Playtomic
Coaching is often the highest-margin product at padel clubs—but it competes for the same courts and peak hours as open play . The venues that win treat lessons as a revenue line with clear packaging , pricing , and scheduling rules , not as a favor the pro squeezes between doubles games.
This guide is for owners and head coaches who use Playtomic for court inventory and want coaching to grow net utilization.
Define products, not one-off favors Sell named offers:
Intro 3-pack for beginners (fixed off-peak band).Semi-private doubles tune-up (four players, 90 minutes ).Junior pathway with term dates and make-up policy.Post them on your site and confirmation flows so SEO and operations match.
Protect peak without starving coaches Options that work in practice:
Cap lesson share of prime bands (e.g. max 30% of courts 18:00–21:00 ).Price private peak at premium so yield stays honest.Anchor academy in shoulder hours; overflow to peak only when waitlists justify it.Measure coaching like a P&L line Weekly, track:
Coaching hours sold vs available coach hours .Attach rate : new bookers who add lesson in 14 days .Cannibalization proxy : open-play hours in same band before/after you expand lessons .Playtomic shows court bookings ; map internal codes or descriptions so reports separate lesson blocks from public rentals .
