COURT by RacquetXclubs

The Racquet Sports Capital Summit

The Only Room
Where the Capital Meets the Court.

There is no event like this. Sports investment conferences are too broad. Racquet-specific events are operator-facing, not capital-facing. COURT exists in the gap: a room designed specifically for the people writing checks, building infrastructure, and acquiring assets in pickleball, padel, and tennis.

Held during US Open week in New York, ideally on-site at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, with delegate match-day access woven into the day.

This is not a conference. This is an exclusive forum.

What Makes This Special – The $100B Opportunity
Nobody Has Organized.

• COURT is the institutional forum for capital allocation, M&A strategy, and growth infrastructure across racquet sports, convened once a year during the most concentrated week of decision-makers in global sport.

• Racquet sports are in a structural growth moment. Capital is arriving – but the players don’t have a room to convene.

• Padel is expanding across Europe, LATAM, and the Middle East at a pace not seen in sport in a generation.

• Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States.

• Tennis is undergoing institutional repositioning with a strong global base and premium audience. 

• Racquet sports M&A and infrastructure deal volume has tripled in the last 36 months, with no dedicated convening platform.
