Specialized SFN AI Chat Bot
The SFN AI Chat Bot is an advanced digital assistant tailored to the needs of racquet sport facility operators, architects, and business developers. It offers immediate, personalized support on topics including facility management, business strategy, infrastructure planning, and operational optimization. Built with deep domain knowledge, the SFN AI is not just reactive—it’s designed to evolve into a strategic tool capable of analyzing full business plans, identifying structural weaknesses, and recommending targeted improvements. This ambitious capability aims to provide racquet facility professionals with automated consulting-level insights, helping them future-proof their concepts and maximize performance.
The SFN AI Chat Bot is currently in its learning and testing phase. A beta version will go live in July 2025. Until then, subscribers of the SFN Business Hub can submit their questions via email and receive expert support directly from the SFN team as the AI continues to evolve.
In-Depth Guides for Facility Operations
In the In-depth Guides section, the SFN delivers detailed, research-based publications that help facility operators improve performance, member satisfaction, and long-term sustainability. These guides offer structured recommendations rooted in practical experience and data, allowing operators to implement immediate improvements and develop strategic capabilities across operations, infrastructure, and community engagement.
For example, the SFN guide on Management Software for Racquet Sport Facilities outlines how modern software should integrate booking, CRM, competition tools, and community features. A detailed checklist helps operators select management software solutions that align seamlessly with their business strategy and operational goals.
Market Analysis Reports
In the market analyses section, the SFN publishes independent studies and data-driven reports on racquet sports, including squash, padel, and pickleball. These reports reflect the analytical depth and professional standards applied by top global consultancies, providing robust, actionable insights to guide strategic business decisions and future investments.
For example, the Global Squash Report 2024 highlights the squash industry's rapid expansion, projecting its market size to reach €6 billion by 2027. The report emphasizes growth opportunities in the USA, Poland, and China, driven by robust facility infrastructure and youth programs, alongside key challenges such as digital visibility and player retention.
Academic Publications
Explore relevant academic publications on sports, health, and training effectiveness – all in one place. This section offers a curated selection of peer-reviewed studies, highlighting evidence-based findings that support better facility planning, program development, and member engagement. Whether you're shaping youth programs, promoting physical activity, or improving athlete performance, these insights provide a solid scientific foundation for your decisions.
