Our story

About On Court

On Court started on the tennis court, not in a boardroom.

Why On Court exists

Picture this: you have just finished a three-set match you will be talking about for weeks. You shake hands, pack up, and a week later someone asks what the score was, and nobody quite agrees. Or you are trying to run a ladder for your club, and the standings live in three different chats and a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

On Court is built to fix that. It gives your ladders, box leagues, challenges and scores one home, so results are clear and the admin stays small.

Meet the founder

Hello there 👋, I'm Dave!

As someone who spends countless hours on the tennis court, I often wished there was a simpler way to set up friendly matches, competitive ladders and full-blown tournaments. That wish became On Court. I designed the app to take the pain out of organising, so you can focus on what you love: playing tennis.

How we build it

"If we wouldn't use it, we won't build it."

Every feature has to pass a simple test: would we actually use it when we play? Does it solve a real problem, or just add complexity? The app should stay out of the way, so you are thinking about your next shot rather than your phone.

Get involved

On Court gets better with every real match played on it. Download the app, tell your club and your hitting partners, and let us know what your ladder or box league needs, through the contact page or on Instagram.
