Tennis coaches: match lesson slots to court time

How tennis coaches can match lesson slots to court time with online booking: one service per court, private and group lessons, weather and court bookings.

5 min read

A tennis lesson needs two things at the same time: you and a court. If students can book any hour, you end up with lessons when no court is free. With Book, you open lesson slots only in the court time you've secured, with one service per court or club, so every booking comes with a court.

Services per court or club

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.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
Private lesson – Club Court 31 h1€45
Semi-private lesson (2 players)1 h2€28
Group lesson – 4 players1 h 304€20
Junior lesson45 min1€30
Match play session1 h 304€18

Durations, places and prices are examples. Say in the description whether court fees are included or paid separately.

Slots only in your court time

You create every slot. When the club gives you courts on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, open lesson slots only then. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, which fits a seasonal court booking.

More than one court

If you have two courts at the same time, slots of different services can overlap: open one service per court, or one group service with more places. If you coach at two clubs, create services per club with the address in the description.

Regular students

Weekly students want the same court and time. Book their lessons yourself from your bookings list for the season, and don't open those slots publicly. First and last name are enough; with their email, students get a confirmation with a calendar file for each lesson.

Weather and indoor courts

Say in the description what happens if it rains on outdoor courts: move indoors, shorten, or rebook. If you move a lesson, do it from your list and tell the student yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

What to ask in the note

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 level, how long they've played and what they want to work on. For juniors, a parent books in their own name with the child's first name and age.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't book courts with the club, take payments or sell lesson packs, or send reminders. Students can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: in an academy, create services per coach. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
