USA Taekwondo has announced two new partnerships aimed at improving its relationship with members and providing more sophisticated management technology.

The first of these is with Sport:80, which offers management technology and now replaces the long-serving Hang-a-star platform.

PerkSpot, USA Taekwondo's other new partner, will provide the TKD Kickbacks programme, which will offer all USA Taekwondo members discounts and special offers at hundreds of large brands and venues.

These include Adidas, Walt Disney World, DoorDash and Expedia.

USA Taekwondo aims to offer athletes, coaches, referees and officials deals - an intensive to both keep current members and recruit new ones.
