As we prepare for Summer, we’re pleased to announce the latest updates to Court hire using the National Play Tennis website (play.tennis.com.au), ClubSpark Events and Open Court Sessions. These include:

 

1. National Play Tennis Website:

Improved search on Play.Tennis.com.au

1. We’ve made some changes behind the scenes that make it even easier for people to find a court near them when they’re searching on the National Play Tennis website. See the online user guide Get Set Up on Play.Tennis.com.au if you’d like to double check that your courts are set up to appear on the National Play Tennis Website for a great summer of tennis.

Addition of a new “Quick Book” feature to allow players to filter court search results & quickly book!

1. We’ve added a Quick Book filter button to the search results page of the National Play Tennis Website.
2. Players can toggle this button on or off. It gives them the choice view to all clubs/courts, or toggle to only show courts they can book ‘quickly’. Meaning they don’t need to go to a different website to book.
   All venues that use ClubSpark for court hire will automatically appear and be able to book quickly.

 

2. Events – set up and admin:

• There’s now more options plus longer durations to choose from when you’re setting up different Event sessions.
• Plus, you can now see the name of each event listed on the Event admin summary page, making Event set up and admin a bit easier. Previously all events were listed as ‘Standard’.
• We’ve also made some improvements to how Event data appears in Stripe – the event name and date are now passed from ClubSpark to Stripe, making it easier to distinguish payments for different events

3. Open Court Sessions – now appear on your public Club Website.

• Any Open Court Sessions programs you set up will now appear on the Programs page of your ClubSpark club website!
• Previously these appeared on the Play.Tennis.com.au national website only
• This means you can now promote Open Court Sessions via your club website, plus more players closer to you (or who use your website) can now more easily find and book directly into your Open Court Sessions programs.

 

4. Minor bug fixes & performances improvements 🚀

• The functionalities in your club’s membership module should now be faster than ever!
