The serve is a chain
Stance, toss, racquet drop, contact, and follow-through connect. Reviewing them in order shows a player where the chain changes.
CoachCore
Tennis video analysis software
Tennis video analysis software for coaches
Tennis video analysis software lets a coach review a player's serve or strokes on video, step to the key positions, mark them up, and send a finished explanation. In CoachCore the coach chooses every frame and draws every mark.
CoachCore does not detect or measure a motion for you. You choose the frames, place the marks, and make the call. The editor makes what you see easier to show.
Why tennis technique is hard to coach from the baseline
A player cannot see their own serve while they are hitting it.
Footwork is easy to miss
Movement between shots does not show up in a stroke-only clip. Video of the whole point shows where the player is when the ball arrives.
Feedback needs a picture
Telling a player their contact is too far back means more when a line is drawn across their own frame.
Try the tennis editor Beta
Review a clip in the real editor.
The sample is a swing clip. Step frame by frame, mark a frame, freeze it, and see how the review would reach a player.
- Freeze the contact point
- Mark body position and alignment
- Slow motion and zoom
- Compare two clips
- Voice feedback
- Share as a link
This is the real CoachCore video editor running on a sample clip. Saving, share links, and student sends are turned off in the sample.
What it should include
What tennis coaches review on video.
Serve mechanics
Step through stance, toss, trophy position, racquet drop, contact, and follow-through. Freeze each position and draw on it as needed.
Stroke technique
Review forehand, backhand, volley, and return preparation, from the unit turn through contact and finish, and mark the contact point on the frame.
Footwork
Film a rally or a drill and step through the split step, the approach to the ball, and the recovery, so a player can see where their feet were.
Body positioning
Draw lines for shoulder or hip alignment and for balance over the feet, and freeze the frame so the player can see them.
Annotated visual feedback
Add lines, circles, and angles, zoom into a position, and record your voice so the player sees and hears the same cue together.
Before-and-after comparison
Put an earlier serve next to a recent one, trimmed to start at the same point, so a change in technique is visible.
A serve example
What a serve review looks like in the editor.
A player sends a clip of a first serve filmed from behind. You freeze at the trophy position and draw a line along the shoulders, then step forward to the racquet drop and mark where the racquet head is. At contact, you freeze and draw a circle around the contact point.
As the clip plays slowly you describe what you see in each position. The player gets one video they can watch before their next hit and bring to the next lesson.
A footwork example
Reviewing movement across a rally.
For a rally or a drill, you step to the moment the opponent makes contact and freeze to show where the player's feet were, then step forward to the split step and the first move. Drawing a line from one frame to the next helps show how far they moved.
Because the editor works on any clip, you can review a drill the same way you review a single stroke.
Academies and clubs
Review technique for a whole group of players.
Tennis academies often have several coaches and many players. The Facility plan lets each coach use the same editor under the facility's brand, next to court bookings, memberships, and clinics.
How it works
A tennis review, from clip to feedback.
The steps are the same in every sport. These show how they look on a tennis clip.
- 1
Get the clip
A player sends a serve, stroke, or drill clip, or you load video from a lesson.
- 2
Find the key positions
Step to the trophy position, contact, or the split step and freeze them.
- 3
Mark the frame
Draw alignment lines, a circle at contact, or an angle. You place each mark.
- 4
Explain it
Slow the clip down and record your voice over what you marked.
- 5
Send it to the player
Share a link or message it, and keep it with the player's record.
Editor tools
The editor tools tennis coaches use most.
Frame-by-frame stepping
Land on the trophy position, racquet drop, or the contact point.
Lines, circles, and angles
Mark shoulder alignment, the contact point, or the angle of the racquet.
Freeze and focus
Hold the frame and focus on the part of the picture you are discussing.
Slow motion and zoom
Slow a serve or a stroke and zoom in on the contact or the feet.
Side-by-side mode
Compare two serves or strokes, trimmed to the same starting point.
Voice-over
Explain the cue out loud so the player hears it while watching the mark.
Connected platform
Video analysis is one part of a connected coaching platform.
Video review is one part of running a tennis coaching business. In CoachCore it sits beside the rest.
Student management
Keep each player's video reviews with their record and notes.
Lessons and booking
Players book lessons and packages on your site, and a review can be applied to the lesson it came from.
Training programs
Pro includes programs, so a technical focus can become drills the player works on between lessons.
Progress tracking
Pro includes progress tracking to record how a player develops over time.
Messaging
Send the review to the player or a parent from the editor.

FAQ
Tennis video analysis questions
Does CoachCore analyze my player's serve automatically?
No. The editor does not automatically analyze a serve or detect positions. You step to the frames you want, draw your own marks, and give your own coaching.
Can I review footwork, not just strokes?
Yes. The editor works on any clip, so you can film a rally or a drill and step through the split step, movement, and recovery.
How do I show a player their contact point?
Freeze the frame at contact and draw a circle or line on it. Then play the clip slowly with your voice over it.
Can a player send me a serve to review?
Yes. Players send video, you review it in the editor, and you send the annotated feedback back as a link that opens on any phone or computer.
Can a tennis academy with several coaches use it?
Yes, through the Facility plan, where coaches at the facility use the same editor under the facility's brand.
Show a player what you see at contact.
Open the tennis demo, step through a clip, and see the feedback a player would get.
