Game court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gamecourt is the generic name for a multi-sport gamecourt more commonly referred to as a Sport Court or a Sports Court. Gamecourts, or game-courts, 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. Popular since the 1970's Gamecourts are growing in popularity as families look for healthy recreational activities away from the television and computer. Gamecourts are usually constructed using a rectangular cement slab 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.
