Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, children of all ages actually went outside to play. Today video games the Internet, and television have become accepted substitutes for actual activity, resulting in a generation whose lifestyles are more sedentary than ever. Not surprisingly, this same generation of children is heaver and unhealthier than previous generations. At Game Courts of Michigan, an authorized Flex Court dealer, we believe that if your children won’t get off the couch and onto the courts of play, then it’s time to bring the courts home to them.
Choose the sport and odds are we have just the court you’re looking for. From backyard basketball courts and tennis courts to roller hockey, badminton, and gym flooring, Game Courts brings an active lifestyle for the entire family to the comfort of your own backyard. And with recent studies indicating that some 15% of children and teens are considered overweight and with another 15% at risk of being so, the convenience we bring to the pursuit of exercise has come not a moment too soon. Our durable and stylish sports flooring makes a great addition to any backyard, as well as a wonderful incentive for kids to get off the couch and back into the game of life.
Making the leap from the couch to the court can be a bit of a shock to the system, but our specially designed courts made from built-in Flexion can help cushion the impact and make the transition from sedentary child to active child a smooth one. Our surfaces were designed specifically to reduce stress and fatigue and to absorb impact, preventing injuries and soreness and encouraging your child to stay active as he or she begins to see results. What a great way to nurture a love of sports and physical activity within your child; one that can last a lifetime.
Life habits are established at a very early age, and that includes the exercise habits we carry with us for a lifetime. What better way to promote exercise as a way of life than to make it fun and most of all convenient at such a formative time of life? Help your child begin the process of leaving the remote controls and joysticks in the dust. Most of all, promote family fun in a truly unique and inviting environment. You might just re-discover your game there too, and once you do it will always be close by!
The average backyard comes equipped with many of the same things… namely a patio, grass, a few plants, and a pool if it’s feeling especially extravagant. But a backyard with a game court? Now that’s a yard of an entirely different sort. Game Courts of Michigan, an authorized Flex Court Dealer, invites you to make your backyard a gathering place for friends and family and a conversation piece for all with one of our versatile and durable sports surfaces. From basketball courts and tennis courts to roller hockey, badminton, gym flooring and more, we can install a permanent source of family fun that will have the added benefit of enhancing the value of your home.
The installation of one of our custom designed sports surfaces means that road trips to the local park or gym are instantly a thing of the past. Moving forward, the farthest commute you’ll experience in search of the games you love will be the one from couch to backyard. And once you get there you’ll experience the game on a unique surface made from built-in flexion and built to reduce stress and fatigue and prevent injuries. It’s a long way from the pounding you can expect from normal concrete pick-up courts, and with the increased traction you’ll also experience you can expect increased performance no matter which sport you pursue.
Game Courts of Michigan sports surfaces offer an intrinsic value that goes beyond amazing access to the games you love. Consider for a moment not only the unique aesthetic one will add to your home and backyard but also the added value it’s certain to bring. It’s safe to say that very few homes in your neighborhood or any other will be able to boast of such a unique and versatile basement area, and that means value no matter how you look at it. In this regard a sports surface from Game Courts is truly an investment, one that grows in equity both in terms of the quality of your family time and the value of your home moving forward.
Is your backyard suffering from the average blues? You can add a few more plants or sprinkle a little fertilizer to make the grass greener, but to truly shake things up it takes a bold step indeed. Sports flooring from Game Courts of Michigan provides a golden opportunity to make a statement that is certain to receive rave reviews from friends and family alike. Make the games you love a permanent part of the family and a centerpiece of your home.
Once upon a time the definitive backyard toy and centerpiece of family fun was the swimming pool. Summer days spent swimming and splashing around gave kids of all ages a place to stay cool and have fun with friends and family. While the pool still has its place, backyards everywhere are upgrading their game to include a multitude of games courtesy of our backyard game courts. At Outdoor Courts Ltd, we’re promoting a backyard culture where basketball courts, tennis courts, putting greens and more are always in play. Choose your game, and we’ll literally help you bring it home.
Our multi-purpose game courts are committed to the concepts of family bonding and health. If it’s true that the family that plays together stays together, then the installation of a game court is a positive step towards reinforcing family unity. Our courts offer 15 different games ranging from basketball and tennis to pickleball, volleyball, dodge ball, badminton, and more as well as a host of court accessories. Our surfaces were designed specifically to reduce stress and fatigue and to absorb impact, preventing injuries and soreness and encouraging your child to stay active. Furthermore, each court’s suspended tile flooring ensures better traction and a more consistent bounce off the dribble, ensuring maximum performance each time a family member takes the court.
Of course if you’re going to add a backyard game court you’ll want to do it in a style that represents you and your family in a unique way. To that end a number of custom design options are available, and not just concerning size and layout. Each court is available in a variety of colors, and can also be fitted with the logo of your favorite sports team. And with a number of optional court accessories to choose from including fencing, lighting, adjustable net systems, and more you’ll enjoy a surface and an experience custom made to your specifications each time you step onto the court. And with turnkey installation, construction of your custom designed court is always completed in a timely fashion.
Imagine a scenario whereby you enhance the quality of your leisure time and your home while providing a gathering place for fun with family and friends. It’s a win anyway you look at it, and as simple as designing a custom court designed with your family’s lifestyle and home layout in mind. For other generations it was the swimming pool. For a new generation the backyard game court is the gateway to family bonding and health. Let the games begin!
Once up on a time children were less sedentary, and navigating video games and downloading music weren’t considered participatory sports. For children who are actually interested in sports these days it makes sense to provide them with an environment to succeed. At Outdoor Courts Ltd, our backyard basketball courts, tennis courts, putting greens, and a host of court accessories mean your children can work to excel at the games they love anytime day or night in the comfort of their own home.

