Take a Healthy Break from Finals!

Tired of studying five straight hours for one final, take a break playing your favorite sport on a Sport Court Game Court.

Playing sports has physical and mental health benefits. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters that can keep stress and depression away. In addition, exercise helps with weight management eliminating the risk of obesity.

Being stressed out will only make your health worse, which can jeopardize your ability to attend all of your final exams. Serious illnesses can result from stressing too much, such as eating disorders and depression. Similar to depression, panic attacks frequently have a stress-related connection. Those who stress have immune systems that are not functioning properly. Problems like blood clots, poor circulation, and even strokes.can occur due to high stress levels.

Even though studying is essential, an individual's health comes first. Playing your favorite sport will allow you to unwind, while having a blast with some of your friends. Taking a step back from all of your overwhelming finals and going onto the court will be the best decision you ever make!

Nutrition Facts for You and Your Future Champions

Remember these three keys of advice to give to your champion in the making.


1. “Athletes Eat And Train They Don't Exercise”: It takes a variety of vitamins for your athlete to have their best performance on the court. To prevent breaking and stress fractures consume enough calcium, it helps build up strong bones. Also iron assists by carrying oxygen to various body parts that need it. Eating foods that are enriched in protein and carbohydrates helps keep a balanced diet and gets you energized for. In particular, children that endure two or more hours of physical activity may need to consume more food to keep up with the increased energy demands. Serious health problems are caused by over exercising without eating the right foods.

2. “Health is 80% of What You Eat”: Nutrition is important for all kids growing up, and it’s especially important for children playing sports. Take the time out to schedule an appointment for both you and your child to see a nutritionist to begin a journey of a happier and healthier lifestyle. Buying fresh fruit instead of fruit juice takes out all the unhealthy grams of sugars. Present your child a plate with a variety of vegetables, including dark greens, beans, reds and oranges, and peas. Restrict refined grains, such as pastas, white bread, and rice. Limit saturated and trans fat. Encourage your child to eat and drink fat-free or low-fat dairy products. The more you eat healthy the better athlete you will become.

3. “ Every Day Is A Chance To Get Better”: Obtaining a healthy lifestyle and getting your body in shape takes time, so don't feel rushed or worried if you do not see results in a short amount of time. As long as you are dedicated in eating the right food you are on your way. Getting up every morning with the same passionate mindset towards your goal of achieving excellence is all you need. At Sport Court we provide you a court that empowers you to be a champion.

Get Your Young Ones In the Game!

Interested in getting your young ones started in basketball or other sports?

The United States Youth Soccer Association suggests short-sided games for younger ages to help increase their interest and the basics of the game. For our young athletes it is better for them to start with the fundamentals of basketball by playing small-sided basketball, which is a game otherwise known as 3×3 Basketball.

After the past 10 years of codifying the rules of 3x3 and innovating a unique platform to bring athletes together, it was recently announced that 8 men’s and 8 women’s teams will compete in 3×3 Basketball at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games. It is beneficial for younger athletes with much less congestion around the basket. Also kids get more time to execute the proper ball movement by receiving more passes.

In a game of 3x3 there are two teams of 3 players and 4 sideline players on each half court. That is twice as many kids than the traditional game of 5 on 5. More kids are able to play the game, which brings more incredible athletes to the court. Start your very own 3×3 Basketball Olympic team having a Sport Court Game Court out in your backyard.

Since the start, Sport Court has supported FIBA with the involvement in 3x3 Basketball. International approved for outdoor playing surfaces, Sport Court has supplied the highest quality of basketball courts for athletes of all skill sets and all ages. Since 1974, with over 150,000 Sport Court high-performance surfaces installed, athletes all across the globe have been provided with the best level of safety.

The best way for your youngster to start showcasing their Magic Johnson skills on the court is to install a Sport Court Game Court today!

Practice isn't just for the Athletes

Parents often find that time surpasses so fast that their little league player is on his way to the majors in no time. Practices are also essential for parents as it is time spent with their all-star between school and extracurricular activities.

Before your child steps into the classroom their learning begins all at home. Assist your child early on by practicing drills at home on a Sport Court Game Court. Your child has the highest level of protection playing on a court from Sport Court, with the safety features that are embedded. Sport Court surfaces offer a foundation, where there is a low percent chance of an injury occurring.

Parents enjoy practices because their son or daughter obtains essential life qualities. Dedication, discipline, accountability, and leadership skills are gained. By parents practicing with their son or daughter routinely shows how dedicated they are to them and their dreams. Also teaching their child the rules of the game, explains to their child the discipline challenges that are faced. Parents show their children that they are accountable for their own actions when they do not make the appropriate move they will not get the outcome they strive for. Playing a one-on-one game with their son or daughter leadership skills are gained, by their child taking control on the court.

