About Us

Hey there!

Tennis has always come with barriers — finding a court, chasing down a partner, and feeling embarrassed as a beginner. Whether you're just starting out or picking the sport back up, it’s always felt just out of reach.

That’s why we created the NextGen™ Tennis Buddy — to bring the game home. No court needed. No partner required. Just real tennis, anywhere you have space to swing. It’s a way for anyone to get back in the game, build confidence in private, and stay active without the pressure.

As a busy adult, it’s a powerful way to reconnect with fitness and have fun again. And for kids, it builds coordination, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits — no screens required.

We believe tennis should be simple, fun, and available to everyone. That’s what UpriseAthlete is all about.

Welcome to the new way to play. Welcome to UpriseAthlete.
