Racquet club software that books the court and the lesson
It is 3 AM on a Sunday and you are scrolling next week's lessons stacked irregularly against courts blocked for league play. Two members fighting over Court 3 at 6 AM. The Tuesday 4.0 ladder roster needs a reshuffle. A doubles group asking if their padel slot moved. You bought this club to teach. You teach less than you did at your old job. The whiteboard at the front desk is a museum exhibit and the software you pay $700 a month for cannot do what a $9 calendar does on your phone. Appointible is the racquet club software built for a single-facility head pro who is also the owner, the court-booker, the league commissioner, and the IT department — one booking that holds a court, a pro, and a member at the same time, with free import / export and free onboarding assistance with Pro for cutover.
One booking. Court, pro, member. That is all it needs to do.
For a decade racquet clubs have been sold all-in-one club management software that was built for half the business — courts OR lessons — and bolted on the rest. That is why your tennis lessons still live in email. That is why padel court 5 double-books on a Saturday. That is why your front desk runs a shadow spreadsheet alongside the official system because nobody trusts the official one. Appointible holds your tennis, padel and squash courts, your pros' lesson book, your leagues and ladders, your members and guests on a single phone-first schedule. No more being the routing layer for every doubles change, every weather cancellation, every junior who needs to move to Tuesday. The club keeps running. You get to teach the 10 AM clinic without one eye on your inbox.
Court Booking
Hourly courts, booked the way members actually book them.
Court reservations members run from a phone
Your strongest singles players book at 5:42 AM the night before a 6 AM slot. Your Sunday padel pairs book a week out. Your squash regulars want the 45-minute 7 PM box at the same rate as last week. All of them want one grid — Court 1, Court 2, the indoor courts, the two padel courts, the squash boxes, the ball machine treated like a fifth court — in real time on a phone. Appointible's room booking and equipment booking give every court and the ball machine an hourly slot, a buffer, and a price; members book themselves and stop calling the desk. Members book their court from their phone without ever contacting you.
Ball-machine bookings as a fifth court
The ball machine is the cheapest court in the building and the easiest one to lose track of — somebody wheels it onto Court 6 at 2 PM and the 3 PM junior clinic arrives to find it dead in the middle of the baseline. Appointible's equipment booking treats the machine like any other resource on the equipment calendar: hourly slots, price types (from–to, fixed, varies), a buffer between bookings so the next adult walks onto a fresh court. The same calendar that holds tennis, padel and squash holds the machine. The front desk stops being the rental clerk.
Lessons and courts as one event, not two
The all-in-one was a lie. Lesson booking and court booking were never two separate problems — they are one event: a court, a pro, and a member at the same time. When your head pro moves the Friday 5 PM private to Saturday 9 AM, Appointible frees Court 4 automatically and the next member can grab it from the grid. No more lessons stuck in email while courts live in a separate platform. No more tedious lesson scheduling on a court-only system — booking the bimonthly junior lesson schedule stops being a tedious process. One booking. Pro keeps the lesson. Club keeps the court revenue.
Member Communication
Member SMS that handles the conversation before they call the desk.
Court reminders and a no-show policy with teeth
A 6 AM court that ghosts is a court you cannot resell at 5:30. Appointible's SMS reminders (Pro) text the member 24 hours and 2 hours before the slot with the court number, the price, and a one-tap cancel. Automatic no-show tracking flags the trend. Members can reply through the messages inbox to release the slot — no front-desk call. The reminder goes out without you in the loop, so you are not the one chasing the no-show at the gate.
Weather rescheduling for outdoor tennis and padel
Outdoor tennis in April, padel in November, anything in a thunderstorm — the call gets made at 6:15 AM and forty booked members need to know in the next ten minutes. Appointible's SMS campaigns (Pro) reach every booked member in one tap with the booking link for an indoor box or the next outdoor slot. Members tap to grab a new slot from the available services. You are not standing in the parking lot answering individual texts while the rain comes down — the bottleneck role is the role nobody bought you the right tool for.
Retention SMS that sounds like the pro, not a platform
The member who used to play every Tuesday and has not been on court in five weeks is the member you lose at renewal. Appointible's client segmentation surfaces him, and the messages inbox (Pro) lets you send a short personal SMS — 'Mike, Court 4 is open Thursday 7 PM if you want it' — from your rented branded phone number. Seasonal members who paused in October get a scheduled text before the indoor sign-up opens. The message sounds like the pro, not the platform.
Club Operations
Pros, peak hours, and pricing that match how the club actually runs.
Pro scheduling without the Sunday-night group text
Your four teaching pros, two assistants, and the visiting stringer all want different hours, different courts, different days off. Your senior pro has hinted twice in six months that the schedule is a mess — and the schedule is why he might leave, not the sport. Your pros are not leaving the sport; they are leaving the schedule. Appointible's team profiles, service-provider work schedule, and room booking hold each pro's hours and the courts they teach on. Members only see the slots that work for both pro and court. Top pro out for a tournament? Vacation tracking closes his calendar and the assistant's slots open up — no double-book on Court 4 at 5 PM Wednesday.
