Court Options

Court Colors

A variety of standard court colors and combinations are available in acrylic coatings for surfacing hard courts. Colors can also be custom ordered. If you look at the colors for the City of Bay Minette, AL, you will see colors that were matched to a baseball cap with the High School logo, in orange and black. The result was fabulous! If you click on the link to the Latex-ite website, you can “create your own court” to see what each of our standard colors looks like in various combinations on the court.

Also, take a look through our court color picture gallery for many different options that American Tennis has installed.

Premier Court

Premier Court is a cushioned mat that is installed over 100% of a hard court surface. Premier Court has a cushioned feel thereby making it more “physically friendly”. Standard acrylic surfacing is applied over the Premier Court. Premier Court has a 25 year warranty and resurfacing must be completed at least every 5 years to maintain the warranty. Please see examples in our Premier Court portfolio.  You can also click to see the steps to installing a Premier Court.

Cushion

A hard court can have a more cushioned feel, thereby making it easier on the body, by applying an acrylic cushion system to the court. The color options are the same as surfacing a regular hard court. The cushion is simply added to the coatings that are applied. Cushion can be added in a new application or upon resurfacing of the court.

Fencing

Traditional Tennis Court fencing is generally one of two options

  • Chain link or
  • Wooden with windscreen

Chain link can be galvanized which is a silver finish or can be a variety of colors with a powder coated finish. Usual colors include green, black and brown but custom colors are available.  Click to view our chain link colors photo gallery.

Wooden fences tend to be stained black or treated with a more natural tone. The windscreen that is attached is usually black or green which comes in a variety of visibility choices. These can be viewed in the catalog/windscreen area of the website.  Click to view our wooden fence photo gallery.

A custom logo can be applied to the windscreen whether applied to the wooden fence system or if the windscreen is attached to a chain link system.

You can click to see the different layouts including angled or rounded corners, as well as dropping the height on the sides of the court.

10 and Under Tennis

10 and Under Tennis using the QuickStart Tennis play format takes a new and better approach to introducing kids to the game. Balls are lower in compression; they bounce lower and don't move as fast so they are easier to hit. This allows kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. Racquets are sized for small hands, and the courts are smaller and easier to cover. All of the above equals more fun and less frustration for the player. Full sized courts can be reconfigured to accommodate up to six 36-foot courts, so instead of waiting in line, kids can spend their time playing.

Lighting

Proper, environmental lighting provides for plenty of light on the court surface of the tennis court and offers a sharp cutoff outdoor sport lighting products that limits environmental impact by reducing glare, light spillage, and sky glow.

Indoor Courts

Indoor Court Facilities provide a comfortable setting for play during extreme weather conditions in both hot and cold weather. Covered, rather than totally enclosed facilities, are sometimes preferred in more mild climates to reduce operational costs.  A great example of an indoor court is the George C. Meyer Tennis Center.

Shady Courts

A Shady Court is a prefabricated awning which hangs on a 10' fence system, usually over a bench, to provide a cool spot during a hot, sunny day.  See some Shady Court examples.
