Several sports, one schedule
Padel, tennis, squash, badminton, pickleball, football: each one has its own durations, rates and rules — and all of them live in the same back office, on the same calendar, with one team running them.
Each sport keeps its own rules
A padel court, a squash court and a five-a-side pitch do not book the same way, do not last the same time and do not fill at the same hours. The configuration goes down to the sport, so you are not forced into one set of defaults.
- Duration, calendar step and booking window per sport, on the courts concerned.
- Expected number of players per surface — two for squash, four for padel, ten on a pitch.
- Rates, quotas and membership plans that do not spill from one sport into another.
- One surface can carry several sports — a badminton court that is also a pickleball court stays one line in your schedule.
The honest scope: racket sports — padel, tennis, squash, pickleball, badminton, table tennis — plus football and bubble football. No swimming pool, no gym, no group fitness classes.
The same front desk, different hands
In a multi-sport centre the same person takes a padel booking, refunds a squash court and answers a question about the football league. That is a permissions problem long before it is a training problem.
- Custom roles: what each account can see and do is yours to define.
- A seasonal hire and a manager do not get the same back office — refunds, rate changes and statistics can stay out of reach.
- What this is not: staff scheduling or a coach diary. SportFinder governs access to the system, not your rotas.
Which sport earns at which hour
The question every multi-sport centre argues about — should Wednesday afternoon be padel or badminton — has an answer in your own data. It is just usually locked in a spreadsheet nobody updates.
- Occupancy and revenue break down by sport, so a sport that looks busy and one that actually pays stop being confused.
- A court-by-hour heatmap shows the holes as holes, rather than as a feeling.
- Period comparisons tell you whether the new sport is growing or borrowing players from the old one.
A centre that opens without anyone
The bigger the centre, the more hours it stands empty because nobody is there to open it. Access control ties the door to the booking rather than to your rota.
- QR-code access, up to 24 courts driven from one device.
- Lighting tied to bookings, with real sunset calculation and daylight-saving handling.
- Doors, heating and parking driven remotely.
- Offline at the door: on standalone hardware, codes validate without a connection.
A hall where every court is busy earns
The interesting sum is not what the software costs — that one is published. It is what your emptiest hours are worth once the right sport can book them, and what a centre that opens itself is worth on a Sunday morning. Both get done on the demo, on your own occupancy. See the pricing.
Multi-sport: what centres ask us most
Which sports does SportFinder actually cover?
Racket sports — padel, tennis, squash, pickleball, badminton, table tennis — plus football and bubble football. That is the honest list. There is no swimming pool module, no gym membership and no group fitness class: if those are the core of your centre, we are not the right tool, and you should know that before the demo rather than after.
Can each sport have its own rules in the same centre?
Yes, and that is the point. Duration, calendar step, booking window, expected number of players, rates, quotas and membership plans are all set per sport, on the courts concerned — one centre, one schedule, and settings that do not fight each other.
One court, several sports — is that possible?
Yes. A surface can carry more than one sport, so a court used for badminton and pickleball is one court in your schedule, not two competing entries. What the software does not manage is the line marking itself.
How do I stop my front-desk staff seeing everything?
Through roles and permissions. You define what each account can see and do — take a booking, refund, change a rate, open the statistics — so a seasonal front-desk hire and a manager do not get the same back office. There is no staff scheduling or coach diary in SportFinder; this is about access, not rotas.
Can I see which sport actually earns at which hour?
Yes: occupancy and revenue break down by sport and by hour, so the question "should Wednesday afternoon be padel or badminton" gets an answer from your own data rather than from the loudest member.
