Stratford Padel Club welcomes AI to annual Hackathon
The Lawn Tennis Association's (LTA's) digital transformation partner, Deloitte, recently took over the Stratford Padel Club in London to create a unique padel experience, using the power of AI.
The Hackathon – open to 16-25 year-olds from local organisations, colleges, universities, etc – brings together technology and sport to show how AI can be used to break down barriers and help more people try padel.
According to the LTA, generative AI is changing the way we work and interact in daily life and sport is no different.
"The use of technology in padel – and wider sports – opens a whole new range of possibilities for making it more inclusive for people from all backgrounds.That’s why the Deloitte team have been working on a range of innovative AI tools and experiences that align with our vision to open tennis and padel up to everyone in Great Britain."
As part of the experience, players took advantage of three unique pieces of AI technology, designed to make getting on court even more fun and exciting – including an AI Instructor, LED targets and creating a player persona.
