INTRODUCTION
The following outlines the way in which 135 will work with Sharper Tennis Academy and UWA Tennis Club, its coaches and players, to achieve better outcomes for players using 135’s systems, education and technology.
135 is committed to long term relationships with partner coaches and academies. All education, technology and services will be provided through Sharper coaches, rather than independent of them. It is vital that 135 forms part of the Sharper/UWA team and program over time, rather than an external service provided only to certain players.
OBJECTIVE
135’s initial objective is to add value to the Sharper/UWA program, and continue to do so over time. It is important to note that 135 is a service, not just a tech product.
Further, our objective is to assist aspirational juniors in becoming better tennis players, not just better hitters of a tennis ball. We do this by understanding that each player is an individual and, as such, each Sharper/UWA player will have different strengths and weaknesses.
Through an ongoing process of profiling, benchmarking and measuring, 135 closes the developmental loop between match court, player, parent and coach.
A 135 profile is established using metrics from the 135 Framework. It’s the way an individual plays tennis and requires 2-4 matches of data for each player
135 benchmarking is derived from our relationships with worldwide clients like Tennis Canada, and from tournaments like Tarbes and Orange Bowl
Profiling and benchmarking show where a player’s match play development is at a given time. Measuring player improvement should be an ongoing process
IMPLEMENTATION
We work towards a goal of becoming a compulsory resource for Sharper/UWA players above a certain level, as well as for new players to the Sharper/UWA program.
Implementation is in 3 stages:
- Profile and consult to one of Sharper’s top players to demonstrate benefits to Sharper’s Director.
- Profile and consult to a further 4 Sharper players at a cost of $195 per player (Term 4, 2023)
- Roll out to the remainder of the playing group, includes site visit with education etc (Term 1, 2024)

NOTES ON PRICING & INCLUSIONS
- 1 x 135 cameras and mounting system will be provided free of charge when 15 or more players are participating.
- 135’s Director and Head of Analysis will personally visit Sharper/UWA to present to players, parents and coaches to assist in the roll-out of 135’s systems (after at least 15 players are participating).
- Other education will take place online, including player consults, 135 App training etc.
- Automated reports are sourced directly from the 135 Analyser.
- Development reports are prepared by a 135 Analyst who will suggest areas that require attention in the coming period, and discuss these with the player’s coach.
- 135’s A.I. is used for Platinum and Gold players. Our A.I. adds an extra dimension to player analytics by measuring aspects of a player’s game like player position, ball position at contact point, ball speed, height over the net and many others.
- Players, parents and coaches are free to use the 135 App to record analytics and upload them to the 135 Analyser in between match recording periods at no cost (training provided).
- 135 will provide regular sessions with players, parents and coaches to discuss analytics – important addition to any academy program.
- New players to the Sharper/UWA program will receive service at the Silver level at a reduced rate of $195 (1st time only).
FUTURE
135 provides its services at no cost to academies. There will always be an initial period of training and education to ensure take-up. This goes for players, parents and coaches.
In time, 135’s involvement in the consulting side of player development will diminish, to be taken on by a coach within Sharper/UWA, trained by 135 to do the job. As this process develops, it is also expected that a dollar amount from each player participating in 135 consults will be retained by Sharper/UWA, while 135 will continue to consult directly to that coach rather than the playing group as a whole.
