Your Courts. Your Club. Under Control.

Why a booming racquet-sports market is forcing clubs to rethink how they run — and the software built to run it all for less

Racquet sports are having a moment — a long one. U.S. tennis participation hit a record 25.7 million players in 2024, the sport’s fifth straight year of growth and a 46% jump since 2019 (USTA / Physical Activity Council). Pickleball is growing even faster: 19.8 million players in 2024, up 45.8% in a single year and 311% over three years, making it America’s fastest-growing sport four years running (SFIA). Padel is riding the same wave into U.S. cities.

For clubs, that boom is a blessing with a catch. More players means more bookings, more members, more dues, more lessons, more tournaments — and more admin than a front desk running on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and five different logins can handle.

That’s the problem RunMyCourts.com was built to solve.

Everything a club runs on, in one place

RunMyCourts puts the whole operation behind a single login:

• Court booking and waitlists — members book from the web; when a slot fills, the waitlist takes over and the next player in line gets the court automatically when someone cancels. Staff can book for members at the front desk.
• Payments, dues, and a member ledger — members pay by card, and dues, bookings, and charges show up on one ledger per member.
• Waivers, check-in, and automatic emails — waivers signed online, members checked in on arrival, and booking confirmations, dues receipts, and waiver reminders sent on their own.
• Lessons, programs, and tournaments — coaching, clinics, open play, and club tournaments share one calendar with court time.
• The rest of the front desk — pro shop, food and drink, events, staff scheduling, marketing, and a public club page.

And it’s built for the way racquet sports actually work now: tennis, pickleball, and padel side by side, where a court with two sets of lines can switch between sports.

The money goes to your club — all of it

Most software quietly taxes a club’s growth. RunMyCourts doesn’t touch the money at all. As the team puts it:

“Members pay the club’s own Stripe account directly. We never hold your money and add no transaction fee.”

Payments land in the club’s own Stripe account. The platform adds zero transaction fees on top (Stripe’s standard card processing fee still applies, as it does everywhere). For a club moving tens of thousands of dollars a month in dues and bookings, money that used to leak away stays in the club — courts resurfaced, lights upgraded, coaches paid.

The price: free to start, and it’s not close

Here’s where the comparison gets uncomfortable for the incumbents. RunMyCourts pricing:

• Free — $0/mo. Claimed listing, court booking and waitlist, staff booking for members. No time limit.
• Payments & Dues — $59/mo. Everything in Free, plus card payments with no platform fee, dues and member ledger, waivers and check-in, automatic member emails.
• All-in — $199/mo. Everything, including lessons, programs and tournaments, pro shop, events, staff scheduling, marketing, and webhooks.

Unlimited courts, members, and locations on every plan — including Free. All-in is free to try for 30 days, no card needed. And the first 25 clubs to sign up get All-in for $99/mo for their entire first year as founding clubs.

Now compare the established option, CourtReserve (public pricing, October 2026):

	RunMyCourts	CourtReserve
Starting price	$0/mo (Free)	$199/mo (Launch)
Court limits	Unlimited on every plan	8 courts on Launch; 16 and 32 on higher tiers
Top tier	$199/mo (All-in)	$549/mo (Momentum)
Transaction fees	None — payments go straight to your Stripe	Integrated payments
Add-on fees	Features included in the plan	$25/mo each for extras like DUPR, USTA Connect, access control
Branded app	Public club page included	$499 setup fee + 1-year contract, top tier only

Read that table again. CourtReserve’s entry price for an 8-court club — $199/mo — is what RunMyCourts charges for everything, unlimited. A club on CourtReserve’s top tier pays $549/mo, nearly triple RunMyCourts All-in, before the $25-a-month add-ons start stacking up.

The discovery bonus: get found while you get organized

RunMyCourts comes from the team behind TennisMatch.io, the court-discovery platform where players search, map, and compare tennis, pickleball, and padel facilities by court count, surface, and availability. Clubs claim their listing on RunMyCourts — which means the same system that runs your bookings is plugged into where new players are looking for somewhere to play. Run the club better, and get discovered doing it.

Who should switch?

• Small clubs and HOAs paying for software they barely use — start free, unlimited courts, upgrade only when you need payments and dues.
• Growing multi-sport facilities juggling tennis, pickleball, and padel calendars across disconnected tools.
• Academies and program-heavy clubs that need lessons, clinics, and tournaments on the same calendar as court time.
• Any club tired of per-court caps and add-on fees deciding what they’re allowed to use.

The players are already coming — 25.7 million tennis players, 19.8 million pickleball players, and counting. The only question is whether your club’s systems can keep up, and what you’re paying for the privilege.

Start free at RunMyCourts.com — free takes a few minutes, and founding-club spots at $99/mo won’t last.
