The Vasco Group has added Schubert Tennis to its growing national platform, reinforcing its strategy to build a scaled, end-to-end sports surfacing services leader through targeted acquisitions and capability expansion.
Backed by Monogram Capital Partners with support from Halmos Capital Partners, Vasco’s acquisition of Schubert Tennis brings more than three decades of specialized tennis and multi-sport court expertise into the platform. The transaction extends Vasco’s geographic reach into Ohio and surrounding Midwest markets while adding clay court construction and resurfacing capabilities that were previously absent from the portfolio.
Schubert Tennis, headquartered in Cincinnati with operations across Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana, has built a long-standing reputation in asphalt, clay, and acrylic court construction, resurfacing, and maintenance, as well as pickleball and basketball court services. Founders Rusty Schubert and Jeff Parish will continue to lead the business, preserving the company’s customer-centric culture while leveraging Vasco’s broader operational resources.
For Monogram and Halmos, the deal underscores a broader platform-building thesis focused on founder-led businesses in fragmented, high-growth categories. Sports surfacing continues to benefit from sustained youth sports participation, the rapid rise of pickleball, and ongoing investment in municipal, school, and private athletic facilities. Despite these tailwinds, the sector remains highly fragmented—creating opportunity for disciplined consolidation.
From Vasco’s perspective, Schubert adds more than regional scale. Clay court resurfacing and maintenance introduce predictable, recurring revenue streams, while cross-training and shared labor, equipment, and warehousing are expected to improve operating efficiencies. The expanded service mix also positions Vasco to deepen relationships with clubs, schools, and recreational facilities by offering a broader range of court and field solutions under one platform.
Since being acquired by Monogram in January 2025, Vasco has moved quickly to establish itself as a national player in sports surfacing, spanning football fields, running tracks, tennis courts, and pickleball facilities. Leadership says the Schubert acquisition accelerates that momentum and signals continued interest in M&A that expands both technical capabilities and regional coverage.
As demand for high-quality athletic infrastructure grows and consolidation accelerates, Vasco is positioning itself as a comprehensive partner for elite athletic, municipal, and recreational facilities nationwide—combining local expertise with national scale.