No matter what sport your child excels in, we can offer a setting in which the ability to improve and excel is quite literally built in to the product.

Only that our surfaces were designed specifically to reduce stress and fatigue and to absorb impact, preventing injuries and soreness and encouraging your child to stay active.

Our state of the art suspended tile flooring ensures better traction and a more consistent bounce off the dribble every time. The end result is maximum performance allowed each time your child takes the court, providing a forum in which improvement is only a matter of putting in the work.
If your child is already involved in sports, you know firsthand how athletics can promote not only health but also discipline and focus in other walks of life. If you’re still trying to nurture a love of sports and physical activity in your child, know that the exercise habits they develop today will go a long way in determining their health and happiness as adults. Either way, fun and games just out the back door is a benefit for any child big or small.
Encourage your child’s love of sport and provide him or her with an avenue toward excellence on a court quite literally built for success. More importantly, let them enjoy the games they love for the most important reason of all; because they are fun. When fun and sport are quite literally out the back door, the possibilities are truly endless.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe there was a time when outdoor activities were a mainstay of the average child’s life. The ascent of the Internet, television, and video games has produced a more sedentary generation of children, which is a nice way of saying out of shape. What to do with a generation of children that is on average heaver and unhealthier than previous ones? Introduce them to fun and fitness in the comfort of their own home with a sports surface from Flex Court Athletics.

It’s a fact that lifestyle habits are established at a very early age, and that includes the exercise habits we carry with us for a lifetime. What better way of nurturing a love of sports and physical activity then making those sports convenient and fun. Remote controls, joysticks, iPods, and computers have their place, but exercise and activity should always come first.
Make the games you love a permanent part of your family dynamic and a centerpiece of your home. Most of all, make a statement to your children as to how simple and fun staying in shape can be.
Prevention of a Tennis Elbow injury will always be so much better than a Cure.
So what can you do to prevent a tennis elbow injury?
There are several things you can do which will dramatically lessen your chances of having a tennis elbow injury which incidentally afflicts thousands of players every year.
The first and most important thing is to select proper equipment. There are guidelines that need to be followed when selecting a tennis racquet, and this especially applies to the vast majority of players, who never play in a tournament, but equally suffer the greatest number of Tennis elbow injuries.
You must test as many racquets as possible before choosing the one for you, and take advice from your coach or a qualified salesman before parting with any money!.
It is best to choose a graphite racquet because it will lessen vibration and give you better torque control.
Don’t buy an oversized racquet because although the seet spot might be bigger, the area outside the sweet spot is very difficult and created excessive torque which leads to tennis elbow injury.
A racquet with a more flexible frame will reduce your chances of a tennis elbow injury.
A heavier racquet vibrates less, but don’t buy a racquet with a heavier head because they increase the risks. A heavier handle is OK. Really what you are looking for is a racquet with a high sweet spot, light head and good balance.
Make sure that the string tension is at the lower end of the specifications., and use synthetic nylon, making sure you get a restring every few months
When you are playing especially on clay do not allow the balls to get heavy. This has the potential to cause tennis elbow, so change them often, also when it is damp.
It is a good idea to get some lessons from a qualified tennis instructor, and ask them to pay particular attention to your technique.
This applies particularly to weight transfer and chest neck and shoulder being kept stable, so your shot making is better and there isn’t too much muscle tension.
Warm up properly before you begin, doing gradual stretching exercises for the wrist. Seek advice about the best exercises.
When you are playing tennis start your backhand from the shoulder not the forearm.
Bend your forearm on your forehand shots, so your biceps and shoulder take the force of your swing rather than your elbow .
Whatever you do, bend the arm when you serve. A straight arm and rigid wrist means the elbow takes all the shock of contact.
Finally, don’t put too much topspin on the ball when you play a ground stroke.
If you can do all this then you will dramatically reduce your chances of a tennis elbow injury
Many people view the game of table tennis as an easy or not an athletic game, just like in any sport there are chances that you may get injured.
Below are some safety tips for your next game of table tennis:
1. Ensure you get proper warm up before a game. Your warm up should be about 10 – 15 minutes of stretches and physical activities to increase your blood flow and prepare your body for the game.
2. Do not leave your spare table tennis bats or balls around your playing area, you may step on them and slip.
3. Stay clear of the table area or near the players if you are assigned ball picking duties.
4. Do not bring your water bottle to the table tennis playing area, any water that spills will be difficult to notice and it may cause you to slip.
5. Ensure that the playing area is dry, especially during a game where the players may sweat and make the floor damp.
6. Ensure that the table is properly secured, check that the rollers of the tables are locked. Also, be wary about sitting or leaning on tables, since there are many tables that will fold inwards if weight is placed on the table near the net.
7. Never set up the table tennis table yourself, these tables can be very heavy so care must be take when opening one up. Get a buddy to help.
