About The Courts.

Copy-paste-ready company description for articles, press releases, and event programs.

The Courts is the first vertical, map-first marketplace for tennis. It puts every tennis court in America — public parks, racquet clubs, and private home courts — on a single app, with four booking modes that mirror how courts actually operate today. Founded in 2026, headquartered in California, The Courts is launching publicly in the Bay Area, San Diego, and Los Angeles in fall 2026.
