Boys and Girls Clubs Across the Country Play on Sport Court Surfaces

October 24, 2019 By Shannon Grizil

Boys and Girls Clubs across the country have selected Sport Court surfaces for their communities. The safe, economical and low maintenance surfaces allow Boys and Girls Clubs to focus on fulfilling their mission – to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens – instead of focusing on court upkeep.

Easy to maintain and cost effective, Sport Court surfaces allow Boys and Girls Clubs to keep costs low and fitness programs going without interruption. Surfaces can be installed in one day and require little attention once down. This means little additional costs and a long life-cycle full of community activities.

Along with being low maintenance, Sport Court game courts provide a safe surface for Boys and Girls Clubs. Sport Court’s engineers work to design high-performance game courts that increase the safety of the athletes playing on them. The surfaces reduce the likelihood of head injuries from impact and decrease shock on joints. These qualities ensure a surface designed for protection, reassuring a community center that their patrons are playing on a safe surface.

With these safety features in place, Boys and Girls Clubs can put their effort and attention into building fitness and recreation programs that align with their Club’s needs. These programs are created to develop fitness, a positive use of leisure time, reduction of stress, appreciation for the environment and social and interpersonal skills.

Sport Court believes in building the character traits targeted by the Boys and Girls Clubs fitness programs. We make our game courts easy to install and maintain so staff can focus on encouraging and cultivating youth who play on our surfaces.

Safe, cost effective and low maintenance surfaces have made Boys and Girls Clubs across the Unites States loyal Sport Court customers. With dozens of Boys and Girls Club installations to date Sport Court has had the ability to offer local youth and communities a safe place to gather, play and learn.

Choosing the Right Color and Design for Your Home Sport Court

June 12, 2019 By Shannon Grizil

Congratulations, you’ve made the exciting decision to install a home Sport Court! Now comes the fun part: choosing the colors and design for your court.

At SportProsUSA, we know that every family is unique and customizing your residential court can be an exciting process. We take great care in helping families find the right colors and design to fit their personal preferences.

If you want to go crazy with the design, you can! Your Sport Court can feature anything from your family’s name to your favorite team’s colors. There are many color choices and customization options. With all the choices, it can easily seem a little overwhelming. Here’s a simple guide to help you finalize your decision.

What’s Important to You?

First, you should decide if you want your outdoor court to stand out or blend in. You can match your court colors to your house, blend in to the background landscape, complement the neighborhood, or really go for that “WOW” factor.

Blending In

If color congruence is important to you, you can consider neutral or traditional basketball court tones so it doesn’t stand out too much.

If you want your outdoor court to be a visual extension of your home, consider colors that match the house’s trim or other backyard accessories. This will allow the court to blend in and be pleasing to look at.

Create a Court for Your Favorite Team

Sports team enthusiasm usually runs in the family — which is why many families design their courts with their favorite teams in mind. Are you die-hard Knicks fans? Create a home basketball court in blue and orange with the classic Knicks logo. More of a hockey fan? Design your backyard court around your favorite NHL team. It’s up to you!

SportProsUSA lets you bring the spirit of your favorite professional (or local) sports team to your own home — without having to travel farther than your backyard. It doesn’t matter what your family’s favorite team is; with SportProsUSA, you can design a home sport court with almost any team and/or colors in mind.

Customization

Take a detailed, 360-degree look around your backyard. Think of the ways you can bring the personalized details of your family into your court. Your one-of-a-kind family deserves a unique place to play.

If you plan on selling the house in the near future, you might forgo placing a team logo or family name on the court. If this home is your longtime abode and distinctiveness is important to your family, embellishing your court with something unique is a great idea.

There are over 20 stock colors to choose from, but the options don’t end there. We can match colors to almost anything (at an additional cost) so you can customize your court to achieve virtually any desired look.

Painted Lines for Different Sports

As you get down to the nitty gritty of your design, it’s important to consider the different sports you want to play on your court. If you are choosing a multi-sport court (with multiple lines for different sports), we suggest you alter the color of the lines for each sport. Therefore, the lines for each sport will be distinctive colors to differentiate. You can select lines to be painted in white, gray, yellow, or black.

Check Out the Court Builder™ Tool

Use our Court Builder™ to design your Sport Court and see how certain colors work together. Try out different combinations and save or share your favorites! Keep in mind that the size options on the Court Builder™ application are limited and may not reflect the actual size of your proposed court. It is meant as a guide to help you decide on court colors and features.

Beyond being a leader in providing families with a home basketball court of their own, Sport Court has been the official court for the both men and women’s NCAA Division I, II, and III volleyball championships for more than 20 years. We believe that playing on Sport Court will benefit the NCAA and its outstanding student-athletes.

Sport Court installed our patented Maple Select modular surface in Pennsylvania State University’s Rec Hall and will provide on-site oversight through the championships. Teams from Ohio State University, Long Beach State, Brigham Young University and University of California Los Angeles will compete in the NCAA Semifinals starting May 5, with hopes of advancing to the championship game on May 7.

We are the world’s largest court builder and guarantee each surface, even the smallest home basketball court, is built with the skill and care players and families deserve. Whether it’s providing the sports flooring for professional athletes, collegiate championships or your backyard, Sports Court is the leader in safe, durable sports surfaces.

Product Warranty Notice

April 18, 2016 By Shannon Grizil

We are reaching out to our valued customers who have purchased a Sport Court® gymnasium floor with our patented High-Gloss finish (Response HG™ flooring products including Maple Select™). This unique surface treatment features a durable, beautiful polyurethane top-coat designed to reduce maintenance time and cost and to make it easier to keep the floor clean. The High-Gloss finish is virtually identical to the top-coat on a quality hardwood floor, with similar benefits for traction, playability and athlete performance.

Sport Court® designed the High-Gloss finish with two distinct advantages in mind:

The factory-applied coating is extremely durable even with heavy activity, and should not wear through under normal use during the expected life of your floor.
However, if you should ever see indications of wear in the coating, a SportProsUSA specialist can return and apply an additional protective layer of polyurethane, renewing the finish and durability of your floor for many more years of use.

When Sport Court® launched this coated product more than 10 years ago, they had initially anticipated that a field re-coat might be necessary every 3-5 years. However, based on ongoing lab testing and monitoring of gym floors installed around the world, Sport Court® is confident that the High-Gloss coating will last for many years longer than initially expected. They have therefore removed field-recoating requirements from the warranty.

That said, we would ask that you assist us in evaluating any unexpected wear-and-tear on your gym floor, and please bring to our attention any concerns that may arise.

We appreciate our customers, and hope that you have been pleased with the performance of your gymnasium floor. Please contact us for any additional sport-flooring needs you may have. Thank you for your business and confidence in SportProsUSA™ and Sport Court®.
