Create your sports center app
Sports center app: your members book a court or a class from their phone
Tuesday, 5:40 p.m.: a member opens the app, sees two courts still free at 7 p.m. and books one. The confirmation lands in their inbox, and the front desk finds the booking in the Bookings tab.
Your sports center, multi-sport hall or tennis, padel, squash or badminton club gets an iPhone and Android app of its own, no code needed: logged-in members book a court or a class, and tournaments and closures reach them by notification. Booking takes no payment, so it suits clubs run on annual dues or paid at the front desk.

Tuesday night
The logged-in member sees what's left at 7 p.m. and books. Member and club both get the confirmation email. Plans change? The link in that email cancels the booking, and the court is back in the app for another player.
See Appointment bookingThe weekend tournament
The tournament is in the calendar, announced by a notification. The club closes Saturday to bookings: that day's bookings are canceled and the members affected are told by email. For the morning only, an event in Google Calendar takes those slots out of the app.
See CMS AgendaThe tennis school
Wednesday's group lesson has its own section, with 8 seats. The app shows the seats left and refuses bookings once it's full. The coach's private lessons work the same way, with one seat per slot.

The front desk or a club volunteer handles them in the back office, with no developer.
Open the app to your members
Authentication creates the accounts: import your member list as a CSV, up to 10,000 at a time, then close open sign-up. A new member mid-season is added by hand. On each section, turn on "Only logged-in users can book".Set up your courts to suit your club
Courts that are all alike: one section, with 6 seats per slot for 6 courts. The member books a court, the front desk assigns the number, and the app shows what's left. Courts that differ, clay and indoor for example, or bookings taken by phone: one section per court, one seat per slot, each with its own Google Calendar, and the member picks the court. Either way, each section has its own length, an hour for tennis, 90 minutes for padel, its minimum notice, and the number of days ahead when bookings open.Keep the club going
Tournaments in the calendar, results and news as articles, an automatic notification with each new item, access and parking on the map. User groups keep a section for the competition team or the tennis school's parents.
Your app, a court booking platform or custom development?
Booking platforms collect payment for every game, and that's their strength. This table shows what each option brings to a club.
| Your GoodBarber app | A booking platform | Custom development | |
|---|---|---|---|
| An app in the club's name on both stores | Yes, iPhone and Android | Depends on the tool and plan | Yes, to be built |
| Courts and classes booked by logged-in members | Yes, with a set number of seats per slot | Yes, it's their core business | Yes, to be built |
| Payment at booking | No: dues or front desk | Yes, it's their core business | Yes, to be built |
| Club life: articles, tournaments, notifications | Yes, in the same app | Depends on the tool | Yes, to be built |
| Price | Flat plan, hosting and updates included | Subscription or commission, depending on the tool | A quote, then maintenance |
What your members find in the app
Court booking
A section for each court or type of court, with the open slots and what's left at each time.
Classes and camps
The tennis school, the holiday camp: each class has its number of seats, and the app shows how many remain.
The tournament calendar
Tournaments and club nights in the calendar, ready to add to the phone's own calendar.
Results and news
Results, maintenance work, the annual meeting: articles, with an automatic notification on publication.
A partner at their level
Each player states their level on their profile, finds a partner among the club's members and gets in touch.
Access and opening hours
The club on the map, directions, parking and opening hours.
The front desk
One tap to call the front desk or write to it.
What AI does for the club
Three uses: a score counter for your players, a tournament posted by your assistant, club rules translated for members from abroad.
To build
A score counter
Describe it to the AI Extension Builder: a screen that keeps the score of a padel or tennis match, games, sets and tie-break included. It takes its place in the app's menu, and players use it on court, with no account to create.
Free
To operate
The tournament posted by your assistant
“Add Saturday's tournament to the calendar and send the notification.” Your app's MCP lets Claude or ChatGPT set up the event and show you the notification; you confirm, and it's done.
Included
To write
The club rules for members from abroad
In the back office, the AI Assistant translates the club rules and court instructions, and you reread them before publishing.
Extension Store
The extensions a court club uses. Appointment booking, Authentication, User groups and Community are options on Premium and included in Pro. At no extra cost: CMS sections, automatic push, MCP and the AI Extension Builder.
How much does a sports center app cost?
Premium publishes your club's app on both stores; Appointment booking and Authentication are added to it. Pro includes them, along with User groups and everything your members need to find each other, and gives your whole team access to the back office, however many people that is.
| Premium · iPhone and Android apps, web app | $55 /month, billed annually |
| Appointment booking, with Premium | $15 /month |
| Authentication, with Premium | $12 /month |
| Pro · booking and member accounts included | $105 /month, billed annually |
The Apple and Google developer accounts are paid directly to them.

Sports center app: your questions
Which app builder for a sports center or a court club?
GoodBarber is a no-code app builder: a sports center app, a tennis club app, a padel club app, or a court booking app for squash, badminton or five-a-side, under the club's own name, for iPhone and Android. Logged-in members book a court or a class there, and follow tournaments, closures and club news. Create your club's app.
One section per court, or a single section?
If your courts are all alike, one section, whose seats per slot match your number of courts: the member books a court and the front desk assigns the number. If they differ, clay and indoor for example, or if you take bookings by phone, create one section per court, with one seat per slot and its own Google Calendar: the member picks the court. Both setups can live in the same app, tennis on one side, padel on the other.
Can members pay when they book?
No: Appointment booking takes no payment. It suits clubs where access comes with annual dues, or where people pay at the front desk. If your center collects payment for every booking, keep your booking software: a section of the app opens it, and the app handles everything else: tournaments, news and notifications.
How do you limit booking to your members?
With Authentication: import your member list as a CSV, up to 10,000 at a time, close open sign-up and turn on "Only logged-in users can book" on each section. A visitor who isn't logged in is asked to log in. You decide which sections stay public, such as opening hours, directions or the tournament calendar.
A member calls the front desk to book: what happens?
The back office doesn't add bookings: it lists and cancels them. With one section per court and the "Hide slots when Google Calendar is busy" option, the front desk adds the time to that court's Google Calendar and the slot leaves the app; this block sends no email and doesn't show in the Bookings tab. In a section with several seats, a Google event would close every court at that time, so the front desk books in the app instead, and one account can't book the same slot twice. If the section is open to everyone, the front desk types the member's email, and the member gets the confirmation.
How do you close courts for a tournament or repairs?
For a whole day, an exceptional closure on the sections concerned: that day's bookings are canceled and the members affected get an email. For part of a day, an event in the section's Google Calendar takes the slots it covers out of the app; bookings already made stay, and you cancel them from the Bookings tab if needed. A notification tells everyone else.
Can a club offer classes and camps?
Yes: one section per class, from 1 to 500 seats per slot. The seats still free show in the app, booking stops once it's full, and you see who's coming in the Bookings tab. The booking form, shared by all sections, can ask for a level or an age.
Can a player find a partner at their level?
Yes: each player states their level on their profile, finds a partner among the club's members and gets in touch. It all stays between members of the club, and it's included in Pro or an option on Premium.
Does the app handle waiting lists or access to the courts?
No: no waiting list, no badge, no gate, no control of the lights. When a slot is full, the member picks another one, and a cancellation puts the seat back on offer.
How much does a sports center app cost?
Premium plus Appointment booking and Authentication, or Pro on its own, which includes both. The amounts above appear in your currency, and every plan is detailed on the pricing page.
With GoodBarber, your members book their court and follow club life in one app
