Courts

Setting up your courts properly ensures players can find, book, and enjoy your facilities smoothly. Whether you're managing a padel paradise or a full-fledged multi-sport complex, Thril makes it easy to create and configure courts to fit your setup perfectly. Here's how to get started.

⚙️ Navigate to Manage Courts

To begin:

1. Head over to the left-side menu in your admin dashboard.
2. Go to Settings under the Venue settings section.
3. Click on Manage courts to view, edit, or create new courts for your venue.

Here, you'll see an overview of all your current courts including details like sport type, surface, and activation status.

➕ Add a New Court

To add a court:

1. Click the Add court button at the top right.
2. A new form will open where you can enter key court details:
   • Court name and number (name is optional, number is required)
   • Sport types (select one or more from the dropdown)
   • Outdoor toggle (flip this if the court is outside)
   • Court surface (e.g., hard, grass, clay)

Optionally, you can also add Reservation instructions that are shown to customers before and after their bookings. This is perfect for tricky locations, door codes or special access requirements.

Once you're ready, hit Create to add your court to the system.

✏️ Edit or Deactivate a Court

Need to update an existing court?

1. From the Manage courts list, click on any court to open its settings.
2. Make your edits: change the sport, adjust the surface, update instructions, or rename it.
3. Use the Active/Inactive toggle to control availability. Deactivating a court hides it from public booking but keeps your data intact.

Don’t forget to click Save changes when you’re done.

📌 Tips for Optimal Setup

• Be descriptive: If you name courts (e.g., “Padel 1 - Outdoor”), it helps customers orient themselves faster.
• Use reservation instructions for directions, lock codes, or house rules.
• Keep statuses up to date: Deactivate courts under renovation or temporarily closed to avoid booking conflicts.
