The proof is underfoot
Anyone can paint lines on a slab. We built LBF for players who feel the difference between a premium surface and a budget one, in their knees, their footwork, and their game.
Two premium foundations. One pro-grade topcoat.
Every reservable court finishes with Laykold Masters Topcoat, the acrylic system used on professional stages. What sits underneath is what makes us unusual: real cushioning, so you get proper give underfoot instead of the dead thud of paint on concrete.
Acrylic over converted hardwood
- 1Basketball hardwood sanded for adhesion
- 2PU primer + sealer coat
- 3Two Laykold Masters filler coats
- 4Two coats Laykold Masters Topcoat
The wood subfloor provides natural mechanical cushioning, the give you only find in high-end indoor athletic facilities.
5 mm cushioned mat over concrete
- 1Concrete shot-blasted to CSP 3 profile
- 25 mm mats rolled, relaxed 24 hrs, adhered
- 3Bond Kote + two Laykold filler coats
- 4Two coats Laykold Masters Topcoat
The engineered mat is the shock-absorbing layer that replaces what wood does naturally. Joint-friendly for knees, hips, and lower backs.
Same pro-grade finish, different court format. Flex Full Court reservations are $60/hr peak and $40/hr off-peak, while Flex and Social Compact Court reservations are $20/hr. Daytime Unlimited Compact Court reservations are $15/hr, and Elite Unlimited Compact Court reservations are free. The two cushioned concrete courts are typically reserved for finals and championships. Earning your way there means a spot on the softest surface in the building.
You know that feeling when there’s a wall behind you?
At budget venues you back off a lob because you’ll hit the wall, and your partner can’t chase an ATP without slamming into a curtain. We built LBF specifically so that doesn’t happen.
- 8-foot buffer behind every baseline
- 5-foot buffer on each sideline
- 4-ft black powder-coated perimeter fencing
