Sport Court Faq
Size is a personal preference depending on the overall plan for your backyard. A court can be designed to meet your needs, particular sport, activity level, and budget. That being said, the #1 complaint we have received over the years has been “I wish I would have made my court bigger!”
The average backyard court takes about 3 days to prep (depending on size) and 1-3 days to install the surface, components, and complete the line painting..

We have factory trained staff who will handle all the court work. For preparation and base-work we use our staff or prequalified subcontractors who perform to our strict standards.

A full size court is 84′ x 50′ (line to line). College and professional is 94′ x 55′.

Multi-sport courts are usually 30′ x 46′ or larger.
A Sport Court surface is covered by a 15- year limited warranty but with proper care and maintenance courts can last upwards of 25 years.

All of Sport Court’s products are manufactured with safety and performance in mind. Sport Court’s patented surfacing products are custom engineered, backed by over 40 years of court building experience and outplay any other modular surface in the industry. They provide a safe, high-performance basketball surface that reduces shock, minimizes Injuries delivers excellent traction and ball response, and can be customized with team colors and logos.
The lines are painted on the court after the installation is complete. A proprietary primer is used with paint specifically designed to hold up to high traffic areas. Painted lines typically last for many years without needing any retouching.

Sport Court South Florida offers a wide variety of the highest quality components, accessories and equipment available on the market today. Depending on your family’s interests, you could include things like lighting for nighttime play, rebounders, a multi-game net system, and more. We can build a batting cage adjacent to your court, a putting green, in-ground trampoline, a bocce court, a shuffleboard court, add lines for Four Square, add artificial turf, or anything else customized to your family’s wants and needs.
Properties on a hill can cause some challenges. However, we work with landscape architects who have come up with beautiful and practical solutions. Containment netting is usually the best option to handle stray balls and keep everything within the court area.
Maintenance and care of your court is simple. A basic broom, leaf blower, or hose can be used to keep the top surface free of debris. Because water drains quickly through the open-grid design, your court is ready for play soon after cleaning or inclement weather. We recommend an annual inspection and professional cleaning. We offer easy maintenance plans for all of our customers. Contact us for more information.
Bottom line – the safety of your children and family. No other outdoor modular sports surface delivers a better combination of shock absorption, protection from injury, ball response, traction and playability than Sport Court’s PowerGame surface. While there are other modular surfaces available on the market, why take the risk when your family’s safety is on the line?
Almost any surface – whether grass, artificial turf, or even concrete & asphalt – can be slippery when wet. We don’t recommend active play on any wet surface. Sport Court’s open-grid design sheds water quickly, making it possible to return to action much sooner than with other surfaces, once the weather subsides.
In most communities, you may be required to get residential building permits before work on your backyard game court can begin.

Unlike wood and most synthetic floors, Sport Court’s modular systems are virtually unaffected by water. Whether in vapor form, emitting from concrete slabs or sub-surface, or even (in most circumstances) in case of flooding or submersion, Sport Court surfaces are designed and manufactured to stand the test of time (and water)! In fact, Sport Court modular surfacing has often been used to retrofit facilities whose floors were damaged by flooding.

Sport Court South Florida typically recommends a concrete pad made of 4” reinforced concrete. Concrete, when done to court specifications, offers the best long-term performance. Flat concrete brick pavers can be utilized as well. Asphalt has been used for many courts as a less expensive option for tennis courts, and occasionally (with special conditions) a compacted stone base may be used for half-court basketball or small multi-sport courts.

Authorized Sport Court dealers, contractors and/or factory trained installers. Sport Court South Florida’s courts are built to specifications provided by the company engineering department and construction team. Any lighting assembly hook-up would need to be done by a licensed electrician. Each family’s court is custom-designed with consideration to the following court building conditions and variables: climate, soil type, water runoff/table, slope, neighbor considerations, Home Owners Association Guidelines, City/County/Township requirements, setbacks, easements, or other considerations, underground or over ground utilities, septic systems, drain fields, landscape aesthetics, orientation, sun direction in relationship to court, safety, optimum use, activity level, interest, and budget.
No two backyards or courts are the same. Each family’s court is custom designed. How long it takes depends on the weather, access, terrain, permits and HOA approvals if applicable. Generally, an average project will take 4-6 weeks from the date the customer signs off on design (finalized plans) to a finished product. Once plans are finalized, material and components are ordered. Construction schedules are set once the material is delivered. Be sure to speak with your Court Builder to get an idea of timeline and expectations.
That they didn’t get it sooner and wished they made it bigger!
