Springthorpe Country Club Tennis Court Upgrade

The Springthorpe Country Club underwent a major upgrade by integrating line markings for several sports onto a single surface – a clever way to maximise usage.

Maximising court usage and versatility was crucial for the Springthorpe Country Club. The most effective way to achieve this was by integrating line markings for basketball, netball, pickleball and cricket on what was originally just a tennis court.

By having a multi-sport court, members can enjoy a functional, visually clear and adaptable space for a range of activities. The experienced teat at Ultra Courts have designed and constructed sports courts across Victoria. Careful planning and design are essential to ensure a fully functional space, and Ultra Courts will take you through it

Strategic Colour Coding

The first step is to implement a colour coding system for line markings. With a distinct colour assigned to each sport – for instance, white for tennis, blue for basketball, yellow for netball, red for pickleball – players can identify boundaries and key zones for each sport with ease. This enables smooth transitions between games, with no confusion.

Follow Official Sport Dimensions

Each sport has its own official dimensions and requirements and accuracy is essential. Netball and basketball courts are similar in size, but their markings differ in placement and shape. Pickleball has a smaller court size, so it fits within the boundaries of a tennis or basketball court. Meanwhile, cricket requires a rectangular pitch area and that was marked with dashed lines, making it unobtrusive.

Robust Materials

Professionals like Ultra Courts ensure compliance with each sport’s regulations and can advise you on the best layout. Furthermore, utilising only durable, non-slip paint ensures longevity and safety on the court.
