TierBreak builds your junior tennis player's year in one place: matches point by point, training, the mental work, tournaments, and what the coach sees. START WITH THE SCORE Enter a finished match in about twenty seconds, or track it live, point by point. Paste a USTA results page or photograph a draw sheet, and check each match before it is added. TRACK IT THE WAY IT IS PLAYED Eight scoring presets, from USTA Junior no-ad to an 8-game pro set. Singles and doubles, the serve rotation handled for you. Two taps a point gives you the analytics; add detail as you like. Undo, correct the score or fix the format mid-match. Works with no signal. SEE WHAT DECIDED IT Break points, first serve in play, the return matrix, a momentum chart that marks aces and double faults, and serve placement, rally length, spin and winners against errors when you track them. You choose what to track, for you and your coach. TRAIN THE MENTAL GAME LIKE A SKILL A self-assessment places your athlete in one of five phases of a 28-step pathway: pre-match routine, between-point routine, changeover reset, cue words. Focus games, scored against your own best and never another child's. The Proof shows how pressure points went before the pathway and since. FOR THE ATHLETE ON MATCH DAY A heads-up the evening before. Guided audio for the night before, the car ride, pre-match calm or activation, and between matches, saved to play with no signal. Match Day prep: three things to keep in mind, from their own notes, the coach and a parent; the pre-match routine they built; their match plan, go-to patterns and cue words; and opponent scouting with Advanced. WIN THE DAY Log a training session in seconds. One real thing done turns the day green, the week counts toward your days-a-week goal, and a planned rest day never breaks the streak. PLAN THE SEASON Add each tournament to your calendar: its name, first and last day, location, age group and level. Paste its USTA page for links to the tournament, its entry list and its draws. Camps, training blocks, rest days and practice matches share the calendar, free. TierBreak proposes rest after a long camp and, with Advanced, between close tournaments. FOR THE PARENT AT THE FENCE What your athlete is working on, a brief for the drive home, and your own read of the match that never overwrites theirs. WORK WITH A COACH, ON YOUR TERMS A coach you accept reads the week, logs the lesson and you get the note, sets homework your athlete ticks off, and writes the plan and a parent brief. You see everything they write. Seven switches per child set what they see. PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT A player under 13 is set up by their guardian; AI stays off unless the guardian turns it on, and the journal stays readable by the guardian. A player of 13 or over gets a private journal. No advertising. AI YOU SWITCH ON Off until a parent turns it on: the match story, car-ride brief, journal patterns, college brief, scouting and prep chat, with Advanced. FREE AND ADVANCED Free: every capture field, the analytics, the focus games, six audio tracks, six months of history, one athlete, the coach connection, your own calendar with your tournaments, and CSV export. Advanced adds phases 2 to 5 of the pathway, fourteen more audio tracks, the AI briefs, opponent scouting and the prep chat, rest proposals around your tournaments, your record against each opponent, a second athlete and every season. Advanced has a 14-day free trial; the price is under In-App Purchases and in the app before you subscribe. SUBSCRIPTIONS TierBreak Advanced is an optional auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tierbreak.app/privacy
