Sports instructors: book sports birthday parties

Sports parties are a great earner on weekend afternoons, but each enquiry starts with the same questions: which dates are free, how many children, what's included. With Book, parents see your free party slots on your own booking page, book the date in one go, and give you the details in the note.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Say what the price covers and how many children it includes.

Give party slots one place: one parent books, and the slot leaves your page. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so open Saturday and Sunday afternoon slots for the season in a few minutes. Slots of different services can overlap, so if you open several party types at the same time, close the others once one is booked.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for:

Ask parents to tell you about allergies or health needs directly rather than in the note, which appears in their calendar file.

Say what's included: activities, equipment, medals, a room for food. Say what parents bring, such as cake and drinks, and the timings for arrival, games and food.

A short call a week before helps. Offer it as a free service, or call the parent yourself using the phone number from the booking.

Parents can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the party from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Book doesn't take payments or deposits, manage invitations or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with several instructors, create party services per instructor. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
