NETBALL / BASKETBALL COURTS

Netball and Basketball Court Facilities

Outdoor sports are a vital part of community life. Whether it’s a competitive netball match or a friendly basketball game, these activities promote health, community, and fun. However, harsh weather conditions can limit playtime and affect athletes’ performance.

Covered outdoor courts allow players to participate and enjoy sports year-round, whatever the weather. If you manage a sports facility, a sports court shade structure will help you confidently deliver your program. You no longer have to juggle cancelled matches and interrupted tournaments because of weather conditions.

The importance of shading sports courts

UV protection is a must for outdoor activities in Australia. Shade structures over sports courts keep players and spectators safe from harmful rays while sheltering them from rain, so games go on no matter the weather. With covered courts, outdoor sports facilities can be used year-round.

Schools, councils, and community centres are quickly seeing the benefits. Covered netball and basketball courts are becoming standard in parks and schools, supporting consistent sports programs and events. Many of these courts also double as flexible outdoor learning spaces, making them a smart investment.

Key benefits of shaded sports courts

The most immediate benefit of installing shade structures is the protection from harmful UV rays. This is important for schools and local councils that want to ensure the safety.

Sports courts can be used in any weather with the right shade structure. Whether it’s the hot Australian summer or a rainy winter day, shaded courts make outdoor sports possible year-round.

Playing under direct sunlight for extended periods can lead to fatigue and dehydration. Shaded courts provide a cooler, more comfortable environment, allowing players to focus better.

Shaded sports courts enhance the appeal of public sports facilities. Local councils and schools that invest in these show a commitment to the well-being of their communities.

Types of shade structures for sports courts

Choose from 3 permanent court-covering options, each carefully custom-designed by Greenline for your space.

Often called Permanent Airhalls by netball authorities, these fabric structures are perfect for covering large courts, delivering maximum shade with minimal materials.

Built to withstand changing weather, they keep netball and basketball facilities playable year-round.

The membrane roof shields players from the elements while letting in natural light, creating a bright, inviting, and comfortable environment for every game.

Steel roof structures deliver strong, long-lasting protection for outdoor sports courts. Their durability makes them ideal for large installations, offering full coverage and weather resistance.

With minimal maintenance, they are a cost-effective choice for schools and community sports facilities.

These are perfect for shading both new and existing courts, and our design team can include optional extras like lighting and scoreboards to ensure your facility works the way you need.

Enclosed spaces keep players safe from harsh weather while offering consistent conditions for training and competition. With integrated lighting and climate control, every game and practice can take place in comfort and peak performance.
