Analysis · AASP · Trade & Services
A multi-year commercial agreement with USTA Coaching—the coaching arm of the U.S. Tennis Association—gives Agassi Sports Entertainment access to proprietary content, methodologies, and the American Development Model to train its AI-powered mobile coaching app. In return, ASE will provide complimentary subscriptions to USTA's 'Pro' and 'Pro Plus' coaches, discounted subscriptions for USTA members, and a revenue share on subscriptions originating from the USTA channel. The partnership also includes promotional support from USTA and speaking engagements by tennis icons Andre Agassi and Darren Cahill at USTA events. This collaboration validates ASE's technology strategy and provides a direct distribution channel into the USTA's extensive coaching and membership base, potentially accelerating user adoption when the app launches. However, financial terms—including the revenue share percentage and the cap on complimentary subscriptions—are redacted, limiting visibility into the deal's economics. The agreement comes amid ASE's ongoing financial challenges, including a going concern warning and recent dilutive financings, making this partnership a critical lifeline for credibility and future revenue generation.
