The CourtBrain team recently traveled to Florida to attend RacquetX, one of the world’s largest events dedicated to racket sports. Held at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, the event brought together a global mix of clubs, players, federations, tech companies, coaches, students, investors, and industry professionals. All united by one thing: a shared passion for racket sports.
What is RacquetX?
From padel and pickleball to tennis, squash, and even the emerging sport Typti, RacquetX showcased the full spectrum of the racket sports ecosystem. It was a unique opportunity to see how the industry is evolving across different regions, disciplines, and levels of play.
Over several inspiring days, presentations flowed seamlessly into panel discussions, while exhibition matches featuring professional players added energy and excitement to the event. At the same time, booking systems and tournament platforms demonstrated their latest innovations, and entrepreneurs shared their journeys, lessons learned, and visions for the future of the sport.
Beyond the convention center, we also had the chance to visit some of the most impressive facilities in the area. This included The Fort, one of the world’s largest pickleball clubs, as well as several leading padel clubs in Miami such as Reserve Padel and Open Padel Club by Lasaigues. These visits provided valuable insight into how clubs are building communities and creating experiences around racket sports.
What stood out the most during our time at RacquetX was the people. Being able to connect with so many passionate individuals from all corners of the world reinforced something we strongly believe at CourtBrain.
Racket sports are here to stay.
While individual sports may rise and fall in popularity over time, the essence of racket sports remains constant. As long as people continue to seek competition, connection, and movement, there will always be someone, somewhere, holding a racket.
For us at CourtBrain, it was an incredibly valuable experience and a reminder of why we do what we do: helping players discover and access the world of racket sports more easily.
