We proudly introduce Chris Williams, the visionary founder behind our innovative platform.
Boasting a rich background as a tennis coach, PE teacher, and the driving force behind a thriving tennis school on Sydney’s North Shore for over three decades, Chris Williams has garnered invaluable insights into optimising the culture and overall experience for junior players. His journey began with a genuine concern: a noticeable disparity between the number of kids participating in tennis lessons and the few who actively engaged in play beyond those sessions.
Recognising the challenges faced by coaches, centers, and schools in providing a meaningful competitive pathway for junior players, Chris delved into the heart of the matter.
He identified a lack of opportunities for play and a notable absence of collaboration among operators. Fueled by determination, and buoyed by the success of several pilot events, Chris established EPC Sports (Every Point Counts) in 2019.
EPC Sports stands as a transformative force, not only elevating the experience for players and parents but also revolutionising the landscape for coaches, centers, schools, and associations. The EPC platform – a pinnacle of innovation, furnishes tournament organisers with a comprehensive management system. This empowers them to plan and promote events seamlessly, curbing administrative time and costs, while providing a precise and objective rating system for players.
Thanks to our “Best of Points” format, players now revel in a swift, enjoyable, and equitable tournament experience. The objective player rating system ensures evenly matched games, allowing young athletes to trace and navigate their progress through the colour ball levels of junior tennis. At EPC Sports, every point truly counts, and our commitment to enhancing the tennis ecosystem is unwavering.
Through creating accessible and more enjoyable tennis experiences, EPC Sports Platform and Player App encourages wider participation, inviting players of all skill levels to engage, learn, and develop in an inviting and supportive atmosphere.
EPC Sports provides a well-defined pathway for junior players, systematically developing their skills, tracking their advancement, and ultimately preparing them for higher levels of tennis competition.
EPC Sports offers a streamlined platform designed to significantly cut down administrative time and costs for tournament organisers.
Players can now enjoy more fun, fast and fair matches thanks to our unique ‘best of points’ match format. Kids will be more evenly matched against their opponents and with our obective player rating system, they will be able to track their own progress as they develop and advance through the red, orange and green colour ball levels.
EPC Sports provides the ideal pathway for junior tennis players to develop and enjoy their tennis, working their way up to the UTR system at the yellow ball level.
