The Newest Trends for Sports Courts

In 2020, user experience is one of the most vital parts of any sports court facility. From the actual act of playing the game to the way your space looks, all of this can change the tone of your player’s experience.

Whether you’re going for the tried and true classic look or branching out to more modern court surfaces, your facility can incorporate this in more ways than merely the playing surface. Playability is essential; users will be dissatisfied if the court they’re playing on lacks traction or if it’s damaged. However, you can also incorporate your court surface into the rest of your facility.

One of the newest trends involving user experience is to add some beauty to your sports facility by incorporating the court’s hardwood or acrylic on the walls as decor! This can be an incredible way to liven up your space’s look while fully immersing your players and fans in the sport’s environment!

There is already an abundance of sports court surfaces that are sustainable and eco-friendly. However, a new trend in sports courts is to utilize the court surfaces from newly renovated facilities that would usually be disposed of. When your facility tears up the old court surface for a renovation, don’t throw it away!

Instead, ask what you can do with the old flooring. A popular trend in 2020 is to repurpose the floor for everything, from furniture to memorabilia! Not only does this make the most out of your old court, but it can even serve as a fundraiser for schools by connecting them with alumni and fans who would buy the sentimental memorabilia for collecting purposes. This way, your courts go on to continue making your players and fans happy instead of winding up in the dump!

Not to suggest that floor graphics on sports courts are a new thing. However, the latest trend involves improving on this idea. For too long, sports court graphics have been dull silhouettes or two-color images emblazoned on the court.

On the other hand, modern sports court graphics are fully-detailed, fully-customizable works of art! Facilities can take advantage of this enhancement by uniquely representing their teams or mascots with one-of-a-kind designs! This way, your sports court can look fabulous while making the entire experience fun for everyone!

With newer sports gaining more notoriety over recent years, such as the rise of pickleball, many facilities incorporate multi-sport courts so more members and players can enjoy the sport they want when they want.

By adding new, individually-colored lines on the existing court goalposts or net posts, you can turn a single-sport court into a multi-sport court!

Sports are something that everyone should have the right to enjoy! A remarkable new trend for 2020 has been to make these courts safer for people of all ages. Cushioned sports courts have been around for a while, but we’re seeing more and more of them being installed now than ever!

With a cushioned court, players can finish a game with less stress on their joints and muscles than traditional, hard court surfaces. This means that everyone, from competitive players to kids to seniors, can enjoy the game!

Trends for sports courts don’t change too often. However, we’ve seen some attractive, functional, and fun new trends this year! These trends include improving user experience, recycling sports courts, enhanced floor graphics, adding multi-sport courts, and increasing safety. So let’s keep up with the ever-evolving world of sports and jump on some of these new trends of 2020!
