Sport court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sport court is a particular brand name for multi-sport game courts. (Search wikipedia for "game court"). Also referred to as a "sports court" or "sports courts", these game courts, or gamecourts, typically incorporate basketball, paddle tennis, volleyball, and up to a dozen more sports and activities within the same playing area and are usually smaller than a regulation tennis or basketball court although the dimensions or size of the court are not set. Gamecourts have grown in popularity as families look for healthy recreational activities away from the television and computer.

Gamecourts are usually constructed using a rectangular cement or asphalt base with at least one basketball goal, center net posts and a net adjustment system to easily raise and lower the net from paddle tennis height to volleyball height. Lights, ball containment, hockey goals, shuffleboard markings, and practice components such as a rebounder are frequently incorporated into the design.
