AI that reads the game
PadelIQ turns ordinary match video into performance data for every player. It finds all four players, follows each one through the match, maps every step onto the real court, and reports distance, speed, court coverage and work rate in real units.
Every step, in metres
A padel scoreboard tells you who won. It says nothing about who ran further, who held a steady pace, and who covered the court. PadelIQ measures all of it from the video you already record, and an AI coach reads those numbers every few seconds to give short, practical tips.
From match video to coaching tips
Record
A standard match video from one fixed camera behind the court.
Calibrate once
Mark the four court corners. PadelIQ maps the camera view onto the real 10 m by 20 m court, so every result is in metres, not pixels.
Detect and track
A detector finds the players in every frame and a tracker keeps each identity steady. The four players are locked in as P1 to P4 by court side, and reflections in the glass walls are filtered out.
Measure
Movement is turned into per player metrics, frame by frame.
Coach
Every five seconds a summary of the metrics goes to a language model, which returns three short coaching tips shown on screen.
What PadelIQ produces

|---|---|---|
| Distance covered | Total ground covered on court | metres |
| Average speed | Average movement speed across the match | m/s |
| Top speed | Fastest movement recorded | m/s |
| Active time | Time spent moving versus standing, and the work rate that gives | seconds and % |
| Court coverage | Share of a 240 zone court grid the player has reached | % |
| Movement stability | How steady the player's pace is, 0 to 100 | score |

The Riyadh Padel Federation runs on it
PadelIQ began as a structured community league, built so players could form teams, record real results, and compete through transparent rankings and seasonal tournaments including the RPF Grand Slam.
Team based
Pair up with a partner, form an official team and compete under one name.
Results from the court
Record match results in seconds, with no spreadsheets and no manual tallying.
Live leaderboards
Standings update on every logged match, so rankings always reflect real form.
Invite only
Onboarding by invite code, which keeps the league trusted and the rankings clean.
Common questions
How do I join the league?
Get an invite code from an existing member or an admin, then create your account on the platform. Once registered, you can pair with a partner and form your team.
What do I need to analyse a match?
A recorded match video from one fixed camera behind the court, and a one-off calibration where you mark the four court corners. PadelIQ works on recorded video rather than a live club camera stream.
How are the numbers measured?
The four court corners are mapped onto the real 10 m by 20 m court, so every distance is in metres and every speed in metres per second rather than in pixels.
How are rankings calculated?
Rankings are based on real recorded match results. Every match you log updates your team and player points, so the leaderboard always reflects current competitive standing.
