One Court. Every Sport Your Family Loves.
Why choose one game when your court can handle them all? Multi-sport and multi-game courts are designed to maximize what your outdoor space can do, without sacrificing the quality of any single sport.
More Sports. More Value. Same Court.
A multi-sport court is exactly what it sounds like: one well-designed surface that supports multiple sports through smart layout planning and colour-coded line configurations. Basketball and pickleball. Pickleball and volleyball. Basketball, hockey, and badminton. The combination is up to you.
It’s one of the most popular configurations TSS builds, and for good reason. Families rarely play just one sport. Kids grow into new games. Adults discover pickleball. Hockey families want a surface that works in the off-season too. A multi-sport court grows with your family rather than locking you into a single use.
The key to a great multi-sport court isn’t just fitting multiple sets of lines onto a surface. It’s designing the layout so each sport plays well, the lines are easy to read during play, and the court feels intentional rather than cluttered. That’s where our design team earns their keep.
Sport Combinations
The Most Popular Configurations We Build
Every multi-sport court is designed around your priorities. Here are the combinations our clients ask for most often.
Basketball + Pickleball
The most popular combination by a wide margin. Basketball courts and pickleball courts share enough dimensional overlap that the two sports can be combined cleanly on a single surface. Colour-coded lines keep each sport clearly defined. This combination works across medium, large, and full size court tiers.
Recommended size: Medium and up (1,000+ sq ft)
Basketball + Pickleball + Volleyball
The full family package. Adding volleyball to a basketball and pickleball court requires a net system that can be set up and taken down easily, and enough width to accommodate the volleyball court dimensions. This three-sport configuration is one of the most versatile setups we build.
Recommended size: Medium and up (1,000+ sq ft)
Basketball + Hockey
A classic Canadian combination. Ball hockey and inline hockey lines alongside a basketball setup make for a court that works hard in every season. Add dasher boards and this configuration becomes a genuine hockey training surface. In the winter, the same concrete base is perfect for a natural ice rink.
Recommended size: Large and up (2,000+ sq ft) for comfortable hockey play
Basketball + Pickleball + Hockey
For families who really want it all. This three-sport configuration requires careful layout planning to keep all three sports’ lines legible, but it’s very achievable on a large or full size court. One of our most requested configurations for families with multiple kids playing different sports.
Recommended size: Large and up (2,000+ sq ft)
Pickleball + Tennis
A natural pairing that works particularly well on larger courts. A regulation tennis court fits multiple pickleball courts within its dimensions, making this combination efficient from a space perspective. Popular with clubs and serious recreational players who want both sports on one surface.
Recommended size: Full size (3,000+ sq ft) for regulation tennis
Custom Combinations

Design & Layout
Smart Design Makes All the Difference
The difference between a great multi-sport court and a confusing one comes down to layout and colour. Here’s how we approach it.
Colour-Coded Lines
Each sport on your court gets its own distinct line colour. Basketball lines might be white. Pickleball lines in yellow. Volleyball in blue. When you’re playing one sport, the other sports’ lines recede visually and don’t interfere with play. It sounds simple, but the colour selection and contrast ratios matter, and we get them right.
Sport Priority
On most multi-sport courts, one sport is the primary use and others are secondary. We design the layout around the primary sport first, then fit the secondary sports in as cleanly as possible. If two sports are equally important, we’ll tell you upfront if there are any compromises involved and let you decide how to proceed.
Net Systems
Sports that require a net, including pickleball, volleyball, and badminton, use portable net systems that can be set up and taken down in minutes. We supply and install professional-grade net systems that are sturdy enough for serious play but easy enough to move when you want to switch sports.
Court Review Before Installation
Before any surface goes down, we’ll show you a detailed layout diagram of your court with all sport lines mapped out. You’ll see exactly how everything fits and can request adjustments before anything is permanent.

Surface Options
Choose Your Surface
Multi-sport courts are available with both TSS surface systems. For courts carrying three or more sports, surface choice can have an impact on how well each sport plays, so it’s worth discussing during your consultation.
SnapSports Modular Tiles
The most versatile surface for multi-sport applications. SnapSports tiles deliver consistent ball response and traction across all sports, and the modular system makes it easy to update or reconfigure line markings as your sports mix evolves over time. Excellent drainage also means the court is playable quickly after rain, which matters when you’re trying to get a game in.
Acrylic Court Surface
A smooth, hardwearing surface that plays well across basketball, pickleball, tennis, and volleyball. Acrylic delivers a clean, seamless look that makes multi-sport line configurations particularly easy to read visually. A strong choice for clients who want a classic court aesthetic across all their sports.

Common Questions
Multi-Sport Courts, Answered
How many sports can fit on one court?
It depends on the size of the court and the sports involved. Most medium courts comfortably accommodate two to three sports. Large and full size courts can handle three to four sports or more without the layout feeling crowded. The limiting factor is usually legibility: too many line colours on a smaller surface can get confusing during play. Our design team will tell you honestly what works and what doesn’t for your specific dimensions.
Do the extra lines make the court confusing to play on?
Not when the layout is done properly. The key is distinct colour separation between sports and smart positioning of each sport’s lines relative to the others. When it’s designed well, you focus on your sport’s lines and the others simply fade into the background. We’ll show you the layout plan before anything is installed so you can see exactly how it will look.
Can I add a sport to my court later?
Yes. SnapSports modular tile surfaces can be updated with new line markings as your needs change. Acrylic surfaces can also be relined, though it involves a resurfacing process. If you think your sports mix might evolve, mention it during your consultation and we’ll design the initial court with that flexibility in mind.
What's the difference between multi-sport and multi-game?
We use these terms interchangeably. Both refer to a court designed to accommodate multiple sports or games on a single surface. Some clients use “multi-game” to describe courts that include informal games like four-square alongside standard sports. Either way, the design approach is the same: one surface, multiple uses, smart layout.
Do net systems come with the court?
Net systems for pickleball, volleyball, and badminton are available as add-ons and are not automatically included in the base project scope. We supply and install professional-grade net systems that are built for real play, not toy-grade alternatives. We’ll discuss net system options during your consultation and include them in your project estimate if you’d like them.
Is a multi-sport court more expensive than a single-sport court?
The base cost of the court itself is the same regardless of how many sports you put on it. Additional line configurations add a modest cost. Net systems and sport-specific accessories add cost depending on what you choose. Overall, a multi-sport court is one of the best value-per-dollar investments in a backyard installation because you’re getting multiple uses out of a single slab.
