Wesley Chapel, FL — July 20, 2026 — The Professional Tennis Registry (PTR), the global leader in racquet sports coach education and certification, is proud to announce a new partnership with Diadem Sports, naming Diadem the Official Racquet, Bag, and String Partner of PTR. Together, PTR and Diadem will provide coaches with greater access to industry-leading equipment and exclusive member benefits.
“Strong partnerships help us better serve our members,” said Lynne Rolley, CEO of PTR. “Diadem is an innovative and rapidly growing brand in our industry, and we’re excited to work together to provide coaches with exceptional equipment, exclusive member benefits, and new opportunities throughout the partnership.”
As part of the partnership, PTR members will receive exclusive access to Diadem’s Pro Preferred pricing program, offering significant savings on racquets, bags, shoes, and other equipment. A wide range of Diadem products, including racquets and demo equipment, will also be available at PTR Headquarters at Saddlebrook Resort, where members visiting for workshops, certifications, conferences, and other events can experience the equipment firsthand on both hard and clay courts. Qualified PTR-certified professionals will also be eligible to apply for the Team Diadem Advocacy Program, which provides Diadem equipment packages and the chance to serve as brand ambassadors.
“PTR coaches are the backbone of tennis growth. They’re on the court every morning before most people are awake and stay long after everyone else has left. They deserve equipment that matches their level of commitment,” said Evan Specht, Diadem’s Director of Operations. “We built Diadem for exactly these people—players, coaches, and parents who know the game inside and out. This partnership is personal for us. The PTR partnership represents what Diadem has always stood for: premium performance gear that doesn’t price out the very people who keep this sport alive. We’re proud to support the coaches and communities who keep our sport thriving.”
By combining PTR’s world-class coach education with Diadem’s innovative equipment and commitment to the coaching community, the partnership represents a shared investment in the future of tennis coaching and the continued growth of the sport.
