Booking system for sports clubs & pitch hire.

A sports club booking system built for volunteer-run football, cricket, rugby, tennis and bowls clubs — hire out your own pitches, courts and clubhouse, invoice your leagues, and run your memberships, all in one place.

Pitch & court booking online.

Let players and visiting teams book straight from your club's calendar — no phone calls, no double bookings. A pitch booking system for your football pitch, a tennis court booking system for your courts, plus your cricket square, nets and bowls green, all in one place. Members pay on the spot and get themselves in.

  • A football pitch booking system: full pitch or split into 5-a-sides
  • A tennis court booking system with pay-and-play and member slots
  • Cricket square & nets, bowls green — each on its own calendar
  • Card payment on the spot, then a one-time key code to let them in

Clubhouse & function room hire.

Your clubhouse and bar earn their keep between fixtures. Hire the function room out for birthday parties, wakes, christenings and committee meetings — LemonBooking takes the booking, the deposit and the balance, and keeps it off the calendar when there's a match on.

  • Take parties, wakes, christenings and meeting-room bookings online
  • Hold a deposit and collect the balance before the day
  • Add a bar tab, hall furniture or a cleaning charge as extras
  • Members get their own discounted clubhouse rate automatically

Invoicing for block bookings.

A 30-week junior league. A regular Tuesday-night training slot. The visiting Sunday side that takes the pitch every fortnight. Set the pattern once and LemonBooking generates the season's calendar and invoices the whole series automatically — skip bank holidays and fixture postponements as you go.

Recurring season bookings

Weekly, fortnightly, every Tuesday August–April, term-time only — the patterns clubs and leagues actually use, with one-off skip dates for postponed fixtures and bank holidays.

Whole-series invoicing

Invoice the whole run in one go, or slice it into monthly instalments. Each league or regular hirer gets a profile page with sessions booked, emails sent and what's still outstanding.

Memberships & classes.

Run your club's memberships in the same place you take bookings. Set up different membership types and assign them to members, record membership payments, chase late payers, and advertise new membership deals. Members get their own member rate on the booking form — and you can run classes like junior coaching with online sign-ups.

  • Annual, lifetime, day-pass and family membership types
  • Record payments, see who's paid, and chase late payers automatically
  • Members get their own member rate on the booking form
  • Run classes like junior coaching with online sign-ups and a register

Sell tickets for club events.

Presentation night. The summer fundraiser. Finals day at the bar. Sell tickets online in the same platform you use for pitch hire and memberships — with QR-coded tickets and door check-in on a phone or tablet, so you're not chasing cash on the night.

  • Presentation nights, fundraisers, race nights and finals day
  • QR-coded tickets, scanned at the door on a phone or tablet
  • Member, adult and junior ticket tiers — and capacity limits

Frequently asked questions

Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.

Can members get a different rate from non-members?

Yes — set a member rate and a non-member rate for any pitch, court or clubhouse. When a member logs in to book they only see their member price, and non-members see the standard price. Junior, senior and affiliated-club rates work the same way.

Is there a free trial for our sports club?

Yes — LemonBooking is free to try for 30 days with no card required, so you can run it as a free online booking system for sports clubs while you decide. We help with the initial setup so your pitches, courts and clubhouse are ready to book from day one.

How do recurring league and training bookings work?

Set the pattern once — every Tuesday 19:30, term-time only, the whole season — and LemonBooking generates the calendar entries and the invoices for the entire run. Skip dates for bank holidays or fixture postponements are supported, and you can invoice the whole series in one go.

Can we take card payments and deposits?

Yes — take card payments and deposits online when a pitch, court or the clubhouse is booked. Members and casual players pay on the spot, deposits are held against higher-value bookings, and your cancellation and refund rules are enforced automatically.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — LemonBooking works in any web browser, so members and players book from any phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install. Club volunteers and committee members can approve bookings, chase memberships and check the diary on the move.
