Members of a private club book courts online, whether tennis, pickleball,
squash, basketball, soccer, football, or any other court or field, and they
see only the times their membership includes. You make a plan for each type of
member, hold hours back for those plans, and give each of your current members
their plan. You keep collecting dues the way you do today; taking payment
online is optional.

This guide covers the three screens: make the plans, hold hours back for
members, then add your current members. For why this works and what members
see, read
[Private Club Court Booking and Membership Software](/posts/private-club-court-booking-software).

## Create the membership plan

In the sidebar under **Operations**, open **Offers** and stay on the
**Memberships** tab.

1. Click **+ Add Tier** to open the **Create Membership Tier** panel.
2. Under **Plan Name**, type the name members will see, for example `Full
   Member` or `Junior`.
3. Tick **Hide from public page** if people join by invitation or from a
   waitlist. That keeps the plan off your booking page so you hand it out
   yourself. Leave it unticked only if you want people to join on their own.
4. Set **Membership length**. Pick **Lifetime (never expires)** when your own
   office handles renewals, so the plan stays on until you end it.
5. Under **Member Hours Allocation**, give members the court hours their dues
   cover, for example `8` hours **every month**. The hours come back each
   month.

Do the same for each type of member you have.

## Reserve court hours for members

Open **Hours** in the sidebar. Each kind of court lists its prices by day and
time, and every time slot has a **Members Only** column.

1. On a slot you want to hold back, open the **Members Only** dropdown and tick
   the plans that should get it.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

Only members on those plans can book those hours. Leave the column alone on any
slot you want open to everyone, so members-only hours and public hours can sit
side by side on the same court. This is also how you hold a regular weekly slot
for one group of members.

  You can also just give members a cheaper price instead of keeping the hours
  to themselves. See
  [member-only times](/guides/bookings/custom-rates#membership-only-times).

## Add your existing members

Add the members you already have. If you left the plan showing on your booking
page, new members can sign themselves up too.

Open **Customers** in the sidebar.

1. Click **Add Customer** in the top right.
2. Fill in the member's details. **Name** and **Email** are needed, phone is
   up to you. When that person signs up later, their account connects on its
   own by email.
3. Under **Membership (optional)**, pick their plan.

  caption="Pick the member's plan as you create them."
/>

Leave **Send invitation email** ticked so the member gets a link to claim
their account. Do the same for each member.

When someone leaves the club, open their customer page and remove the
membership.
