Backyard & Outdoor Sport Court® Game Courts — Built for Performance & Longevity
With a backyard Sport Court® Multi-Sport Game Court, you can give your kids a safe and entertaining space to play that they will appreciate no matter their age.
These days, its important to know where your kids are playing and Sport Court® has been providing safe and orthopedic multi-sport game courts for over four decades. We provide a variety of specialized playing surfaces and durable sports component systems. For a space starting as small as a quarter of the size of a tennis court, you will create special family bonding that will last you through grand kids. These are the same surfaces used in the NCAA, USTA, USA Pickleball, NBA, and US Soccer Foundation.
Why Choose a Sport Court® Game Court for Your Backyard
A backyard Sport Court® Game Court gives you the ultimate combination of durability, performance, safety, and low maintenance — far beyond what a typical painted asphalt or concrete slab can offer.
-
Modular tile surfacing engineered for outdoor play — UV-resistant, weather-proof, and built to last decades.
-
Versatile for multiple sports — basketball, pickleball, volleyball, futsal, training drills, and more.
-
Superior traction and shock absorption — reduces risk of slips, falls, and joint stress.
-
Customizable court size, layout & lines — from half-court basketball to regulation pickleball or full multi-sport setups.
-
Quick install & minimal maintenance — often playable within days and doesn’t crack or require frequent resurfacing.
You might want to consider adding our “see-through” ball containment fencing around 2, 3 or all sides of your court. We can always add a gate if you want full enclosure!
This is a removable multi-sport net pole. Attached is a net adjustment system, a mechanism that allows the net to move up and down easily, from tennis to badminton, as well as from women’s to men’s volleyball.
Choose from our 60” or 72” wide tempered-glass backboards. These are mounted on the Sport Court adjustable arm system ranging from 5’ to 10’ – this way everyone can SLAM DUNK!
Include a Rebounder System on your court to practice your tennis strokes, catch-and-shoot for basketball, or to kick a soccer ball against. It ties seamlessly into our fencing system and adds FUNction.
Almost all our courts include painted game lines for basketball. Choose from a high-school, college, or professional NBA lines to match your level of play!
To make this an official “Game Court”, we can add Pickleball, Paddle Tennis or Badminton Lines to your project. It’s time to challenge your friends to a match.
Shuffleboard lines can be included as an option on your court. While the kids play basketball, you and your friends can enjoy a competitive, low-impact game of shuffleboard. #winning

The Game Court Sports Foundation
Every quality Sport Court® Game Court begins with a properly engineered foundation. Your foundation influences long-term performance, structural integrity, ball response, drainage, and the overall lifespan of your court. We provide several professional foundation options to match your property, budget, and local building requirements.
Premium Concrete Slab Foundations (Recommended)
A reinforced concrete slab remains the best and most consistent foundation for a backyard Sport Court® Game Court. Concrete provides:
-
Exceptional durability & low maintenance
-
Consistent ball bounce when paired with the Sport Court® modular tile system
-
Long-term structural stability
-
Excellent surface flatness for game-line accuracy
This is our recommended option for most residential and commercial installations.
Post-Tension Concrete Foundations (Highest Performance Option)
For clients seeking the strongest, most crack-resistant slab possible, we offer post-tension concrete foundations — the same technology used in high-end athletic facilities and modern construction.
Post-tension slabs provide:
-
Superior crack resistance under expansive or unstable soils
-
Minimal long-term maintenance
-
Increased load-bearing capacity & slab integrity
-
Exceptional compatibility with Sport Court® modular tile surfacing
Post-tension is ideal for sloped lots, expansive soils, high-use courts, or clients who want the longest-lasting foundation available.
Alternative Foundation Options (When Concrete Isn’t Allowed)
Some counties and municipalities enforce impervious surface limits, restricting additional concrete on residential lots. In these situations, we can provide alternative sport-foundation solutions.
SportBase™ (Permeable Base System)
Sport Court® manufactures SportBase™, a permeable, interlocking base panel designed for use over a compacted aggregate rock subbase. Water drains through the system, helping limit additional impervious coverage and supporting installations where concrete is restricted.
While concrete or post-tension slabs remain the optimal foundation for performance and longevity, SportBase™ can serve as an effective solution when concrete is not permitted.
Choosing the Right Foundation for Your Sport Court® Game Court
The best foundation depends on:
-
Soil conditions
-
Impervious coverage restrictions
-
Desired longevity
-
Court size and intended sports
-
Budget and design preferences
During your site evaluation, we’ll determine the most suitable foundation and provide a detailed plan tailored to your property.

Game Court Pricing
Cost is determined by a variety of factors, the biggest being the site work preparation and the size of your court. Although other factors certainly play a role, they are less significant to the overall project cost. Our team members will go through each piece of your order to help meet your budget needs.
The Home Advantage
