Building tennis courts and basket ball court.

Hey guys!
I hope I can find some advice here. My brothers and I are members of our recently started neighborhood club. The mission of our club is to make people, especially kids more active in various sports. We are planning to build a couple of tennis courts and a basketball court in our club. There are a lot of kids here interested in these sports.

So I have a couple of questions that need answers. Anyone here having experience with building either basketball or tennis court installations in your own home or in your club? If so, can someone give me an average cost of construction for standard sized courts? No need to give an exact cost, just a rough estimate is needed for planning purpose at this stage.

The land is pretty much leveled so I guess, it won’t cost a lot in leveling it. We looked on the Internet to know about court construction and learned about different kinds of tennis and basketball court surfaces that can be built. We are thinking to build a hard court and a clay court for tennis and concrete court for basketball. Are they good enough? I am also looking for helpful advice and suggestions from someone who knows about it.

Build skate parks and dirt jumps instead. Building a tennis court is a god awful idea. You may as well suggest building a jai alai complex.

Do you even ski? How did you find NS to make this random first post? Please tell me you googled "tennis court building advice" and NS was the top result.

No experience at all, but I think if you have to, laying bodies you need to dispose of in the fill before you surface it is a good technique. I've never done this before but I bet it would work, because I think the smell of the tar would throw any dogs off the scent. Anyway, good luck with the corpses, and I hope you don't have too many to cover up.

Around here everyone uses just hard court surface. No one uses clay courts. Unless you are Europe or someplace where there is a clay court scene I'd just go with hard court surface. Also I'd use the same surface for both tennis courts in case you ever use it as part of a tournament or something.

If you're looking to pave it like a regular tennis court, it'll be far above 10 grand
