When it comes to the difference between Sport Court™ and its competition, many areas must be discussed. A court is normally a big investment for families, businesses, or communities, so creating awareness on topics such as safety and quality is crucial.

A long history in one industry.
In 1974, Sport Court™ was the pioneer and first innovator of the polyethylene modular court tile. Although they've seen a few competitors pop up in recent years, Sport Court™ modular sports flooring continues to be the standard against which other surfaces try to measure themselves. Sport Court™ competitors make all kinds of claims about their products, but Sport Court™ backs up their performance claims with data and with independent research. Sport court celebrated it's 50th year of Sporting Excellence in 2024.

Engineered with you in mind.
Sport Court™ maintains a full staff of qualified engineers, who constantly test and improve their processes and products to ensure safety and reliability of their product. Unlike some competitors, Sport Court™ makes all their products in-house, right here in the USA. Salt Lake City, UT to be specific.
Ball Response
Ball response is one of the performance characteristics governed and measured in the DIN standards, which are the acknowledged metrics for basketball floors. DIN-certified basketball floors must deliver at least 90% ball response (as compared to a concrete surface) and Sport Court™ surfaces typically range between 93% to 100% ball response values.
No other Sports Surface can deliver a better combination of Shock Absorption, Ball Response and playability than Sport Court™ tile. Their "Patented Lateral Forgiveness" provides Safety for children and adults in reducing the risk of injury to ankles, knees, lower backs and shins. The Lateral Forgiveness of the tiles allow the tile to move along with the movement of the player reducing stress on muscles and joints.

These endorsements are earned through their performance and product quality. FIBA - International Basketball Federation has partnered with Sport Court™ since 1994.
