Multi-sport centres

One centre, several sports, one piece of software

A multi-sport centre brings several sports together under one roof; SportFinder is the software that runs them all from the same back office — calendar, payments, access control and statistics included. Each sport keeps its own rules. You keep a single tool.

The scope

A single calendar for all your courts

A single calendar for every court and pitch in your centre, whatever sport is played on it.

PadelTennisSquashPickleballBadmintonTable tennis5-a-side footballBubble football

Five sports have their own page: padel, tennis, squash, pickleball and 5-a-side football.

The SportFinder back-office calendar: a week of bookings, every court in a centre brought together on a single screen
In practice, at our clients

The same club, one rule per sport

The configuration engine does not stop at the centre: price, maximum duration, quota, player format, refunds — every setting can be filtered on one sport, several, or none. Here is what that looks like at real clubs:

  • Royal Baudouin Tennis Padel Club: 60 minutes maximum per booking for tennis, 120 minutes for padel — same club, same booking screen. The quota of simultaneous bookings also differs by sport and by time band.
  • Tennis Padel Club Plainchamp: the 2- or 4-player format is required for tennis only; padel stays free-format, on the same thirteen courts.
  • Centre sportif communal de Floreffe: two players by default for tennis, four for padel — one setting, two behaviours.
  • RETC Jumet Tennis Padel: split payment is switched on for tennis only.
The Adeps case

A cap for the whole centre, or for a single sport

  • Centre Adeps La Mosane: padel and tennis, four courts, a cap of seven simultaneous bookings that applies to the whole centre, whatever the sport — useful to stop a single sport monopolising the schedule.
  • TC Domaine: the same principle on a smaller scale — a cap of five simultaneous bookings, with no sport filter.
  • Centre sportif du Bertransart: the other way round, the same quota mechanism applies to tennis only, and only to members — the club’s four other sports are not subject to it.
  • Bjorn’s Club: a daily quota for tennis only, too.

The checkbox is the same everywhere: you decide whether a cap protects the whole centre or a single sport.

The slot engine

The engine does not count time the same way

Every free slot gets a score that says how worthwhile it is to offer it rather than leave it empty. That score does not follow the same scale for every sport: the engine knows the natural unit of time of each one.

Padel

The engine favours 90-minute slots or multiples of them; 60- or 120-minute cuts only come out as a last resort, when there is no longer time to sell something better.

Other sports

The engine opens all the usual cuts for the sport from the start — 60, 90, 120, 150 or 180 minutes — because they already match its natural rhythm.

In practice: on the same three-hour free gap, the engine opens more non-padel cuts as early as a week ahead, because the non-padel scale reaches a high score sooner. Padel, for its part, stays more demanding for longer: its scale only fully rewards slots in multiples of ninety minutes, while other sports already reach their best score from sixty minutes. This strategy can also be set differently for each sport, including on shared courts.

You can watch this engine run live, slot by slot, on our padel club management software page.

Access control

One gate code per sport, if needed

Useful, for example, when padel is in a hall separate from the outdoor tennis courts: each sport gets its own access code, without you having to run two systems or duplicate your settings.

A consolidated view

Your revenue, sport by sport

  • The Statistics module can be filtered by sport and by court, without changing screen or export.
  • Revenue earned, number of sales and average price are read as a whole, then broken down by sport to see where the trend really comes from.
  • Same logic on the schedule side: the calendar can be filtered by sport, and a court that hosts several sports stays visible as long as one of its sports matches the active filter.

See the Statistics module in detail.

Multi-sport centres

The same engine, at very real centres

These are not demo scenarios: they are settings running today, at client clubs.

Centre Adeps La Mosane

Padel and tennis, four courts: a booking cap that protects the whole centre, across all sports.

Centre sportif du Bertransart

Five sports on sixteen courts — badminton, padel, pickleball, table tennis, tennis — each with its own exceptions.

Royal Baudouin Tennis Padel Club

A different maximum duration per sport, and per time band, at the same club.

Tennis Padel Club Plainchamp

Player format required for tennis only; padel stays free-format.

RETC Jumet Tennis Padel

Split payment switched on for tennis, not for padel.

Centre sportif communal de Floreffe

Two players by default for tennis, four for padel — on the same screens.

Bjorn's Club

Free refunds cut to six hours for tennis only.

TC Domaine

A cap on simultaneous bookings set for the whole centre, in the same spirit as Adeps.

Tennis & Padel club Morlanwelz

Pay-on-site restricted to a single slot — the club bar.

The right question

Not one piece of software per sport — one that knows them all

One piece of software per sport means one schedule per sport, one customer file per sport, one password per sport — and a manager who spends their time making several tools agree instead of filling their courts. Consolidating into a single back office does not change what each sport earns; it changes the time you have left to go after it.

The precise figures are worked out on the demo, on your real configuration — your sports, your courts, your rules. Our prices are already published.

And our model does not change with the sport: we only earn when your courts fill up, whatever the sport. Read our mission.

Frequently asked questions

One piece of software, several sports

Which sports do you support?

Racket sports — padel, tennis, squash, pickleball, badminton, table tennis — and 5-a-side football / bubble football. We do not handle swimming pools, or gyms and their group classes: that is not our business, and it is better to tell you before than after.

Can I have different price or duration rules depending on the sport?

Yes. Price, maximum duration, quota, player format, refunds: every setting can be filtered on one sport, several, or none — in which case it applies to the whole centre. It is the same engine that serves a single-sport club; multi-sport is just one way of using it.

Is the calendar separate for each sport?

No, there is only one: every court, every sport, a single page. A sport filter lets you show just one sport on screen; a court that hosts several stays visible as long as one of its sports matches the active filter.

Can I set a booking cap that applies to the whole centre, not just one sport?

Yes, that is exactly the setting used at Centre Adeps La Mosane: a cap on simultaneous bookings that applies to the whole centre, across all sports. The same checkbox lets you, conversely, target a single sport.

Can I see my revenue separately for each sport?

Yes. The Statistics module can be filtered by sport and by court, without changing screen or export — you read your overall figure, then break it down by sport.

Do you manage staff who work across several sports?

Yes. Roles and permissions common to the whole centre decide who sees and does what, whatever the sport. And your coaches have their place in the academy module: their availability, their lessons and a calendar per coach, in the same back office as your courts.
