Forge is built for the junior on the court — so the player can run the whole system themselves, free. You do not need a coach or an academy subscription to start instrumenting your development.
Why free is the right tier
The reason most juniors are training in the dark is not lack of effort — it is lack of structure. A serious junior needs a way to break down their game, a way to plan against the gaps, and a way to track what is actually working. The cost of not having that structure is months of practice that doesn't transfer and matches that don't tell you what to fix.
That kind of structure should not be a $200 / month subscription. It should be the default. So Forge's core — the training plan, the analytics, the skills assessment, the drill catalog, the match and tournament log, the reflection loop, the opponent intel, the guides — sits in the free tier, permanently. The player who logs their work gets the system. That's the whole offer.
What the free tier looks like in a week
To make the offer concrete — a typical week for a junior using only the free tier:
- Monday. Log Saturday's match — five fields, ninety seconds. Reflection chips capture what worked and what broke down; the action plan composes automatically.
- Tuesday. Training plan shows today's session built around the chip that broke down. Drills carry measurable targets. Log scores per drill as you go.
- Wednesday. Live-ball day — the same focus area, now with movement. Performance score updates the drill-effectiveness ranking.
- Thursday. Match-play day. Sets played for record. Logged at the courts before the drive home.
- Sunday. Review the growth arc: where the chip moved, whether the practice player showed up in Saturday's match, what next week's focus is.
Every one of those surfaces sits in the free tier. No upgrade prompts; no paywalled buttons. The training plan guide walks through the structure in more depth.
Pro — the optional depth unlock
There is an optional Pro unlock that opens the full depth of your archive — every past match, tournament and opponent fully drillable rather than just your most recent. It changes nothing about the core: tracking, planning and improving your game is, and stays, free.
Pro is for the player whose growth arc has gotten long enough to be worth re-reading at any depth — typically a season or two in. The free tier always shows the most recent results in full; Pro just removes the depth limit on the tail.
Common questions
Is Forge really free for junior tennis players?
Yes. The full training plan, analytics, skills assessment, drill catalog, match log, opponent scouting, TennisIQ, and reflection loop are all in the free tier. No credit card, no trial period, no feature held hostage behind a paywall. Forge is built so the junior on the court can run the whole system themselves.
What is the Pro tier and what does it add?
Pro is an optional unlock that opens the full depth of your archive — every past match, tournament, and opponent fully drillable rather than just the most recent. It changes nothing about how you train, plan, or compete; it just lets you see the full historical record at any depth. The core product stays free.
Does Forge work without a coach or academy?
Yes — that is the point. Forge is designed so the player can diagnose their own game, build their own training plan, and track their own development without needing a coach to set it all up. A coach makes it better, but Forge does not require one.
Will Forge ever start charging for the basics?
No. The training plan, analytics, match log, drills, skills pyramid, and development plan are core to what Forge is for, and they stay free. If Forge ever adds new paid surfaces, they will be additions on top — not features lifted out of the free tier.
