Players drill technique for years — then guess on match day.
Coaches teach strokes on court, one at a time. There's rarely a structured way to practice the decision itself: what to play, when, and why — and whether it actually carries into real points.
How it works
Five steps. About thirty minutes. Tablets only.
The coach leads the room. Next Shot gives them real match situations to teach, discuss, and replay — with juniors, teens, or adults, group or private.

Look first. Players read the ball, the open space, and the opponent's position before anything else.
Then choose. Every option shows its tradeoff — a strong choice versus a riskier one — so players learn to weigh it, not guess.
For the coach
A live view of every player's thinking.
The coach's dashboard tracks who's read the situation, what they chose, why, and how they recovered — turning one class into a report that shapes the next lesson.

Prepared lessons
Defending under pressure, playing a net rusher, doubles teamwork — ready to run, no setup on court.

Rainy-day ready
Runs indoors, on tablets. Turns dead time into a paid, structured class.

Visible progress
Families see what players are learning beyond technique — with a practice focus to take on court.
How the business works
One license per location. The academy keeps the class revenue.
Clubs and academies pay a monthly license for the software, lessons, and coaching tools. They set class prices, collect payment, and pay their coaches — Next Shot just gives them another class to sell.

Where we are
Built with a coach. Piloting now.
Next Shot started as a working prototype built directly with a tennis coach — real situations, real classes, real feedback. We're looking for a first handful of academies to pilot with.
