Pickleball Open Play Management, on the Same Calendar as Your Courts
Publish Open Play sessions, take signups and payment, and keep those courts off the booking grid automatically — no separate signup sheet to reconcile.
What Open Play looks like on HomeCourt
Sessions by skill level
Label each session by level so beginners and advanced players find the right one.
Player caps
Set how many players a session takes. When it's full, it's full — no over-subscribed court.
Member and non-member prices
Each session carries both prices, and a member gets theirs automatically when they sign in.
Courts held automatically
The court a session runs on comes off the public booking grid for those hours, so nobody books over it.
Reclub-friendly
Already run signups on Reclub, Sports360 or PickleQ? Publish the session with your external signup link instead.
Court queue & TV display
For drop-in nights, players join a walk-in queue by QR and watch the lobby TV for their court.
Why Open Play needs to live with your bookings
Open Play is often the busiest — and messiest — part of a pickleball club's week. Signups happen in a group chat, payment in another, and the court itself sits in a spreadsheet where someone can still book it privately. HomeCourt puts the session on the same calendar as private bookings, so the court is held the moment the session is published.
Players see upcoming sessions on your club's own site, sign up, and pay the same way they pay for a court. Staff see who's coming, who's paid and who's still sending a screenshot.
Fill quiet hours
Open Play is one of the easiest ways to sell off-peak court time: one court, eight to twelve players, a per-head fee. Because every session blocks its court automatically, you can schedule them aggressively in slow hours without risking a clash with a private booking.
Frequently asked questions
Does an Open Play session block the court from private bookings?
Yes. A session holds its court for its hours, so the booking grid shows it as unavailable to everyone else.
Can players pay for Open Play online?
Yes — the same ways they pay for a court: GCash, Maya or bank transfer with a screenshot.
We already use Reclub for signups. Can we keep it?
Yes. Publish the session with your external signup link and HomeCourt still holds the court and shows the session on your site.
