Peak Agility Table Tennis
It is never too late to learn table tennis.
The Melbourne academy I co-founded with Alex in November 2024. Group and private coaching for adults and kids across four venues (Altona North, Melbourne CBD, Mount Waverley and Clayton), plus corporate and school programmes. Rough early months, then break-even, then profit, and a known name in Melbourne table tennis inside our first year.
- Profitable in year one
- Four venues across Melbourne
- Corporate + school programmes
- SEO-driven inbound weekly
Co-founder. I run the tech, finance, admin and legal side, and the SEO that brings organic inquiries in every week; Alex leads operations, coach rostering and sales. We both coach, and we both do B2B outreach for corporate and school partnerships.
- Adult group coaching ($40 a session)
- Junior group coaching
- Private 1-to-1 coaching ($80 a session)
the full list(3)
- Corporate Cup and office coaching
- School programmes
- Bats and equipment
The thinking
user · pains · gap · tools
Adult beginners and improvers across Melbourne who think they started too late, parents wanting structured junior coaching, and offices after a social sport that everyone can actually play.
Target user
- Melbourne table tennis coaching skews elite and junior-competitive; adults feel unwelcome starting from zero
- Casual players plateau with no structured path
- Offices and schools want turnkey programmes, not equipment logistics
Pain points
A beginner-friendly, adult-first academy with multi-venue coverage (west, CBD and east), transparent session pricing and a corporate offering, in a scene that mostly serves squads.
Gap in the market
- Wix Bookings + site
- SEO + AIEO (own work, drives weekly inbound)
- Claude-powered admin automations (calendar sync, coach-hour tracking)
- Admin dashboard (own build)
AI + tooling
- Service design: a repeatable session that respects the customer’s time and money
- Customer journey mapping from first inquiry to weekly regular
- Deliberate-practice curriculum (progressive skill blocks, not free hitting)
- Community-led growth + word of mouth as the retention engine
- B2B partnership funnel for corporate and school programmes
- Automate-the-admin operating model (founder time goes to coaching, not spreadsheets)
Frameworks
- Profitable in year one
- Weekly organic inquiries from search
- Four venues inside 12 months
- TBD: member retention rate, sessions per week
