Looking to improve the wider community\u2019s access to court hire and use, Kelmscott Tennis Club<\/strong> have installed Tennis Australia\u2019s<\/strong> Book-a-Court<\/strong> technology which boasts the benefits of online court bookings and keyless entry.<\/p>\n

The online court booking system, which provides online payment, keyless entry and around-the-clock court access via pin pad technology, is available to everyone who enjoys a hit of tennis. Court bookings are easily accessed via the club\u2019s website, where payment is taken in exchange for a unique booking pin provided for pin-pad use at the tennis club gate.<\/p>\n

The club will join more than twenty venues across metropolitan and regional Western Australia, who have already made the move to improve court hire accessibility to the wider community.<\/p>\n

The project was funded in part by the Tennis Australia National Court Rebate<\/strong> (NCR) scheme, in addition to a Federal Government<\/strong> grant made available through the Sport Aus Community Infrastructure Grant<\/strong> scheme which supports small to medium scale projects.<\/p>\n

The system, which has been active since the end of January, is available to both members and non-members, with a primary focus of encouraging greater accessibility and convenience to members of the local community.<\/p>\n

Kelmscott Tennis Club President Darryl Maxwell<\/strong> says the club identified the installation of Book-a-Court as an answer to improving the accessibility of court hire, whilst at the same time increasing revenue for the club.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was important to improve the courts access to the wider community whilst ensuring that there would be less demand on our committee members,\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Book-a-Court removes the burden of key access and increases our visibility on line and in Google searchers through the online booking system,\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s been well received by the existing club members and the wider community, and the club have been pleased with the results so far,\u2019 Maxwell said.<\/p>\n

Tennis West CEO<\/strong> Michael Roberts,<\/strong> says that Book-a-Court technology is continuing to prove itself as a welcomed game changer for clubs, by helping to remove the traditional barriers to court accessibility.<\/p>\n

\u2018Book-a-Court launched in 2017 and it continues to prove itself as a great tool in removing the barriers usually associated with court accessibility,\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe platform meets the needs of the modern day consumer and provides a convenient, easy, online platform to book and access their local courts. Club administrative burdens are reduced significantly and pleasingly, clubs continue to report on increase court hire revenue,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n
