Sport Court of Southern California Volleyball Club News 2016

In early 2015 Connor Sport Court was purchased by Gerflor, one of the largest manufacturers of commercial resilient flooring in the world. Part of their family of products includes Taraflex™, the courts you saw used in the Rio Olympics for volleyball and handball.  Taraflex™ is the most widely specified sports surface in the world and has been used in ten consecutive Olympic Games starting with Montreal in 1976 to London in 2012 for indoor surfaces like handball, volleyball, badminton and table tennis.  Although they are relatively new in the American sports flooring market this marriage with Connor Sport Court will boost that market penetration.  We are excited now to represent the three major manufacturers in the sports flooring world:  Connor Hardwood Flooring, Sport Court Modular PP, and Taraflex Vinyl.

Over the past year we assisted 4 clubs develop their new facilities, see attached photos:

1.    Laguna Beach Volleyball Club – Rancho Santa Margarita.  Michael Soylular expanded his club of many years to a new location expanding from 3 courts to 7 courts using our Response flooring.  We also teamed with LBVBC and set up one of our popular residential outdoor “Game Courts” and have an office/showroom there as well.

2.    Vertical Performance – Actyve VB – Santa Monica.  Lainey Gera opened up a Sport Court Response 2 court training facility on Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica.   We also have a Sport Court satellite office there as well.

3.    West Coast VB Club – El Segundo.  Aaron Wexler opened up a facility at the Hydroflex Business complex, a 1 court facility for the development of his club.

4.    San Gabriel Valley VB – Los Angeles. Kenji Mukai expanded his club from a 4 court facility next door to a new 7 court Sport Court Maple Select facility.

Congrats to these innovators in the Southern California volleyball community.

That’s why we say get off of your backside and get into the backyard!

Our challenge to bring fitness and wellness to our youth is no small task, but must be done. With obesity rates and mental health issues arising at younger ages our only way to combat both is to demand healthier lifestyles.

Having the “ultimate” backyard is only a dent in the benefits for having a backyard court. Many of our customers report back to us that “their house is the house that all the kids want to be at!”

Fitness & Fun: Healthy Lifestyles are Fun!

Setting a schedule and family routine is beneficial for running a smooth household. Bringing fitness and fun into a normal routine will teach children and adults the importance for a healthy lifestyle. Once a routine is made, especially for young children, it will set standards and have lasting effects!

Sport Court - 40 Year Anniversary

1974. Nixon reigns, Hank Aaron obliterates the most sacred of baseball records, and Cher divorces Sonny. Tumultuous times, indeed. We were busy ourselves in our little corner of the world, changing the way the families played together in their very own backyards. That was no small feat unto itself. Now here we are forty years later, offering indoor and outdoor surfacing for all sports!
