PlayReplay electronic line calling brings precision, innovation to Edmond Center Court
A growing number of tennis facilities are turning to technology to enhance match play and player development. Add Edmond Center Court to that list, as the USTA Premier Facility in central Oklahoma has installed an electronic line-calling system.
After more than a year of research into companies that offered the technology, Edmond Center Court leadership decided to adopt the PlayReplay system as part of a broader commitment to innovation. The decision was driven by a belief that electronic line calling represents the future of tennis.
“We are always committed to staying at the forefront of innovation by embracing cutting-edge technology that enhances the experience for our customers and keeps our facility aligned with the latest advancements in the sport,” said David Minihan, Edmond Center Court general manager and USTA Oklahoma executive director. “I believe this new technology will change the game of tennis, especially as it becomes more affordable to the mass.”
Smart-Court Technology
The PlayReplay system relies on a network of four cameras mounted to net posts on each court and connected to a courtside monitor, which allows players to review points. When a line call is disputed, players can immediately access a replay that isolates the ball and court, providing a clear in or out ruling.
Using camera-based tracking and artificial intelligence, the system delivers accurate line calls and detailed insights, combining officiating technology with performance data to minimize disputes while helping players refine their game. The system has been installed on all six indoor courts at the facility.
Edmond Center Court was one of the first facilities in the USTA Missouri Valley to implement electronic line calling. Michael D. Case Tennis Center at the University of Tulsa likewise has electronic line calling on six indoor courts and six outdoor courts. Overland Park Racquet Club, with PlayReplay on all 14 indoor courts, is the other facility in the USTA Missouri Valley to feature the technology.
Edmond Center Court, a USTA Premier Facility in central Oklahoma, has implemented the PlayReplay electronic line-calling system on all six of its indoor tennis courts.
The system runs continuously during matches once activated at the start, though players only interact with it when a call is challenged. Developers are working on an enhancement that would audibly announce line calls after every point.
Minihan said installation required minimal infrastructure changes. The facility needed only reliable Wi-Fi access and nearby electrical outlets to power the equipment. All six courts were outfitted within one to two days.
The initial rollout was supported by the USTA Missouri Valley, which selected the facility as a pilot location and covered the first year of costs. After that, the system costs approximately $3,200 per court annually. Additional funding opportunities, including national grants, can help offset expenses.
Beyond the annual fee, ongoing maintenance and software updates are handled remotely by PlayReplay, eliminating additional costs and reducing operational burden. If issues arise, the company can troubleshoot remotely or guide staff through quick fixes.
Player-Enhancing Experience
The replay visuals are comparable to the Hawk-Eye technology used on professional tours, though access is limited to players via the courtside monitor. Spectators do not currently view the replays.
The value of the investment became clear as positive feedback continues to roll in. Both players and teaching staff have praised the system for improving fairness and reducing disputes during matches.
“I was sold once we started receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers and our staff,” Minihan said.
Beyond line calling, the system offers a suite of advanced features designed to elevate training and performance. Players and coaches can set up interactive drills, track match statistics and measure serve speed. The system also offers livestreaming and provides analytics on shot placement, ball trajectory and overall performance trends.
As technology continues to shape sports, systems like PlayReplay are positioning facilities at the forefront of a more precise and data-driven era in tennis.
