December is when clubs shine: company socials, family mixers, and “back-in-town” open play. It’s also when teams get stretched thin running check-ins, answering a thousand questions, and trying to keep rotations on time. The win-win: let cleaning run itself so your staff can be visible, calm, and fun.

The Problem

Holiday crowds multiply little tasks: more shoes → more grit, more play → more fuzz, more guests → more questions. If cleaning remains manual, staff gets pulled off the floor, turnover buffers evaporate, and nights start late. The vibe flips from festive to frazzled.

1) Program Holiday Waves (Predictability Over Perfection)‍

- Mornings: family/juniors. Afternoons: “travelers welcome” drop-ins. Evenings: mixers/ladders.

- Publish a simple weekly graphic everywhere (site, lobby screen, Stories).

2) Protect Real Reset Buffers

- 15–25 minutes between waves.

- Checklist: balls staged, net check, quick low-moisture pass on baselines/NVZ, signage updated.

- Put “Reset Complete” timestamps on a small screen to reduce “are we starting?” interruptions.

3) Create a Guest Fast-Track

- QR “Holiday Guest Pass” with pricing, how to join, and where to wait.

- Friendly script: “Welcome! Scan here and you’ll be on court in ~15 minutes.”

4) Assign Roles That Save Sanity

- Greeter (first-timers + waivers), Turn Captain (timing), Court Scout (spots & staging).

- Short two-minute huddle before each wave: who owns what, top risks, quick wins.

Takeaway

The holidays don’t require more staff; they require more structure. When cleaning is automatic, your team can host, connect, and keep the room joyful.
