Exception: If you value priority booking during peak times or want to support club development

Consider: Location convenience, court quality, community atmosphere
Priority venues: Clubs with active tournament scenes and competitive communities

Consider: Junior programs, family events, multi-sport options
Premium venues: Facilities suitable for client entertainment
Consider: Corporate packages, event organization, professional environment

Premium clubs offer locker rentals for $50-150 annually, convenient for regular players who prefer leaving equipment on-site.
