Technology has the power to remove barriers to play. 🎾 That's why USTA Ventures has invested in Rec Technologies, an AI-powered platform modernizing how people discover, book and experience recreation in their communities. With nearly 40% of the 27.3 million Americans who play tennis doing so on public courts, this investment will help make court access, coaching and local play opportunities easier to find, advancing the USTA's vision of growing tennis to 35 million players by 2035. "A large portion of tennis play happens on public park courts, yet the process for finding and booking a court or a coach can often be a barrier for players. We see tremendous opportunity to enhance that experience." — Michael Hughes, USTA Senior Director, Digital and Business Strategy Read more ➡️ https://bit.ly/45bVu8D
