Booking the court

SportyHQ has a payment system that enables bookings, and payments (for guests and casual players) via credit card, Snapscan, Zapper etc. This payment system only works via a web browser and not on the app!

Long-term (Lifetime or Annual) members playing with other long-term members do not need to pay as it’s part of the monthly/annual subscription fees.

If you are a Casual Player (R80 per hour) or a member playing with a guest (R40), you will need to load “credit” to your account. This process is initiated automatically when you book via a browser. After you’ve loaded credit, you can make a reservation.

You can do this for just one session or you can stock up on credit, which will automatically be deducted each time you play. This is preferable as you can then book directly from the phone app without having to make a payment each time.

On the SportyHQ app

  1. “Create new booking”
  2. Choose “Kommetjie Tennis Court”
  3. Choose date and time
  4. Choose if you’re playing with another member or guest.
    If the player is a member, their name should appear automatically.
  1. Choose the reservation length

On a browser

  1. Go to Kommetjie Tennis Club – Profile Page
  2. On the left select “Bookings”
  3. Check the checkbox/s for the timeslot/s you want to reserve
  4. Select a Reservation Type, Booking Length and specify who you’ll be playing with
  5. Click Reserve
  6. If a payment is necessary, please follow the necessary steps (see above) to load credit and to pay for the booking.

 The gate lock code is shown in the booking confirmation email. For security reasons, the code will be changed regularly.

Rules & Policies

Subject to change in the interest of fairness. Please remember that the tennis courts are on school property and therefore need to be treated with the appropriate care and respect.

By being honest with your contributions and court usage, you will help to build an amazing little tennis community in Kommetjie.
