We first published this article in late 2023. Since that time, the growth of racquet sports has continued to accelerate and the questions we posed are more relevant than even a few months ago.

The 80K clubs worldwide (country clubs, racquet-specific clubs, and others) are all looking for ways to grow, keep their members satisfied, meeting their demands for courts, coaching, and community.

They're asking questions like:

• How do you build and renovate more cost-effectively and efficiently?
• How do you incorporate new sports into your footprint with minimum disruption and cost?
• What should your club store be selling to generate new revenue streams?
• What’s the role of technology in attracting new members and retaining existing ones?

You’ll find answers at RacquetX 2024. Some clubs that bought tix are bringing their entire management team so they won't miss out on any of the action.

Whether you’re a private country club or a public one catering for the masses, you’ll learn something new, shop for products and services, discover trends, and make amazing connections.

Sessions will cover topics like court-building, consumer and product trends, new technologies to manage court time and score-keeping, diversity in the industry, effective brand marketing, and much more.

On our nine courts, you'll be able to try-out new equipment.

Plus, you can interact with clubs from around the world and find out what's working for them and how they're facing challenges -- old and new.

Since 2020, tennis has seen a 33% rise in participation and in North America pickleball has
demonstrated itself as a leading light with the number of people playing growing by 59%
between 2020 and 2022.

Finally, a sport that has taken over Europe, the Middle East and Latin America is padel.
Padel is on a meteoric rise and is now widely accepted as the fastest-growing sport in the
world, earning its seat at the top table with over 25 million players.

As our CEO, Robyn Duda has said: “Creating RacquetX is an opportunity for all businesses to
‘think of the fan of the future’, and not just the current day."

Throughout the world, businesses and global brands are picking up on these exciting
opportunities with participation in racquet sports up 17.6 percent in 2021. Global brands
and exciting start-ups are collaborating and competing for dominance in this developing
industry.

And, given the important emergence of the club sector across different racquet sports, we’ll
be dedicating a special session at RacquetX on The growth of racket sports and the ways smart
clubs are capitalizing on it.

So, whether you’re a CEO of a Private Country Club or Director of a public park exploring
new sports facilities, RacquetX will be the perfect destination for you to learn, experience
and connect. You can register via the RacquetX website.
