Support athletes with high-quality cushioned surfaces

By California Sport Surfaces. 

Learn how to provide athletes with proper safety and comfort support with the right court structure. 

There are a variety of sports that are played on courts and other similarly hard surfaces around the world. These include games such as tennis, pickleball, netball, basketball and volleyball, which are played by people of all ages and abilities — from amateurs to professionals. For all varieties and levels of athlete, it’s important to have the right level of ground support underneath them.  

Typically, lower-impact and more cushioned athletic surfaces are a good option for athletes of all ages and abilities. A common way to achieve this is through building a shock pad layer between the surface of the court and the substrate. Cushioned surfaces are soft and forgiving, providing additional playing comfort and supporting player wellness. Here at California Sport Surfaces, we know that the ground you play on is key for playing longer and avoiding injuries. 

California Sports Surfaces Rebound Ace® systems use an innovative multi-layered cushion design that reduces leg, ligament and lower back strains and other injuries. 

Since 1979, competitive sports like tennis, netball, basketball, volleyball and, more recently, pickleball have benefited with help from our award-winning surface and coating options: 

Best for vigorous, frequent play, our Rebound Ace GS8 Mat System offers the ultimate level of cushioned comfort and shock absorbency. Utilizing a 7mm rubber shock pad, GS8 offers the highest shock absorbency on the market (tested >25% shock absorbency). This surface system is perfect for periods of extended play and is well-suited for the lifelong player.
