Dear Parents,

As you know, the Austin Tennis Academy is constantly seeking better, more advanced training methods to make our tennis program the leader among juniors tennis programs. Given this commitment, it only made sense for us to select Tennis Locker as our official player development app. 

What is Tennis Locker—and what does this mean for you and your child? 

Tennis Locker is an app that combines cutting-edge technology with insightful analytics to help us develop smarter, faster, and better athletes than ever before. It also keeps parents more connected, engaged, and informed—ultimately allowing us to offer a better experience to you and your child. 

Some of our favorite features include: 

● Easy Attendance Tracking — Coaches will record attendance with a quick tap of the finger, and you’ll have easy access to see when your player attended practice. 

● Systematic Daily Evals — During or after practice, coaches will rate athletes on 4 different metrics, and you can check in at anytime to see how your player is performing and improving over time. 

● Accurate Fitness Testing — All fitness tests will be recorded using the Tennis Locker app, so you and your player can view specific test results and trends throughout the season. 

● Documented Practice Matches — Coaches will use Tennis Locker to assign practice match opponents, ensuring your player plays a wide variety of skill levels. Plus, win/loss records will automatically be recorded for you and your player to view at any time. 

● Motivational Leaderboards — As a fun way to keep players striving for more, your player will be able to view program leaderboards based on performance metrics, practice match history, and more. 

● Insightful Analytics — Tennis Locker uses charts and graphs to show you, your player, and our coaches how your athlete is improving over time, what to focus on in the next practice, and more.

● Clear Goals & Progression — Coaches can assign individualized goals to athletes, complete with push notifications to remind your player to work hard even outside of practice. 

● Full Events Calendar — All ATA events will be conveniently stored within the app, so you can check on upcoming events and deadlines anytime, anywhere. 

● Easier Communication — Thanks to Tennis Locker’s handy push notifications, you’ll never miss another important message about canceled practices, sales in our pro shop, upcoming events, tournament deadlines and more! 

● FREE to Parents & Players — We’re excited to invest in Tennis Locker to offer you and your player a better training experience. We’re even more excited to announce that Tennis Locker is absolutely free for parents and players!
