Gyms come in all shapes and sizes.   A variety of factors should be considered when laying out the space.  The primary sports to be played in the gym will usually dictate much of the gym design.  However,  this doesn’t mean that courts must be regulation size.  For instance, we frequently make basketball courts slightly smaller than regulation.  This is often done to free up space for team benches or bleachers.

Game lines for secondary courts will often fit within the space allotted for the primary sport. For instance, 3 pickleball courts will comfortably fit within the space of a single basketball court. Or, extra basketball goals can be added along the side of a court. This allows more players to work on shooting drills at the same time.

In the commercial gym market, an empty gym means less revenue.  Cash flow can be increased when the gym design includes multiple sports. For instance, most volleyball gyms are empty during the day while players are at school.  Adding pickleball lines and net to a volleyball court may bring in older players during these daytime hours.  A basketball court could appeal to a senior league during daytime hours.  And, by adding divider curtains, court space could be used for yoga or Pilates classes during quieter times.

Gym design will impact the type of basketball goals that can be used.  When the goals are within 12’ of a wall, then a wall mount goal becomes a great option.  But, when goals are not near walls, then the choices are limited to ceiling mount, ground mount, or portable.  All of these have benefits and draw backs.  For instance, portable systems might be the best for a temporary situation.  However, the large heavy base on portable goals take up valuable floor space.  These often limit access around the court.  And, portable goals do damage gym floors.  When laying out a gym, we’ll recommend the best basketball goal for the space.

The design of the gym and how it will be used will determine which volleyball system is the best choice.  Competition volleyball systems are limited to volleyball.  Recreational systems typically have multi-sport capability due to more net height options.  So, if your gym is hosting pickleball during the day and volleyball after school, then you need a net system to accommodate both sports.

Gyms that host tournaments will need additional space for spectators and concessions.  These gyms may also need space where players can relax between games.  The gym design should be tailored to how the space is being used and who is using it.  Some gym owners tend to forget that for every player on the court, there are likely 1 or 2 others off the court.  When laying out a tournament gym, we consider not only the players, but everyone else too.

South Texas Sport Court is a court flooring contractor. We do not provide architectural services.  However, we are happy to work with your architect or designer to properly lay out the space.  Our goal in this process is to make sure that the court space is maximized and nothing is overlooked.

All of our design work is done in AutoCAD with some editing in PhotoShop.  By using these industry-standard tools, we are able to use your existing architectural files to make recommended modifications.  We can share these files with your designer in a format that they can open.  Of course, we also provide a PDF for your review.
