Tennis/ Netball Courts

Running matches on tennis and netball courts in Johannesburg means managing the realities of the region's climate and infrastructure. Highveld conditions mean intense UV exposure and rapid surface wear; courts need regular maintenance to handle both summer thunderstorms and winter dryness without becoming unplayable. Load shedding affects floodlighting schedules, shifting when evening training and weekend tournaments can actually happen. Court booking systems need to accommodate both casual players and organised league fixtures, which requires coordination that goes beyond simply opening gates. Proper court surfaces—whether hard court or synthetic—demand specific care to prevent cracking and water pooling, especially after the heavy summer rains Johannesburg gets. Facilities that manage these practicalities keep players on court rather than watching from the sideline.
