Clinics and holiday camps unlock court hours that sit empty on weekday mornings—great for revenue and for building a player pipeline at your club. Running them through Smash events keeps everything organised without extra paperwork.
Create an Event, Not a Block Booking
Rather than stacking individual reservations, create a clinic or camp as a Smash event in the Club Dashboard. Set the date, capacity, and description so players and parents know exactly what to expect. Once published, nearby players receive a push notification and your club's existing contact list gets an automatic email.
Block the Courts First
Before publishing, use block-offs to reserve the courts for the full duration of the clinic. This prevents accidental individual bookings during the same time slot and avoids the awkward conversation when a regular shows up expecting their usual court.
Set Clear Pricing and Collect Online
Assign a price to the event so payments are collected upfront via Smash's online payment system. Pre-paid spots reduce last-minute cancellations and mean your staff aren't chasing cash on the day.
Promote with an AI-Generated Poster
Use the Club Dashboard's AI poster tool to create a polished promotional image for your clinic or camp. Share it on social channels or display it on-site to drive sign-ups before capacity fills.
Half-day clinics and school-holiday camps work for both adult players and juniors—publish them a few weeks out to give enough lead time to fill every spot.
