Lifetime Activities

What Lifetime Activities does

Lifetime Activities is a multi-location recreational facility operator founded in 1993 and headquartered in Cupertino, California. The company runs six Bay Area venues across Cupertino, Pleasanton, San Francisco (Goldman Tennis Center), Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Walnut Creek, delivering tennis instruction, pickleball programming, youth and adult leagues, summer camps, tournaments, court rentals, and ancillary on-site pro-shop retail. Service tiers span beginner lessons through elite competition, anchored by the Eagle Fustar Tennis Academy and including inclusive programming such as R.A.D.D. for developmentally disabled participants.

The underlying operating stack combines physical court assets with a self-serve online reservation and registration system, plus third-party technology integrations: SwingVision video-based swing analysis at Sunnyvale and Walnut Creek, and Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) assessment in San Francisco. Product breadth extends beyond tennis to include pickleball, badminton, basketball, chess, and table tennis at select locations, as well as private event hosting. The competitive positioning emphasizes regional density and credentialed coaching talent, evidenced by RSPA Pro and Facility of the Year 2026, USTA Featured Facility of the Year 2023 (Goldman Tennis Center), and CEO Dana Gill's USTA Hall of Fame induction.

Revenue is generated through seven identifiable streams: recurring lesson and program fees, usage-based court reservations, subscription-style camp enrollments, hardware pro-shop sales, one-time private event bookings, tournament entry fees, and ball-machine rentals. The business is direct-to-consumer with no disclosed enterprise contracts; go-to-market operates through community events, tournaments, camps, referrals, and an online booking site. No revenue, funding, or pricing detail is publicly disclosed; the company remains privately held.