When your child shows that they have what it takes to be a champion, it's because you helped them become a champion by practicing with them on a Sport Court Game Court.

Be a Supportive Sports Father on and off the Court

We want your son or daughter to succeed as much as you do, but with these helpful seven tips you will be the best supportive sports father.

1. Help Them Find Their True Passion: Let them play the sport they want to play. Do not sign up your son or daughter to play baseball when they do not want to. You must remember it’s about their dream. Even if they excel in a certain sport, let them branch out by trying a different sport the following season. No one is born a professional athlete, and if he/she is having trouble with their back swing in golf stand by them while they continue to improve.

2. Create A Plan Together: For your child to conquer their dream create a plan together with them. Keep updating their plan as they continue to grow up. Begin their plan with an age appropriate goal. For example, a five year-old thriving for a twenty point game is not an achievable goal. You do not want to overwork your child at a young age. Younger athletes should start off their plan learning the fundamentals of the sport.

3. Credit Coaches and Teachers: Show appreciation to your child's teachers and coaches. And don't forget to credit the incredible education system that brings your child the knowledge they build their legacy on. Every moment your child spends with their coach or teacher helps them be the dream player they want to become. When your son or daughter comes home and says, “Dad, Coach Williams said I did a fantastic job today!”, that smile on their face encourages them to not only be a better player, but to get an education.

4. Good Character: Learning how to be a good sport is crucial for young athletes. The type of person he or she is more important than anything. Even with a player that has a lot of talent, character over anything will matter in the end. When scouts are examining players they want a good person and player. Character is key in playing sports, and being a team player is what matters the most.

5. Focus On The Present: Have he or she live in the moment. Enjoy watching them grow and pursue their dream. Encourage them along the way, and be the one supporting them on the sidelines. Don't let the critics get them down, continue to be on their team throughout all the struggles they go through.

Start things off by taking a shot from anywhere on the court. The next player tries to make the same shot. If Player 2 makes the basket, then the next player must shoot from there. If Player 2 misses, they pick up an 'H', and the next player gets to take their shot from anywhere on the court. The goal is to contest your opponent with the most difficult selection of shots, forcing them to pick up letters with each miss. Players that spell "HORSE" lose the game.

3. Dribble Tag
Without double-dribbling or traveling, players must tag other players. Once a player has been 'tagged", they are out of the game. All players can have a basketball in the game or just the players who are "tagger". Play this game in a certain area in the court (for example: half-court) and the final remaining player is the winner.

4. Musical Basketball
If you enjoy musical chairs you will enjoy this game. Similar to musical chairs, but with basketballs. The balls are placed into a circle while players walk around it with music playing. When the music stops, all players must grab a ball and take a shot. When a player makes a successful swish, they sit. The last player standing is out and the game continues until there is one player left.

5. 60 Seconds
In 60 seconds, kids are challenge to score as many buzzer-beaters as they can. In the paint baskets are worth 1 point, outside the foul line are worth 2 points, and 3 pointers are of course worth 3 points. Learn to shoot like Stephen Curry in no time playing this game.

Going Green with Sport Court

Contribute to the environment while having a blast with an eco-friendly game court in your backyard!

Environmentally Friendly Options
Sport Court of Southern California offers concrete services, but also alternatives to concrete with our proprietary technology called SportBase. While concrete is a greatly affordable option, it is impervious meaning it does not allow liquids such as water to go through it. This helps contribute to erosion. There are pervious concrete options. But studies have shown that over time that debris within water flowing through the pervious concrete can create a build up and eventually stop the flow. By using SportBase, the subsurface allows you to "go green" by keeping the environment in mind.

Created from Recycled Materials
In addition to reducing an overwhelming amount of carbon, Sport Court game courts are made from 100% of recycled plastic. There is no use of toxic topcoats and no requirement of chemical cleaners is needed. Also, Sport Court's home basketball courts are produced in a facility that received a "zero waste" status from the SWCA Environmental Performance Group.


Drought Friendly
Our game courts are playable in weather up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. During the winter season, there are no runoff issues as our courts have a water drainage system installed in the surface.

Long Lasting
Due to the modular design, Sport Court game courts and the subsurface can be picked up and move with you. Our products are made to last for 15 years or more for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. The portability of our courts allows clients to take their courts with them if they move rather than building a whole new court. This help reduce overall carbon footprint of installation and cost.

Guarantees High-Performance
Game courts are engineered with Lateral Forgiveness technology, provided the best surface for athletes of any age. No worries about scrapes, red burns, concussions or other injuries with this high-quality shock absorption product. Our flooring not only keeps your head in the game but is made for champions.

Create an environment that is fun-filled making everlasting memories by installing a game court with Sport Court today!
