Break the Love started by partnering with nonprofits around New York City but has now entered into revenue partnerships with the United States Tennis Association and Wilson Sporting Goods. Spread across 10 cities in places such as New York and California, Break the Love hosts its own classes, is creating its own tennis tournaments, and has 5,000 active users.
Break the Love already offers classes for beginners and advanced players, and charges users a fee to attend classes and tournaments. Classes start as low as $39. The platform also trains athletes who, afterward, can serve as instructors for the classes. In New York, for example, the problem is typically where to find courts and where people can learn about tennis without spending too much money In places like Florida, however, it mainly comes down to finding people to play with, and places to learn the sport that are comfortable and inclusive for everybody.
