โPitch & Social @ btrax: Exploring New Ways to Play, Connect & Improve in the City
โEver wanted to play a sport but struggled to find someone at your level, with a similar playing style, or simply available at the same time?
Our team from Japan is exploring a new service designed to help recreational racket-sport players find the right people to play with, and the right environment to improve.
โJoin us at the btrax office for a casual pitch & social where they'll share the concept, hear perspectives from the SF community, and explore how people are finding ways to stay active, improve their skills, and build community through sports.
โ๐พ What to expect
โA short pitch from our Japan team
Hear about the service concept and the problem they're trying to solve for recreational racket-sport players.
โAn open conversation
Whether you're an avid tennis player, a casual pickleball player, someone who wants to get back into sports, or simply curious about the idea, we'd love to hear what you think.
