Sports club management

Software that adapts to your club, not the other way around.

Bookings, point of sale, memberships, classes and access control in one system. It works from day one with your rules, your prices and your hours — whether you run courts, a pool, a gym or all three.

How it works

An ordinary Tuesday, running on Palestra.

The easiest way to explain the system is to watch a day go by at a club like yours — from the first booking to closing time.

07:45 · Bookings

The first booking happened last night.

Your members check what's free and book from the app in seconds — a court, a pool lane, a gym slot. The system applies your rules exactly: prices by time and day, booking windows, member types, recurring slots, lights.

  • Real-time availability on web and app
  • Pricing by time slot, day and court type
  • Recurring bookings and waiting lists
  • Booking windows and member permissions

10:30 · Members and access

Fees bill themselves, doors open on their own.

Membership plans with recurring billing, family plans and seasonal fees. Access is sorted too: PIN and QR at the door and the turnstile, and when a booking starts, the court lights come on by themselves.

  • Recurring fees, tiers and family plans
  • Passes, class vouchers and gift cards
  • PIN and QR access for doors and turnstiles
  • Payment gateway in your name

13:30 · Point of sale

The coffee, the rental and the balls, one ticket.

A full POS for the bar, the shop and equipment rental. Visual catalogue, member prices, several payment methods in one sale — and it all lands in the same accounts as bookings and fees. Your hardware works too: receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer.

  • Bar, shop and equipment rental
  • Member prices and discounts
  • Several payment methods per sale
  • Receipt printer, scanner and cash drawer

17:30 · Classes and activities

School hour: full pool, zero spreadsheets.

Swim school, padel academy, aqua fitness, spinning — groups, coaches, capacity and attendance in one place. Families sign up online, waiting lists manage themselves, and the fees bill with everything else.

  • Groups, levels, coaches and schedules
  • Online sign-ups with capacity control
  • Attendance and waiting lists
  • Fees and class passes billed automatically

The lights are off, the register is counted, tomorrow's receipts are queued. Nobody stayed late for it.

If it doesn't exist, we build it

Does your club do something no software covers?

Every club has its own way of working, and there's almost always something a standard system won't fit. With Palestra that doesn't leave you out: whatever your club needs that doesn't exist yet is up and running in days, not months. Without paying for custom development.

FAQ

The questions we hear most.

If yours isn't here, drop us a line and a real person replies.

Does it really adapt to how my club works?
Yes. Booking rules, pricing by time slot and day, court types, fees, access and billing flows all fit your club. It's not swapping the logo and the colours: it's the system working the way you do.
Is my data — and are my members — mine?
Yes. Your members sign up at your club, under your brand. You own all the data and can export it whenever you want. No middlemen between you and your customers.
Which kinds of centre is it for?
Any sports or leisure centre: racket clubs, gyms, pools and swim schools, multi-sport centres, and centres with a spa or wellness area. Bookings, access, fees and activities are set up for each case.
Can I migrate from another system?
Yes. We help you import your members, their history and the data from your current system.
Is there an app for my members?
Yes. An app for iOS and Android where your members check availability, book and pay in seconds.
