Configure your Gymnasium Game Lines: Maximize Space and the Player Experience
As class sizes increase and facility space stays constant or is reduced, how can you utilize every playing space available? Within gymnasiums, the first thing we recommend is to maximize the game lines. A high-quality gym can make or break a child's educational experience. Additionally, a school that maximizes space gives more children equal opportunities to thrive.
Answer these 5 Key Questions to help Maximize Game Lines:
- What is the outcome of the space?
- Will the space be strictly used for competitions?
- Does it need to work for both Physical Education classes and competitions?
- Does it need to be used for concerts or plays?
- Is there a requirement for more than one area to accommodate multiple games/meets that may be held simultaneously?
Once the team understands how a sporting space will be utilized, we can begin designing for specific functionality.
Thinking Outside the Box
Sport Lines Configuration Options
Sports guidelines will dictate the depth of the perimeter for competition courts, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle when factoring in space for other sports and combined court use.
Do More with smart equipment
Portable Net Systems
CHOOSE YOUR NET
Net types make a huge difference, as it is determined partially by the space and purpose of use. For instance, if pickleball is not the primary sport on the court, portable pickleball nets are generally the way to go. We provide many types of nets, including rolling net systems, wall-mounted systems, and removable hoop-mounted net systems.
Also, to maximize indoor court functionality, consider a portable net system that can easily be stored when playing other sports.
Utilizing Ceiling Space
The indoor batting cage retracts to your ceiling within seconds via a turnkey or push button system, putting your cage out of sight / out of mind, and opening your sports facility for other activities.
Maximizing space within a gymnasium can be done through a bountiful of ways. By adjusting lines, line color, and accessories, you can create an equal opportunity for each sporting activity to thrive. Consider SportsWest Construction for your next educational gym.
