How to grow your payments app with tennis and padel clubs
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Tennis and padel clubs sell court time by the hour, yearly or monthly memberships, coaching sessions, junior camps and social events. Padel has grown fast in many countries, and new clubs are opening in warehouses, leisure centres and sports grounds. Many smaller clubs are run by volunteer committees who still chase membership fees by email. A payments app that sells court time and coaching by link, collects memberships in monthly payments and takes tap to pay at the bar can win these clubs, and every player who pays sees your app.
Talk to club managers and committees
Ask local tennis and padel club managers:
- How do players pay for courts and coaching today?
- How do members pay their yearly fee?
- How are junior camps and social events paid for?
- What do you pay in card and booking fees?
Sell courts and coaching by link
A link for each court slot, lesson or camp means players pay when they book, and no-shows no longer cost the club money.
Make memberships easy
Monthly payments for membership fees make joining easier for players and give the club steadier money through the year.
Grow through local sport
Club managers know coaches, sports clubs and gyms. One club on your app can introduce the others.
