Customer story
How Inge Performance Lab Runs the Whole Building From One Calendar
Inge Performance Lab trains baseball and softball players year round. Rentals, private lessons, team sessions, and programs used to live in different places. Now they run on one calendar. A parent books, the space is held, the waiver is signed on their phone, and the payment lands before anyone walks in. Staff spend their time on athletes instead of the schedule.
“The platform has been a great fit for managing scheduling, rentals, lessons, and overall sports facility operations. One of the biggest things that stands out is how responsive and supportive their staff has been as we continue building and growing our programs.”Rich Dell, Inge Performance Lab · 5-star Google review

The new software did not have a single glitch in setting up the matches, processing the matches, setting up the playoff matches and scoring every single match. Member and staff feedback about the system was outstanding.”

Jeremy, Owner, TexaSportsBuyer's Checklist
How to Choose Sports Facility Management Software
Most tools can rent a space by the hour. The gaps show up when rentals, programs, and memberships share the same building. Six things to check before you commit.
01 · Scheduling
Every Space on One Calendar
Courts, fields, cages, and rooms each keep their own hours and prices, and the whole building shows at a glance.
- Real-time availability
- Per-space session lengths
- Deposits and reminders
- Walk-ins at the counter
02 · Programs
Programs That Hold Their Space
Camps, classes, and league nights should block the court they use, so rentals never collide with them.
- Camps and clinics as events
- Leagues and tournaments on Pro
- Schedules sent to players
- Live standings and brackets
03 · Waivers
Waivers a Parent Signs for Minors
The person booking is rarely the person playing. One signature covers every kid and stays on file.
- Sign for one or more minors
- Stored on the customer record
- Required before checkout
- Reused on the next visit
04 · Memberships
Memberships That Enforce Themselves
Passes, punch cards, and monthly plans carry different rules. The software applies them at checkout so staff never have to.
- Credits that draw down at checkout
- Family plans
- Auto-renew billing
- Failed-card handling
05 · Payments
One Register, One Payout
Rentals, programs, concessions, and gift cards in one ticket. A register that does not talk to the calendar means two sets of numbers.

- Gift cards across the system
- One flat price per location

FAQ
Sports Facility Management Software FAQs
What is sports facility management software?
Sports facility management software runs the business side of a sports venue from one system. Customers book courts, fields, and cages online, sign waivers, and pay. Staff run programs, leagues, memberships, and the front counter from the same calendar, and owners see revenue by space, program, and location. The best platforms also help new customers find the facility on Google and AI search.
What is the difference between sports facility management software and booking software?
Booking software rents a space by the hour. Sports facility management software does that and runs everything around it: programs and leagues that hold their own space, memberships and passes, waivers, POS and concessions, staff roles, and reporting across every space and location. If rentals are only part of your revenue, you need management software.
How much does sports facility management software cost?
Platforms charge per booking, as a percentage of revenue, or as a flat monthly rate. Sports Carnival uses a flat rate per location with no setup fee: Growth is $199 a month, Pro is $299 and adds leagues, memberships, and 24/7 access, and Marquee is $499 and adds a website built for Google and AI search. Card processing is 3.1% + $0.30 per transaction through Stripe or Square.
Can Sports Carnival handle large facilities and big tournaments?
Yes. Large multi-court and multi-field facilities run every space, program, and membership on one calendar, and League Builder on the Pro plan runs tournaments with registration, brackets, and live standings. ACE Pickleball Club ran 626 teams and 1,252 players across 12 clubs in a single championship weekend on Sports Carnival. Facilities with more than one building add Franchise Suite for central pricing, staff roles, SSO, and network reporting.
Can I manage courts, fields, cages, and rooms from one calendar?
Yes. Every court, field, cage, and room is its own bookable space with its own hours, session lengths, and prices. They all sit on one calendar, so staff see the whole building at once and customers never double book.
Can I run leagues, camps, and programs alongside rentals?
Yes. Camps, clinics, and classes sell as events, and League Builder on the Pro plan runs leagues and tournaments with teams, schedules, brackets, and standings. Programs hold their space on the calendar, so a league night and a court rental never collide.
Do you support memberships and passes?
Yes. Sell monthly memberships, passes, and punch cards on auto-billing. Credits draw down at checkout and renewals bill on their own. Memberships are on the Pro plan.
Can parents sign waivers for their kids?
Yes. A parent signs once for one or more minors during booking or registration. The waiver stores on the customer record and the booking cannot complete without it.
Can the facility stay open without staff on site?
Yes. On the Pro plan, bookings and memberships tie to Kisi door access. A booking unlocks the door for that time slot and nothing else, so early mornings and late nights run without a front desk shift.
Do you integrate with Stripe or Square?
Yes. Sports Carnival connects directly to Stripe and Square for online, counter, and tablet payments. Rentals, programs, memberships, and concessions land in one payout.
Can you help us switch from our current facility software?
Yes. The onboarding team rebuilds your spaces, programs, memberships, and waivers in Sports Carnival, imports customer records where your current system allows an export, and connects Stripe or Square before you cancel anything, so there is no gap in bookings.
