You coach —
we handle the rest.

We’re building a next-generation operating system for youth tennis and padel academies. Join us at an early stage.

One system for the entire academy

Why we’re building Pacero

We’re looking for academies to use & test Pacero.

The product is in active development. We are now opening it to a small group of tennis and padel academies as early partners.

It works as follows. You put pacero.ai to work and tell us what’s missing. We improve it — and you get a system that perfectly meets your needs, free of charge.

If that’s interesting — write directly to juri@pacero.ai.

What it solves

The three main issues addressed by pacero.ai.

We guess these sound familiar to every academy.

01

Communication is chaos.

WhatsApp turns into noise. Messages get lost in chats. Parents stay uninformed.

02

Scheduling is a challenge.

Rain changes everything. Manual rescheduling by phone wastes hours.

03

Progress is invisible.

Parents don’t see the child’s development. They stop seeing the value and leave.

What it does

We close the loop around the training process.

You coach — we handle the rest.

Why now

WhatsApp was never built to run a modern academy.

Parents expect convenient communication and visibility of progress — not chaos in group chats. They want to see how their child is developing.

Different software exists on the market, but these problems were here ten years ago and they remain today — affecting retention, trust, and the overall academy experience.

That’s why we’re building pacero.ai: a modern operating system for academies that brings the really vital features into one place.

We’re now onboarding a small number of early partners who want to solve these problems early — not keep patching them for another few years.
