Racquet Sports

Roundtables for

The racquet sports industry is exploding – Padel and pickleball are gaining enormous market and mind share — 24.3M Americans played pickleball in 2025 with 172% growth over three years, padel courts are up 250% since 2022 — tennis remains the global core of the industry, with nearly 27 million U.S. players and over 120 million worldwide, and today more than 75% of facilities offer multiple racquet sports, forcing every club leader to figure out how tennis, padel, pickleball, and other racquet sports coexist under one roof.

That shift is pushing fast decisions on revenue growth, programming, membership, capital, staffing, and new competition with no established playbook to lean on.

REX is launching Roundtables for Racquet Sports because REX’s 36-year peer-roundtable model (350+ members, 90%+ retention, member clubs already posting 72% EBITDA growth and 217% dues growth from adding these new segments) is exactly the kind of confidential, non-competing peer group that can turn this multi-sport transformation into a repeatable advantage instead of a scramble — giving tennis, padel, pickleball, and racquet sports leaders a table of true peers to alleviate todays challenges and turn them into advantages. together, with real solutions and real action.

REX Members Outperform the Competition

These aren’t outliers. REX Roundtable members consistently outperform the industry year over year — not only because they’re exceptional individuals, but because they operate inside a system designed to sharpen strategy, demand accountability, and share what actually works.

The outcome is higher retention rates, stronger leadership, and a significant edge over competitors.
