Tennis Club Events
Tennis clubs run a wide variety of events beyond league matches: open tournaments, coaching sessions, social tennis evenings, junior camps, and fundraising events. Online ticketing helps manage all of these efficiently.
Events to Ticket
- Open tournaments and club championships
- Junior and adult coaching camps
- Social tennis evenings and mixers
- Cardio tennis and fitness sessions
- Annual dinner and awards
- Open days for prospective members
Tips
For coaching events and camps, include session times, coach credentials, and what participants need to bring. Use free tickets for open days to track registrations without charging. Consider family bundles for junior events — parents are more likely to sign up multiple children if there is a discount.
Tennis Club Events
Tennis clubs host a wide range of events beyond regular match play: open days, tournaments, social tennis sessions, coaching courses, and club championships. Each can benefit from online ticketing to manage registrations, capture data, and project a professional image.
Event Types
- Club tournaments: Member-only competitions with category entries (singles, doubles, mixed, age groups). Registration through Tickts simplifies entry management.
- Open tournaments: Events open to players from any club. LTA-sanctioned events may have specific registration requirements that you can communicate through your event page.
- Coaching courses: Multi-week coaching blocks for juniors and adults. Payment plans on Tickts make higher-priced coaching blocks more accessible.
- Open days: Free events to attract new members. Registration through free tickets helps manage court allocation and provides contact details for follow-up.
- Social events: BBQs, quiz nights, and social tennis evenings. Ticketed to manage catering numbers and revenue.
Growing Club Membership Through Events
Events are your best recruitment tool. Every open day attendee, tournament player, and social evening guest is a potential new member. Capture their details through Tickts, follow up with membership information, and offer trial memberships to convert event attendees into regular members.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Tickts for court booking?
Tickts is designed for event ticketing rather than court booking. For regular court hire and booking management, dedicated tennis club software is better suited. Use Tickts for events, tournaments, and coaching courses — the things that bring new people to your club.
How do I manage entries for an LTA-sanctioned tournament?
Use Tickts for payment and initial registration. Include your LTA tournament code and any eligibility requirements on the event page. Players register and pay through Tickts, and you manage the draw and LTA reporting separately.
Making Tennis Events Profitable
Tennis clubs have multiple revenue opportunities through events. The key is matching the event type to your club capacity and audience:
Junior coaching courses are consistently profitable — parents pay £60-120 for a 6-week block, and with 8-12 children per group across multiple age groups, a summer coaching programme can generate significant revenue while developing future members.
Open days convert visitors into members. Offer free taster sessions, tours of the facilities, and discounted trial memberships. Track conversion rates — a good open day converts 15-25% of attendees into members, each worth hundreds of pounds in annual subscriptions.
Social tennis events bridge the gap between competitive play and social activity. Mixed doubles evenings, parent-child tournaments, and charity events attract different demographics than standard club competitions. Price these affordably to maximise attendance and community goodwill.
Tournament hosting can attract entries from across your county and beyond. A well-organised tournament with good facilities, efficient scheduling, and fair officiating builds your club reputation. Successful tournaments attract repeat entries year after year, creating a sustainable annual event in your calendar.