Peak and off-peak services that fill the dead hours
Prime time at a racquet club is roughly 6-9 AM and 5-9 PM weekdays — 30 hours a week per court that pay for the other 60. The rest of the grid is the leak you absorb in your own time. Appointible lets you publish peak and off-peak services with different prices (price types: from–to, fixed, varies). Members see the off-peak service at the lower rate on the booking page before they book. The 1 PM retiree doubles group fills the dead hours through a different service. The revenue line moves because the price finally matches the demand.
Member, junior, guest and walk-in services
Full members pay one hourly rate. Junior members pay another. Off-peak members get weekday daytime only. The guest a member brings on Saturday pays a third rate. Walk-ins pay rack rate. Today that rule lives in a binder behind the desk and in your head — and the front-desk staff get it wrong twice a week. Appointible holds each rate as its own service on the booking page, and custom client fields tag each member with their tier so the front desk sees it on her profile. The booking rules you had to remove because the old system could not bend come back online without the binder.
Leagues, Ladders & Mixers
Doubles, ladders and round-robins that fill themselves.
Leagues, ladders and round-robins as services on one page
The Tuesday-night men's 4.0 ladder, the Sunday padel mixer, the spring doubles league, the junior round-robin — every one used to be a separate group text, a separate spreadsheet, a separate reminder you sent at 10 PM. Appointible lists each league as a service members book from the same booking page they use for courts. When somebody drops Thursday night, you SMS the segment with the booking link to grab the open spot. Your front desk stops keeping the shadow spreadsheet alongside the official one — the booking system becomes the only system.
Doubles mixers and ladders, coordinated by SMS
Half this club's revenue is doubles — singles is the loud minority and doubles is the loaded grid. Each mixer and ladder lives as a service on the booking page with multiple service providers per appointment, so partners can be assigned by the pro. The pro publishes the draw the night before with a scheduled text message (Pro) so nobody texts you at 7 AM asking who they play. When somebody pulls out at 4 PM, you SMS the sub segment with the booking link — first reply takes the slot.
Junior programs, U12 to U14, on the team calendar
The bimonthly junior schedule — eight weeks of U10, U12 and U14 group lessons every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 6, plus the Saturday round-robin — is the most tedious thing you book all season. Appointible holds each week as a service with the right pros and courts assigned; service-provider work schedule lays down the eight Tuesdays and Thursdays in one pass. Custom client fields tag each junior with their age group so the spring SMS offers her the U14 schedule when she ages up. The roster lives on the team calendar. You stop running the spreadsheet that ran you.

Get started freeEverything a racquet club needs in one booking system.
Appointible is built for single-facility tennis, padel and squash clubs with 4-8 teaching pros and a head pro who would rather be on court than answering texts. The features below take the after-hours work off your phone.
SMS marketing for leagues, clinics and ladders.
Fill the Tuesday 4.0 ladder, the spring junior camp, the Sunday padel mixer with a single SMS to the members who play that level. A text lands in the pocket they actually check — faster than email, faster than the Facebook group, faster than asking the head pro to mention it during his 4 PM clinic. The right tool for this business lives where the work lives — on a phone.
Explore SMS Marketing SoftwareCourt utilization and revenue insights.
Which courts pay for themselves and which sit empty Tuesday at 1 PM? Which pro fills his lesson book and which has gaps every Friday? Appointible shows court-by-court utilization, peak vs. off-peak revenue, and lesson booking trends — so the dead hour you have been absorbing on your own time stops being a guess and starts being a number you can act on.
Explore Business Insights SoftwareAutomated court and lesson reminders.
Members forget a 6 AM court the same way they forget a dentist appointment. Appointible sends a 24-hour reminder and a 2-hour SMS reminder (Pro) with the court number, the price, and a one-tap cancel — so the slot opens back up long before the no-show happens at the gate. The hourly rate is protected.
Explore Appointment Reminders SoftwareMobile app for the pro and the front desk.
Your head pro manages his lesson book from court-side between privates. Your front-desk lead checks the day's bookings on the way in. The Appointible mobile app gives every staff member the schedule on their phone, with real-time updates when a member moves a court or a lesson. Built for the pro who runs 99% of their day on a phone — not a 2008 desktop application.
Explore Employee Scheduling AppPro and staff management.
Hold every pro's team profile, working hours, and court assignments in one place. Bookings per pro and per service surface in analytics — so you know which pros teach which programs and which lessons they ran this month, instead of guessing off four spreadsheets and a calculator that nobody trusts.
Explore Employee Management SoftwareMember profiles, tiers and ladder history.
Every member's appointment history, custom client fields for tier and renewal date, notes and labels for ladder results and guest visits in one profile. Client segmentation surfaces the member who has not been on court in a month before he ghosts the renewal. Run the racquet club on data, not on what you remember about Karen who has played here for nine years.
