Unlike booking a full sequence of classes, reserving a multi-week course, or purchasing a membership, some locations offer instant booking. Instant booking allows you to quickly reserve individual items such as courts, picnic tables, or similar facilities for specific time slots.
What Is Instant Booking?
Instant booking provides short, available time slots that can be reserved immediately without committing to a long-term schedule. Availability varies by location and item.
Booking a Court Using Instant Booking
To determine whether a court or item is available for instant booking:
Browse locations that support instant booking.
Look below the location listing for time slot availability indicators.
If instant booking is available, you will see selectable time slots displayed directly on the page.
For example, tennis courts that support instant booking may display available time slots beneath the location listing, allowing you to reserve a court quickly.
Important Notes
Instant booking availability depends on the location.
Not all items or locations support instant booking.
Available time slots may change based on demand.
Reserve a Time Slot
To reserve a time slot using instant booking:
Select the time slot you want to reserve.
Choose the duration for your reservation.
Select the household participant who will be using the reservation.
Choose an available court from the list.
Review the hourly court rate, if a fee applies.
Select “Book” to continue with the reservation process.
You will be guided through the remaining steps to complete your booking.
Entering a new Payment Method or Using a Saved One
When reserving a court through Rec, you can either use a saved payment method or enter a new payment method during checkout.
Using a New Payment Method
If you have not previously reserved a court, you can securely enter a new payment method, including:
Credit card
Debit card
Google Pay
All payments are securely processed through Stripe using 256-bit encryption.
Using a Saved Payment Method
If you have a saved payment method on your account, you can select it during checkout to complete your reservation more quickly.
Once you've entered a card and completed the checkout, we'll conveniently save your card in our secure vault for the next time you complete a court reservation.
Activation/Verification Code
To verify your phone number, we will send a verification code to you by SMS text message.
Receiving Your Verification Code
The verification code is sent immediately after you request it.
In some cases, delivery may take longer than usual.
Delays can occur due to network congestion or your mobile service provider.
If Your Code Is Delayed
If you do not receive your verification code in a reasonable amount of time:
Wait a few minutes and check your messages again.
Confirm that your phone number is entered correctly.
Contact your mobile service provider for assistance, as they control message delivery.
Entering Your Verification Code
After you receive the SMS verification code:
Enter the code on the verification screen.
Make sure the code you entered matches the code sent to your phone.
Select “Confirm” to complete the process.
Once confirmed, your court booking will be finalized and your reservation will be secured.
Once confirmed, you'll get an email letting you know you're booked and reserved.
