Your tennis courts are a valuable asset for members and players, but a lot of clubs struggle to utilise all of their courts all of the time. With the right court access and ClubSpark, your club could start to promote empty court time to generate income from pay and play bookings.

Opening up your courts to the wider community brings other benefits such as: 

• Increased visibility of your club
• Instant list of warm leads who may be interested in other playing opportunities
• An easy pathway into membership
• Increased utilisation of the facility, which in turn generates new revenue streams
• Positioning of your club as a friendly, accessible community hub

Once Rally is set up on your account, it will provide a helpful customer journey for your users see below: 

1. Visit  https://lta-rally.org.uk/
2.  Search for a court nearby
3. Select the court, date and time
4. Receive your Gate Access code (if you have Gated Access setup)
5. Access the courts
6. Enjoy Tennis!

 ClubSpark will collect all of this booking information, so you can see the effect it's having on your venue:

Once a player has booked via Rally, they will automatically be assigned the ‘RALLY COURT BOOKER’ tag in the contacts module.
