AI Padel features

Every feature below works in a club today. New ones appear here once they pass a live-play check.

For players

Auto scoringThe court cameras see every rally and keep the score by padel rules: 15–30–40, golden point or advantage, games, sets and tie-break.Line callingThe biggest argument in padel is whether the ball touched the floor before hitting the glass.Match recordingEvery match on a smart court records itself — no operator, no phone on a tripod, no buttons on the cameras.HighlightsThe court server finds the best rallies of the match by itself and cuts them from every camera — with a score overlay, the club logo and court sound.Heatmap and player movementCourt cameras follow each of the four players through the whole match.3D player poseSeveral court cameras see a player from different sides, and the court server builds their pose in three dimensions: arms, torso and legs in every rally.AI coachA few minutes after the match the player gets a “Match review ready” notification: what worked, what did not and what to practise for the next game — from the numbers of their own match, captured by the court cameras.Match insights on the court terminalThe game is over — the review is already on the screen by the court: how the chances of winning changed, where the turning point was, what worked for each pair, and in the 3D replay — where to stand in a key rally.Match videos by QR — no app, no sign-upAfter the match the terminal shows a QR and PIN: players open the clips of their moments on the phone with no app or sign-up, download and share them.Player appEverything the court cameras film reaches the player's phone: matches with video, score and review, highlights, level and statistics.Technique analysisA player uploads a video of their game from the phone and gets a review: shots, court movement, technique errors and a 0–100 score for each stroke phase.Rating and levelA player's level from 1.0 to 7.0 changes after matches on a smart court: by result, opponents' strength and score.Play and communityPlayers do not need to hunt for partners in messengers: open matches are matched by level, the club has a ladder, a box league and tournaments with a draw, and results add up to achievements and profile statistics.CoachingEverything about training in one app: find a club coach and book together with a court, get an exercise programme, join a group, take a child to a junior section and hear short tips in an earpiece during play — based on what the court cameras measured.Game statisticsCourt cameras and sensors turn a match into numbers: which shots were played, how fast the ball flew, how far the player ran and how much effort the game took.Tournaments and drills on the courtThe club runs Americano and Mexicano without paper tables: players gather at the terminal, rounds run in sync on all courts, cameras keep score, the table is on the shared screen.Score on your smartwatchThe court cameras keep the score and the watch shows it large, like a scoreboard: points, games, sets and who serves.

For clubs

Live streamingA match from the court goes live with the score over the video — no camera operator, no laptop by the court.Court scoreboard and club screenA TV by the court shows the live match score — large, visible from anywhere on the court.Instant replay on the court terminalA disputed ball is settled by the court in seconds: players tap Replay on the terminal or say “Court, replay!” — and watch the last rally full screen, from any court camera, in slow motion, drawing with a finger where the ball landed.Court booking and club CRMPlayers see free time on the club's courts and book in the app in a minute — with the price, court choice and payment as the club prefers.Court terminalEvery smart court has a terminal with a screen.Works without internetEverything that happens on court is computed on the court server in the club network.Club admin and court cardEverything about the club in one window: bookings and regular clients, what is happening on each court right now, camera and connection alarms, outs and labeling, staff and their access.Court reliabilityCameras, connection and the court server are watched around the clock: the owner learns about a problem at once, and the court fixes much by itself — restarts services, corrects camera calibration, goes online via a SIM card — while a neighbouring court can restart a frozen one.Court videoCourt cameras do more than record.Club CRMThe club sees where players come from, who stopped coming and whom to call.Club operationsThe club's day-to-day in one admin panel: recurring bookings and a waitlist, memberships with freezes, staff shifts and timesheets, lockers and equipment rental.Payments and salesPrices, payment methods, bonuses and promotions are set by the club itself.

Zero-budget marketing

Players publish highlights of their own matches.

Modules

Analytics modules

Nine modules that work together: from finding the ball in the frame to ready-made highlights and stats export.

01

Ball tracking

A neural network finds the ball even at high speed and with motion blur; the system builds the trajectory and detects shots and bounces.

02

Shot types

Every shot gets a type from the ball's path and the player's pose: serve, return, volley, groundstroke, overhead, smash or lob. In coach mode a coach can correct the type, including bandeja and víbora.

03

Speed in km/⁠h

Ball speed is computed from its 3D path in court meters — every shot gets a speed and an error estimate.

04

Heat maps

Where the ball travels most and how players move — a visual map of court zones for tactical analysis.

05

Auto-highlights

The system automatically cuts the best rallies and smashes into short clips — ready to share right after the match.

06

Automatic match scoring

Full 15-30-40 scoring, games, sets and tie-break by padel rules — no referee needed; the score is on the scoreboard and smartwatch.

07

Replay and stats

Replay of the latest rally on the court terminal, match video and stats in the app; CSV exports in the admin panel and JSON via the open API.

08

Out calls

The court server calls out from the ball's path and lights a lamp at the court. A disputed ball can be reviewed on video.

09

Court calibration

Each camera is tied to the court lines. The court server checks the calibration against the white lines and corrects it automatically if a camera shifts.

Four steps

How it works

Cameras around the court and a court server with a GPU right at the club. No racket sensors, no chips in the ball.

  1. Cameras capture the court

    Overview cameras and ball cameras around the court — eight on our reference court. Video goes to the court server over the club network.

  2. The court server recognizes

    Neural networks find the ball and the players' poses in every frame and build the ball's path in 3D: shots, bounces, net crossings.

  3. Decisions on the fly

    Score by padel rules, out calls with a court lamp, shots and ball speed — all computed on the court server, even if the internet drops.

  4. Results for players and the club

    Score on the scoreboard and smartwatch, replay on the terminal; highlights, video and stats in the app within minutes, everything for the club in the admin panel.
