Great facilities, sitting empty.

Plenty of schools already hire out after hours — it just costs the office a morning of calls, invoices and chasing to make it happen.

Nobody knows you hire out

Locals hunting for a pitch on Thursday night never find your school.

Bookings live in the inbox

Every enquiry means a phone call, an email thread and a diary check.

Chasing money afterwards

Invoices, bank transfers and no-shows leave the office out of pocket.

What you can do

Community hire, fully automated.

Get seen locally

Your pitches and halls appear in front of players searching in your area.

Your hours, your rules

Choose what’s bookable from 4pm, at weekends and in the holidays — term time stays untouched.

Paid before they arrive

Every slot is paid up front, so no invoices, no chasing and no lost income.

Regular block bookings

Lock in the weekly 5-a-side league or club that fills the same slot all term.

Park, play, drive off

Bookers turn up with a booking on their phone — no keys to hand over, no one on the gate.

Questions, sorted

Will this interfere with school hours?

No. You set exactly which hours are bookable — usually after 4pm, weekends and holidays. Nothing outside those windows can be booked.

Do we need staff on site to hand over keys?

Not where access is coded or already open — bookers arrive with a booking on their phone. If you need a caretaker present, only list the hours they work.

How and when does the school get paid?

The public pay up front when they book, and payouts transfer to the school’s account automatically.

Can we take regular block bookings?

Yes — hire the same slot weekly or termly to a league, club or coach and let it repeat.

What does it cost the school?

Listing is free with no monthly fee. A small platform fee applies to paid bookings — see the pricing page.

Already using a booking system?

Keep it. Connect ApnaKey alongside it to fill your last open slots and unlock a new stream of revenue — no rip-and-replace.
