About Us
A little history
After coaching tennis for over 40 years — and running a coaching business for 22 of those – I needed a fast, simple way to manage 100+ students and 10+ coaches, all while balancing a day job in accounting and working as a head coach three nights a week.
When my family started the business, we were using spreadsheets, juggling 100+ emails, manually sending receipts, and reminding students about classes across multiple locations. I explored software options, but they were either didn’t cover everything we needed and very expensive.
So, as a CPA, Programmer and qualified Tennis Coach I built a system that streamlined my business, employ over 10+ coaches and worked at 3x tennis complex in the hills of Perth.
For over 15 years, TennisMate.com.au has helped us:
- Schedule classes, manage roll call and walk-ins, close online classes when at capacity, and auto-assign returning students to their previous classes
- Let students register, enroll, and pay online via Stripe – with instant email confirmations
- Send reminders by email or SMS with class time, club, and court details
- Track coach hours and send them weekly coaching schedules and pay advices
- Streamline competition messages with built-in SMS and email tools
- Generate operational, financial, and marketing reports
- Keep all customer interactions logged in one place for future reference
The biggest win? Time. Time back with family, and time to focus on delivering great coaching.
Where I once replied to hundreds of emails over the Christmas holidays, I now setup the term schedule before the break, send out an enrollment reminder a week before tennis starts, and watch payments come through – all automated. By the time classes start, everything’s locked in, students are paid up, and coaches are organised.
I recently handed over the business to one of our younger coaches, he was up and running within 1 hour – and taking payments once the coaches Stripe account was setup. I’m proud that we’ve managed three coaching venues, largely from our phones, thanks to this system.
