A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Game Court in Minnesota
Home athletic courts have become more and more popular in Minnesota. With growing interest in games like basketball, pickleball, and others, it’s getting harder to find a court to play on. Instead, homeowners are choosing to build their own courts to ensure they always get the play time they want.
In addition, recreational facilities can benefit from athletic courts to bring in more players. From adding additional courts to expanding into multi-sport athletic courts, gyms, and other recreational facilities can provide the entertainment the local members want.
At C&C Courts, we pride ourselves on building game courts in Minnesota, and we want to show you that building a custom court is easy!
Types of Courts
The biggest challenge when building an athletic court in Minnesota is choosing which kind of court you want. With so many options, it’s important to choose the game court you’ll use the most and get the most enjoyment from.
Basketball Courts
Basketball courts are the most popular choice, as they allow families to enjoy the game all year long. C&C Courts makes it easy to design your own basketball court. In addition to basketball, there are many other games you can play on a basketball court, such as H-O-R-S-E and Around the World. You can choose from many basketball court accessories to completely outfit your court.
Tennis Courts
Tennis courts are another popular court choice, as many people play tennis either recreationally or competitively. Like basketball courts, there are other ways to use a tennis court to squeeze the most use out of it. Playing tennis with your family is a great way to get exercise during the summer months.
Multi-Purpose Courts
If you can’t choose between courts, consider a multi-purpose or multi-sport athletic court. These courts are designed so that you can convert them to different sports, including tennis, basketball, pickleball, and more! Multi-sport athletic courts are perfect for recreational facilities, allowing them to get the most bang for their buck.
Indoor or Outdoor
After you decide which court you want, you should consider whether you want an indoor or outdoor court. If you have the space or a garage, you can easily convert it into an indoor court, which offers many benefits. Since Minnesota experiences frigid winters, an indoor court is perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Outdoor courts are great, too, which are built with premium quality flooring to last through the winter with simple maintenance. If you have more space in your backyard or property, outdoor courts can be larger and have more accessories than indoor courts, which may have limited space.
Design and Customization
When you work with C&C Courts to design a custom athletic court, we easily include different options for court colors, logos, accessories, dimensions, and more. Our innovative Design a Court tool allows you to design and see a 3D rendering of your custom court. This gives you a good idea of what it will look like once finished.
