For tennis & squash centres
Booking software for tennis & squash centres — courts fill themselves, no gaps.
Members sign up and out themselves, classes have a clear seat count, and the waitlist fills every gap. For one-on-one sessions and court rental, add a court, hall or reformer as a resource — two bookings on the same court can't happen. You run the training — not the messages.

Appointa for tennis & squash centres — in practice
A tennis centre juggles two schedules at once: coaches and courts. A lesson is no use if the court is taken, and a free court is no help without a coach. The season depends on the weather, and kids' school, groups and private lessons share the same courts. Appointa offers a lesson only when coach and court are both free, and you cancel a rained-out day in one go.
Coach and court together
A private lesson needs a free coach and a free court at once. Appointa offers only those times and assigns the court itself; the player sees which one in the confirmation and reminder, e.g. “Court 3”. An internal name like “Court 3, by the fence” stays with your team.
Rain closes the outdoor courts
It's been pouring since morning and the courts are under water? With bulk cancellation you pick the day or a date range, enter a reason and cancel every booking at once. Players are notified straight away through whatever channel they have, and you don't phone twenty people one by one.
Court under maintenance
The clay court needs levelling and watering? Block that court for the day and hours of the work, with a reason. Meanwhile Appointa puts new bookings only on the other courts, and you move existing ones on the blocked court yourself — Appointa won't cancel them without you.
Group sessions with seat counts
Yoga for 20, small group for 6 — every session has a capacity and a live 4/20 indicator. Sign-ups close themselves when full.
Members sign up themselves
The schedule lives online; joining and leaving a class takes two clicks, with no midnight messages. New sessions show up instantly.
The waitlist fills the gaps
If someone drops out an hour before, the next person on the list gets notified and takes the spot. A full class stays full.

The questions that come up first
How far ahead can players book?
As far as you decide. In the booking rules you set the booking window, say 14 days, so the best slots aren't snapped up for the whole month, and the minimum notice before start, say two hours. You also set how late players may cancel on their own. You and your coaches can enter bookings outside those rules.
How do I see how busy all the courts are at once?
In the day calendar switch the view from coaches to resources, and every court gets its own column in its own colour. You can drag a booking to another court, and Appointa won't allow it if that court is taken at the time. Maintenance blocks show up as a grey bar with the reason.
Can I attract new players with a discount at the start of the season?
On the Premium plan you create a promotion with a promo code, for example a discount each player can use once, with validity dates and a cap on total uses. Share the code on social media; the player enters it when booking and sees the discount immediately. A promotion applies to all services with a visible price, so pick a discount that pays off on every one.
How do members see the schedule?
On your page appointa.hr/s/your-studio — nothing to install. Joining a session takes two clicks, leaving too.
What happens when a class is full?
Sign-ups close automatically, and anyone interested joins the waitlist. If a spot frees up, the next person gets notified.
Can I cap the seats per session?
Yes — every session has its own capacity (say 12 for yoga, 6 for small group). You see it at a glance as 4/12.
