More opportunities for practice means a better chance of your youngsters reaching their personal athletic goals! Harsh Weather At the time of this writing, the current temperature in Louisville, KY is 11 degrees F, with a wind-chill factor of 1 degree. It’s safe to assume your aspiring young athletes are more likely to be gaming on their XBOX than out shooting free-throws or practicing penalty kicks in this frigid weather. The Kentucky seasons contribute greatly to the State’s unique beauty, but these harsh winter months, and the often scorching hot August temps, can hinder a young athlete’s ability to develop as a player, no matter the Sport. While most athletes have access to a school, church, or local gym at which they can put in practice during harsh weather, limited operating hours, scheduling, travel arrangements, and competition for these spaces can make it difficult to take full advantage. Hence the rise of the indoor home gym! Year-round Use An indoor home gym can constitute anything from a small room in the basement with a hoop, to a multi-sport building suitable for entertaining the high school basketball team. The important aspect is that its located on your property and able to be used whenever you see fit, especially on those hot or cold days. Whether you are building a new home or planning an addition to your current one, working an indoor home gym into the plans will provide a space for your young athletes to practice year-round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More opportunities for practice means a better chance of your youngsters reaching their personal...

Water will find its way past roofs, walls, doors, and cracks, to get to its final resting place – where it will almost certainly wreak havoc. And the part of the structure usually sustaining the most damage? The floor. It’s a looming threat to almost any building, especially those that may be a little past their prime, but a truly terrible reality for owners of a beautiful hardwood gym. We’ve witnessed first-hand how water problems in a building can render a finely crafted hardwood floor completely unrepairable in a matter of hours. Fortunately there are options, including the many different types of athletic flooring systems from Connor Sports that we offer here at Sport Court of Kentucky. Arcade Baptist Church, in Louisville, KY, is a perfect example. The patrons of their athletic facility arrived one morning to find a plumbing leak had all but destroyed the hardwood floor. It was a devastating experience, and one they would rather not repeat. So, going forward, the congregation knew they needed a flooring solution that would perform as the hardwood had, but would allow them to rest easier at night. A modular Sport Court was THE solution. It’s the only athletic surface we offer where moisture is never an issue. Frozen leaks, steamy humidity, spilled drinks, standing water, moisture from a concrete slab? Not a problem. The loose-laid rubber underlayment, covered with a polypropylene modular surface, will be unaffected and ready for action long after the water has moved on. And the multi-use surface will provide a safe, high-performance athletic court for the weekly basketball leagues as well as a durable, easy-to-maintain...
