OX TENNIS

What OX TENNIS does

OX Tennis is a private SportsTech company founded in 2025 and headquartered in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. It operates a web and mobile platform positioned as the first social network unifying tennis players, coaches, and clubs within a single application. The company is led by founder and CEO Simon Bartmann and has grown to between 11 and 50 employees.

The platform's product surface is broad and modular, comprising more than 25 distinct features organized around three user constituencies. Player-facing modules include a Player Dashboard, court booking, equipment tracking, training schedules, partner finding, and Tap and Play for impromptu matches. Coach-facing modules include a Coach Dashboard, Trainer Platform, Trainer Profile Pages, dedicated coach onboarding, and coach recruiting flows. Club-facing modules include an Admin Dashboard, Club Website Builder, Tournament Management, Financial Dashboard, and academy features. Additional modules extend into adjacent areas such as a Shop for e-commerce, Hotels for travel, and seasonal competition features including a Summer League and Club Challenge 2026. The platform also offers dedicated Media Partners and Press pages, plus an Investors page, indicating intent to support PR and capital-raising functions.

OX Tennis's go-to-market is community-led and self-serve, distributing through a direct web application with onboarding flows for coaches and clubs. Its customer segments span three primary personas — individual tennis players, tennis coaches, and tennis clubs — addressed through a horizontal segmentation approach. The revenue model is described as platform services with recurring subscription characteristics, though no specific pricing tiers, contract values, or revenue figures have been publicly disclosed. International intent is signaled by the inclusion of German-language modules such as "Platzbuchung" (court reservation) and "Rechnungsservice" (billing), suggesting an early foothold or roadmap toward the DACH market. No funding rounds, named customers, AI-specific capabilities, or partnership details beyond a Media Partners program have been disclosed.

• CourtReserve: Established tennis and pickleball club management software offering court scheduling, member management, and billing. Directly comparable as a B2B club management solution in the same racquet sport vertical.

Broad incumbents

• SportEngine: Large US-based sports club and league management platform serving multiple sports. Broader incumbent with overlapping club admin, registration, and communication features relevant to tennis clubs.
• TeamSnap: Widely adopted team and club management app used across youth and amateur sports. Comparable in scheduling, communication, and roster management functionality for coaches and players.
