01 / OVERVIEW

THE CHALLENGE

Quality coaching is expensive and time-limited. Players want feedback, drill recommendations, and match analysis — but can only access their coach for a few hours a week. Between sessions, they're on their own.

For clubs, scaling coaching quality means hiring more coaches. That's expensive, slow, and not always possible. The question: could AI provide the routine coaching knowledge layer that sits between lessons?

02 / THE PAIN POINTS

THE GAPS

  • 01
    LIMITED COACHING ACCESS
    Players get 1–2 hours coaching per week at most. No support between sessions. Questions go unanswered until the next lesson.
  • 02
    NO MATCH ANALYSIS
    Players lose matches and don't know why. No tactical feedback, no pattern recognition, no data-led insights on strengths and weaknesses.
  • 03
    COACHING DOESN'T SCALE
    A club with 200 members and 3 coaches has a capacity problem. The only way to improve coaching reach was to increase headcount — until now.
  • 04
    GENERIC TRAINING PLANS
    Most training advice is generic. Players at different skill levels need personalised guidance — but one-to-one personalisation doesn't scale manually.
03 / THE SOLUTION

WHAT WE BUILT.

01

AI COACHING CHATBOT

A conversational AI assistant trained on tennis coaching knowledge — technique, tactics, fitness, mental game. Players ask questions in plain English and get expert-level responses instantly, any time of day or night.

02

MATCH ANALYSIS

Players input match data — scores, patterns, errors, winners. The AI analyses the data, identifies tactical patterns, and generates a post-match coaching report with specific improvement recommendations.

03

PERSONALISED TRAINING PLANS

Based on player level, goals, and match data, OnCourtAI generates weekly training plans tailored to the individual — specific drills, physical conditioning, and mental game exercises.

THE CORE INSIGHT

Every business has knowledge trapped in the heads of its best people. AI chatbots are how you extract that knowledge, systematise it, and make it available at scale — to customers, staff, or both.
