Booking Rules

All members can book courts on-line using https://sltsc.mycourts.co.uk.

The booking system allows tennis, squash, racketball, padel and gym session bookings.

All members are registered so that their membership cards can be used to "check in" using the swipe reader on the monitors in reception and at the back of indoor courts 1 and 2 Members are sent an e-mail on joining, which gives details of how to use the system, their sign on, password and PIN number.

Cards should be registered on the reception monitor on the first time of use.

Thereafter members can choose either to use their card to "check in" or use their PIN number

Guest Fees

When playing non-members/guests, members must select either "Guest Fee £10" or "Junior Guest Fee £2.50" as their playing partners/opponents to show on the Booking Sheets.
The system will automatically charge the guest fees to your booking system account.
If you're no longer playing a Guest, you can change your playing partner/opponent to a member, and the Guest Fees will be removed.
This can be done when you book the court or any time before playing, but not after your reserved start time.
Although you do not need to have sufficient credit to add guest fees to your booking, you will need to top-up your booking system account in order to cover the cost of any outstanding Guest Fees prior to booking more courts.
