CourtReserve: CourtReserve Academy — Our New Deep-Dive Training Program

Watch Time: 16 mins
Nobody should learn a new system live, with a line at the front desk. CourtReserve Academy fixes that. Join the Education Team for a look at the new Academy training — what it covers, who on your team belongs in it, and why structured training beats trial-and-error. You'll also find out how you and your club get access to the new sandbox feature: a full working copy of your CourtReserve environment where staff can train, test, and play without touching production. Build it, break it, rebuild it — no live member accounts, no cleanup.

Every session ties back to the CLUB GROWTH FLYWHEEL.

Day 1: Full day of instructions, foundations
Day 2: ½ day hands-on training
Training Location: St. Augustine, Florida

CourtReserve Academy regular price: $595 per person
Watch the webinar and obtain a discount code for a low Academy cost of
$149 pp!
