Workshop plan for a Tennis Community App

We’re organizing this design workshop to bring together the people who live, play, and work within Lagos’ tennis community because the best way to design Let’s Play is to do it with the people it’s meant for.

Rather than guess what players, coaches, and court managers need, we’re creating a space to hear their experiences directly, map their daily journeys, and co-create smarter solutions. This workshop is about building the foundation of a product that feels intuitive, solves real problems, and reflects the local tennis culture from day one.

By collaborating early, we aim to ensure the MVP is not only usable, but truly useful.

Let’s Play was born out of a real need: tennis players in Lagos struggle to find partners, book courts, and connect with coaches. After speaking with players, coaches, and facility managers, it became clear that the current process (spread across WhatsApp, calls, and word-of-mouth) is inefficient and frustrating. With tennis growing locally and mobile adoption rising, we saw an opportunity to build a focused, community-driven app.

The MVP prioritizes three essential features: partner matching, court booking, and coach discovery delivered through a simple, mobile-first experience. Every decision is grounded in user feedback, practicality, and the goal of fostering a more connected and accessible tennis community in Lagos.
