The challenges facing squash and badminton clubs
The court hires by the half hour
Four courts, sixteen slots an hour at peak. What you need is not a diary but an occupancy plan, and it does not hold in a notebook.
The member wants their fixed Thursday slot
It is the most predictable income in the club, and the easiest to lose: one casual player booking over it is enough.
Lunchtime and evening overflow, the afternoon sleeps
The same courts, empty four hours a day. An open page and an off-peak rate fill what the counter does not sell.
Rackets and shuttles hire with the court
They are add-ons, they have a price, and offered at booking they sell. Offered at reception, they get lent.
A player who does not come blocks a court
Half an hour of peak time lost is the most expensive slot of the day. The reminder and the cancellation notice cost less than the hole.

Practical guide: Squash and badminton clubs
- Each court is a resource, with its hours. The same slot never sells twice, however many people are at reception.
- Members' slots set on recurrence for the season, in one operation. Nobody books over them again.
- An off-peak rate on the afternoon windows, visible online. It is the only way to sell them.
- Racket hire and tubes of shuttles as add-ons, with their price, at booking.
- A reminder two hours before on peak slots: that is where an absence costs most.
- A short but real cancellation notice. Half an hour freed in time resells; freed on the hour, it does not.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a squash or badminton court cost in the UK?
Around £8 to £16 for forty minutes of squash and £10 to £20 an hour for badminton, with member and off-peak rates lower. Set your own prices.
Do you need a medical certificate to play at a UK club?
No. Unlike France, there is no requirement for a medical certificate to join a sports club or play recreationally in the United Kingdom — clubs ask for a health declaration at most, and it is a matter of insurance and good practice rather than law. What clubs do need is elsewhere: public liability insurance, a first aid provision appropriate to the venue, a defibrillator increasingly expected in racket sports, and safeguarding arrangements with enhanced DBS checks if juniors are coached. England Squash and Badminton England affiliation brings insurance and safeguarding frameworks and is what most venues work to.
Can I manage several courts?
Yes, each declared as a resource.
Can I book a fixed annual slot for a member?
Yes, with recurring bookings.
Can I charge a different rate by time of day?
Yes, with an off-peak service or a promo code.

Yes, as add-ons with their price.
