Last summer,
Sport Court won a project to install 30 multipurpose courts in Kabul,
Afghanistan through an American non-governmental organization. In
order to expedite the installation process, the courts were laid out and pre-painted
in a local warehouse. They were then dismantled, shipped from the Salt Lake
City factory to Karachi, Pakistan and finally driven
to their destination in Kabul.
In this photo the courts are laid in our warehouse where the game lines were pre-painted prior to
their journey to Kabul.

During a
whirlwind five days in Kabul, the Sport Court team was able to train the local
installation team and complete a full court at the Taimaskan Boys’ Orphanage and begin laying tiles at courts
at the Kabul Boy’s school and Kabul Olympic sports complex.
The boys at the
Taimaskan Boys’ Orphanage will have a safe and fun Sport Court courts to play
and exercise on for years to come! Shortly after installation, the boys were
eager to try out their new courts.

After only five days working
side-by-side with our Sport Court team, the local Afghan installation team was
completely self-sufficient. In the next months, they will continue to install
the remaining 27 courts at boys’ and girls’ schools and orphanages in 6
different provinces throughout the country.

Sport Court is grateful for the
chance to impact young lives in Afghanistan and provide them with a safe and
attractive courts to play on. Our teams’ hard work and the hard work of our

Sport Court is very proud of the legacy it is fostering in Kabul.
