Serve up traction and bounce for high-performance play with Resene Sports Court Coating.
The increasing emphasis on health and wellness is tough to ignore, and as more of us look to reduce stress and improve our overall fitness through daily movement, the popularity of court-based recreational activities has skyrocketed. Racquet sports like tennis, badminton and pickleball, in particular, are seeing something of a renaissance as of late. Earlier this year, a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine which tracked more than 80,000 adults over the course of nine years compared the impact of different sporting activities on participants’ health – and the results have garnered a lot of attention. The authors of the study found that racquet sports had the most positive impacts on health and longevity, even more than vigorous intensity activities like cycling or swimming. Other court-based sports like basketball, netball and indoor cricket have been shown to positively influence health outcomes, too. Plus, court sports are fun and social, which offers further benefits for the mental and emotional wellbeing of those who play. Given all these perks, it’s no wonder the demand for indoor and outdoor court surfaces continues to grow.
Well-designed courts can provide year-round usability and optimal performance for players to partake in organised or casual games. Whether you or your client have a specific sport in mind or need multi-purpose functionality that offers flexibility, a bespoke court design allows for greater control over size, aesthetics and materials. With products like Resene Sports Court Coating, not only can you add traction and bounce properties to your court surface, the range of Resene colours on offer means that you can ensure the design aligns with the project’s overall landscaping or architectural style – making it not only practical but visually appealing as well.
Resene Sports Court Coating is available in a range of attractive colour options, including greens, blues, red, terracotta, orange and gold with fun names like Resene Champion, Resene Break Point and Resene MVP, but it can also be tinted to a wide range of other colours from white or ultra-deep tone. Combine multiple colours for court areas that complement or contrast one another. If you have something specific in mind to meet your project goals, contact your Resene Representative or Resene ColorShop to learn more about getting bespoke Resene Sports Court Coating colours tinted for you.

From indoor netball courts, basketball courts, cricket courts and soccer courts to outdoor pickleball courts, tennis courts and general leisure and kids’ play areas, Resene Sports Court Coating can be used on both new surfaces and to refurbish existing ones. It can even be used on general pathways, if desired, for a seamless finish from the court to carpark, court to class or court to café for venues that have integrated facilities.
After withstanding years of hard play, a properly constructed court can be easily renewed without costly removal, relaying or reconstruction work, bringing brand new life with a choice of new colours to existing courts. Concrete courts can be prepared by acid etching, water blasting and finishing, while repaints follow a simple system of a thorough clean down, rinsing, spot priming if required and topcoating.
As an all season surface system, the integral colour stays attractive and rich for years. Resene Sports Court Coating is based on a product that has achieved an ITF rating of slow, with an average surface pace of 25.6, making it ideal for tennis clubs and courts at resorts, schools and other similar venues. With the non-skid attractive finish helping with the footwork side of the game, players can cover the court in confidence.
