the court rather than the club also lets an indoor court run a different pattern from an outdoor one, which matters as soon as the weather does. - Ninety-minute blocks set per court, not per club - Indoor and outdoor courts on separate timetables - No orphaned half-hours between bookings ### Evening scarcity, daytime surplus Nearly every padel club has the same shape of demand: the 6pm to 9pm block is full weeks ahead, and the middle of the day is empty. The evening does not need help being sold. The daytime does, and it only sells if somebody can see it is available without asking. A public booking page is what converts that. The daytime hour that gets booked is almost never the one someone phoned about — it is the one a member saw was free while looking for something else. - Live availability visible without an account - Card payment at booking, so a daytime slot is sold rather than held - Standing bookings for the groups that already have a slot ### Coaching, club nights and the shared grid A padel club is rarely only selling court hire. Coaches want blocks, the club runs Americanos and club nights, and both compete with public bookings for the same four courts. When those live in different places, the collision is discovered by whoever arrives second. Keeping coaching and events on the same calendar as public hire means the grid always shows the truth, and the hours left over are genuinely sellable. ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about padel booking software ### Can we set ninety-minute slots instead of hourly ones? Yes. Slot length is set against the court, so padel courts can run ninety-minute blocks while other spaces in the same club stay hourly. ### Can members and visitors pay different rates? Not yet. The rate is set against the court and booking length, and everyone booking that court pays it. You can charge different rates on different courts, or send regular members a Stripe invoice instead of charging at booking. ### How do standing groups work? As a recurring series. The regular four keep their slot for the whole block, and the series can be released in one action when it ends. ### Can we block courts for a club night or an Americano? Yes. Several courts can be held for an event and released together when it finishes, so the grid is accurate while it runs. ### Do we pay more as we add courts? No. Courts are unlimited on the flat $79/mo plan, so going from two courts to six does not change the bill. ### Can coaches manage their own court time? Coaching blocks sit on the same calendar as public hire, so a lesson holds the court and a casual booking cannot be taken underneath it. ### Will you raise my price? No. We will not raise prices on customers who sign up at the current $79/mo Pro rate — even if our public pricing increases later. ### Will you retire my plan? No. We do not retire old plans. Your plan tier stays valid; we never force you onto a new tier to keep the same features at a higher price. ### What does grandfathered mean? You keep your signup rate and plan tier forever. Sign up at $79/mo Pro today and that is what you pay — always grandfathered in. ## Software - [Sports Facility Booking Software](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/software/sports-facility-booking-software) ## Solutions - [Golf Bays & Ranges](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/golf-simulators) - [Football Pitches](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/football-pitches) - [Baseball](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/baseball) - [Soccer](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/soccer) - [Basketball](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/basketball) - [Tennis](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions/tennis) - [View all solutions →](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/solutions) ## Guides for padel courts - [Padel vs Pickleball: Court, Rules, Cost and Which to Add](https://sportsbookingmanagement.com/blog/padel-vs-pickleball): Padel and pickleball are both doubles-friendly paddle sports, but the courts, rules and build costs are very different.
