Beckon Club for tennis clubs

Your tennis club: members, dues and training without the spreadsheet maze

A tennis club has adults, juniors, families and coaches, and each group pays differently. Beckon Club keeps the members, their dues and the training groups in one place, so that nobody has to hunt through three lists at the start of the month.

Members in groups that fit your club

Adults, juniors, families, students: you set up a plan for each group, with its own fee, and assign it to the member. When a child moves up to the next group, you switch the plan on a set day, and the billing splits the rest pro rata.

  • A family bundle with one paying main contract
  • A member record with contact, notes, documents and consents
  • Joining fee, trial period and notice period per plan

Dues, monthly or yearly

The fee runs monthly or yearly, depending on the plan. One run, started with a click, invoices every due payment and builds the SEPA direct-debit file for your online banking; whoever prefers to transfer or pay on site is booked into the same ledger. What comes back shows up as an open item on the member and, if you have switched dunning on, follows the reminder path.

  • Reminder levels with deadlines, fees and an instalment plan
  • Invoices and receipts as PDF, an export for your accountant
  • Open items and the collection rate at a glance

Training groups and single lessons

Mini tennis on Tuesday, juniors on Thursday, adults on Saturday: you set up each group as a class, with a coach, a weekday, a time and a group size. A full group takes a waiting list. A single lesson with a coach is an appointment in the same calendar.

  • The plan decides which groups a member may book
  • Cancellation cut-off, waiting list and a no-show rule
  • A cancelled session, because of rain for example, in one step for everyone signed up, with a notification list

Board, treasurer and coaches work in it too

The board, the treasurer, the office and the coaches each get their own login with roles and rights, down to individual areas. Coaches see their groups, the treasurer sees the dues, and who changed what and when is on the record. Several sites run under one login.

  • Coaches, part-timers and freelancers with their own login
  • Rota and working hours for coaches and part-timers
  • A record of who changed what, and when

Member area and check-in

Your members sign in with a link sent by email, in the browser and on their phone. There they see their membership, payment standing and visits, book training groups, request new bank details (the club confirms the mandate) and request a freeze. At the clubhouse, check-in at the front desk or at the terminal confirms that the membership is valid.

  • New members join online, with a signature and a bank mandate
  • A membership card with a QR code on the phone
  • Every member sees only their own data

Winning new members

Whoever signs up for a trial session becomes a contact with a source, a status and a task. You see how many trial sessions end in a membership, send bulk emails to selected groups, such as the parents of your juniors, and offer referrals and promotion codes.

  • Tasks with due dates instead of sticky notes
  • Vouchers and promotion codes with a run time
  • Cancellation reasons and a list of inactive members

FAQ

Short answers

Can Beckon Club book the courts?

No. Beckon Club manages members, dues, training groups and single lessons with a coach. Booking playing times on the courts is not part of the product. If you use a tool of your own for that today, it can keep running next to Beckon Club.

What about junior plans, a season fee and moving up by age?

You set up the plans yourself, adults, juniors and family for example, and assign them to the members. A season fee of its own and an automatic scale by age are not built in: when a member moves to the next group, you switch the plan by hand, on a set day.

What does it cost at 320 members?

€57.00 a month, excl. VAT. The first 250 members cost 20 cents each, the next 70 cost 10 cents each. With every band the rate per member goes down. The calculator on the home page shows the price for your member count.

Can I move over from my member list?

Yes. With the import assistant you bring over members, contracts, bank mandates and dues balances yourself, from CSV files, with a preview and an undo; it is included in the price. Tell us what form your data is in, and we will tell you what comes along and what does not.
