News from the Court

You have a sport-loving family. But, they love different sports. Daughter plays volleyball. One son lives for roller hockey. Another dreams of a career in the NBA. A backyard sport court can make all of them happy.

Grand Slam Courts can design a court that provides space for all their games on a surface designed to curb injuries.Listen to these Sport Court customers across the country talk about what their backyard Sport Courts have provided to their kids.[

The short answer? Safety!

In the "olden days," a backyard concrete or asphalt slab was the norm. Many of us have the scars to prove it!

Our goal is the safety of your children--and the adults that play with them. There is no outdoor sports surface that delivers a better combination of shock absorption (protection from injury), ball response, traction, and playability than our PowerGame™ outdoor modular court surface.

You could choose concrete. But why would you trust the safety of your children to a surface as unyielding as concrete?

Did you know that Sport Court surfaces are perfect for roller hockey?

The materials used in Sport Courts reduce the wear and tear on the body and on equipment caused by skating on asphalt and concrete. Our roller sports surface delivers ideal traction and shock absorption for hockey enthusiasts--whether playing indoors or out.

Our modular flooring handles the most aggressive turns, hockey stops, and slides, and offers a smooth, fast surface for hockey action and lots of fun. The surface’s tight seams handle high-torque slides and cuts, and the surface itself helps keep the ball or puck moving well.

There is a general agreement that sports offer a great opportunity to teach kids important lessons. Having a backyard court means that the classroom to teach your children is much closer. Here are 5 things we think every child should learn that are enhanced by having a home court.

1. The Benefits of Physical Exercise--After just a few weeks of outdoor play, even your kids are likely to realize that they are getting stronger, quicker, and healthier. If all they do is sit indoors in front of a screen, they can't experience that.

2. The Fun of Competition--The world is a competitive place. Letting young people learn how to deal with competitive situations, and with both winning and losing, while in their own backyard is a great way to help them develop a healthy attitude about competition.

3. The Importance of Teamwork--Playing basketball, volleyball or doubles tennis helps kids learn how to work with others toward a goal.

4. The Value of Hard Work--Kids often idolize sports celebrities, but do not have a good sense of the amount of hard work it takes to develop professional-level skills and physical strength. Giving them an arena to work on developing their skills and talents for a sport is a great way to help them experience what real dedication looks like.

5. The Impact of Parental Guidance--There is no better place for parents and kids to experience bonding time than on the court. Kids learn to trust their parents' judgement and guidance in an atmosphere that is enjoyable and fund for all. It is a great way to teach concepts like honesty, sportsmanship, and responsibility.

Make sure your children have an opportunity to learn these important lessons. Let Grand Slam Courts install a court in your backyard. Call for a quote and to set a time to visit one of our demo courts here.
