Now that school’s out, you might be thinking of different ways to keep your kids busy, and sometimes that’s not an easy task. Whether your children are glued to the cartoons, your teens can’t put down the video games or your college kids spend way too much time binge watching their favourite shows, you’ll be able to get them staying active and enjoying the outdoors when you install a sports surfacing system in your backyard. Not only is it great exercise for them, but it also will give the entire family the chance to build both athletic skills and healthier bodies.

Having a basketball court or other court system in your very own backyard gives you peace of mind knowing exactly where they are. It also means that you have control over which friends or teammates they play with and during what hours. No more wondering where they are or if they’re going to get into a fight with some guys during a pickup game at the park or gym.

It doesn’t matter if your kids are just playing for fun or putting in extra practicing time for an upcoming game. You’ll notice strong bonds between friends and family when practicing dribbling, shooting, serving or spiking. They’ll also develop important personal and social skills on the court that will carry into their everyday lives. In addition to improving their sports skills, they’ll learn about things like teamwork, fair play, good attitudes, competition and commitment.
