Sports Club Advisors is pleased to announce Capestany Racquet Sports has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with The United States Tennis Association (USTA) to integrate TennisDrills.tv as a cornerstone resource for the newly launched USTA Coaching initiative.
This partnership, facilitated by Sports Club Advisors, will provide all USTA Coaching members with complimentary access to the comprehensive digital training platform through the USTA Coaching website portal.

The strategic partnership was orchestrated by Sports Club Advisors, a premier boutique advisory firm specializing in mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships within the sports, fitness, and recreation sectors.

“We are incredibly excited to provide our coaching resources to USTA Coaching members, and we couldn’t have accomplished this without the exceptional expertise and guidance of Jim Bates and Sports Club Advisors,” said Jorge Capestany, Founder of Capestany Racquet Sports and creator of TennisDrills.tv. “Their deep understanding of the sports industry and intimate knowledge of the coaching community was instrumental in making this partnership a reality.”
