For reserving a court is a prepositional phrase; for is the preposition, and the gerund clause (a noun clause, like all gerund clauses) reserving a court is the object of the preposition. In the gerund clause, reserving is the actual gerund, the verb. A court is a noun phrase, the direct object of reserving. The fact that reserving has an object is why we can be certain it's a gerund, because they're verbs and can have direct objects.
