    WHY TennisAppSuite … The Pains

    • Tennis is losing player participation at historic rates compelling 2021 ITF world conference to be on the theme of PARTICIPATION
    • Tennis is losing player participation at historic rates compelling 2021 ITF world conference to be on the theme of PARTICIPATION
    • The principal reasons for dwindling participation are:
      • Players are not visible to one another, even within clubs and local groups
      • Is it very hard to find and connect with players of compatible levels and availability schedules – Specially for new and intermediate players
      • Hard to find and participate in provider-organized match playing opportunities like ladders, leagues, tournaments
      • Tennis has an HR problem … professionals are scarce, spread thin and just not making enough money to foster and support participation growth
    • Tennis is losing market share to viral Pickle-ball and other racket sports.    Tennis courts occupancy rates are dismal and dwindling while Pickle-ball courts are crawling with players, fast taking over one out of every 4 courts worldwide
    • In a market where some 300+ million grassroots avid tennis players, and some 400k tennis pros\coaching providers, some 200k clubs and millions of community tennis groups, 90% +  LOGISTICS\ADMIN & COMMUNICATIONS ARE DONE MANUALLY.

    WHAT, TennisAppSuite SaaS … The Solution

    Provide a SaaS digital assistant to “digitally Link TENNIS COMMUNITIES so that:

    • Players become visible to one another [Just like Airbnb.Uber made travelers and rooms and rides visible to one another enabling the value exchange for all]
    • The app empowers finding and connecting with players of compatible levels and availability schedules – Specially during learning stages
    • Empowers easy finding and participation in local community match playing opportunities like tennis ladders, leagues, tournaments
    • Empowers tennis services providers to better monetize their brand and services – driving higher incomes from more value added clients services like analytics and live match\practice streaming, plus local sponsors advertising
    • Tennis becomes as easy to learn and participate in, as viral-growing Pickle-ball is

The program went viral in the region and run multiple league events. Frustratingly, Its rapid growth and popularity became its own downfall because the FTTC was unable to absorb the admin and logistics required to sustain the events and players. Nor was there adequate funding from sponsors to hire and pay the dozens of staff or recruit and manage volunteers to handle all of that … There had to be a better way!

        As a senior software architect in his day job, Cesar felt the pain and saw the need for a digital technology platform to enable running the events with more flexible scheduling at a minimum of staff time & cost, delivering a high dose of self-service admin and logistics handling features for families to act as a cohesive, tennis-purpose-driven community, united in a virtual tennis club embracing and supporting local, regional and national circles of players.
