TNNS HEAD

Juniors tennis apps kind of suck.

They're hard to use.
They treat kids like numbers. WTN, UTR, USTA... SMH.
Finding an event takes 2 apps and 7 filters.
Coaching? Go find your own.

TNNS HEAD is a small team of builders and artists who are also players and parents. We're building the experience our own kids deserve, whether they're getting ready for a big match, fixing a serve or fighting through a plateau.

What we're building

AI +Tennis + Humans

People call our app ChatGPT for tennis. That's only partly true. Ask for any event and you'll find it. Before a match we find warm-up courts, flag the weather, and serve prep videos from real coaches we interviewed, on everything from warming up to handling nerves. AI answers the tough questions on points and rankings, and helps plot a path to college tennis across 1,000+ university profiles.

AI VIDEO COACHING

Real conditions, real analysis

Yes, there are lots of AI coaching apps. None handle the reality of junior tennis:
Fences & crappy viewpoints.
Odd angles.
No camera mount. Handheld only.

We built for exactly those conditions, so real coaching works for just about anyone, wherever they play.
