No 20 – Street Racket

Hello everyone,

On a previous #yellowfriday, we already told you about Street Racket – a great way to provide easy access to racket sports.

The award-winning movement concept from Switzerland transforms any surface into a tennis and sports court in no time at all. A few lines drawn or glued to the floor are enough to offer over 1,000 playing and learning opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

We were able to experience live how this works when founder Marcel Straub visited Gütersloh. Take a look inside:

No 12 – Our pilot project

Dear tennis friends.

Welcome to #yellowfriday! Today we would like to give you further insights into the tennis club of the future.

Our pilot project – the GTV in Gütersloh – has undergone some changes and innovations. As a result, the club has succeeded in taking the world of tennis to a new level and providing members and guests with new playing experiences. Three important aspects were involved:

  1. Modern tennis courts
    Our tennis courts are now equipped with the latest technology. From smart courts to LED lighting, they not only provide an immersive playing experience, but also allow players to monitor and improve their performance.
  2. Online reservations
    Part of the digitalization is our user-friendly online court reservation system, which allows for entirely convenient scheduling of play times.
  3. Environmental friendliness
    The tennis club of the future is not only responsible for players, but also for the environment. On and off the court, we rely on sustainable approaches and environmentally friendly materials to minimize our ecological footprint.

Find out what else plays a role in building the tennis club of the future in the video below. This is a recording of the hybrid congress on the tennis club of the future, where we answer questions. Take the time – maybe together on the board – and watch it:

​We look forward to shaping the future together with you.

The tennis club of the future should continue to be a place for sporting challenges, socializing and personal development.

If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your opinions are important to us as we embark on this exciting journey together.
