About PlaySight

PlaySight turned an ambitious vision into reality: making every court and field intelligent. Founded in 2010 in Israel, the company developed SmartCourt technology — integrated AI-powered camera and sensor systems installed permanently in sports venues that provide automated video recording, instant replay, live streaming, and real-time performance analytics without requiring any production crew or technical expertise.

A PlaySight SmartCourt installation typically includes multiple cameras positioned around the playing surface, connected to an edge computing device that processes video in real time. The system automatically detects game events (serves, shots, goals), generates highlights, tracks player movement, and streams everything live. Players can walk off the court and immediately review their performance on a mounted screen or through the PlaySight app.

The company found early adoption in tennis, where training academies installed SmartCourts to give players the same kind of video analysis that was previously available only at professional events. IMG Academy, one of the world's premier sports training facilities, became a showcase customer. PlaySight then expanded into basketball (NBA teams use their systems in practice facilities), soccer, volleyball, and other sports.

PlaySight's broader significance lies in the concept they pioneered: the intelligent venue. The idea that any playing surface can be transformed into a data-generating, content-producing, analytics-delivering environment — permanently, affordably, and autonomously — is powerful. While larger companies have entered this space, PlaySight was among the first to prove that the smart venue concept was commercially viable and that athletes at every level want access to the same video and analytics tools that professionals use.
