How Much Does a Basketball Court Cost?

The components you’ll need to consider…

Concrete

It all starts with a strong foundation. If the slab is not done right, problems with alignment can present during the tile installation or later in the court’s life. Some sports court suppliers simply don’t pour concrete, regardless of your location. In those cases you will likely be required to find, hire and manage your own local contractor(s) to complete this job. Dealing with construction contractors can present unsavoury risks to budget, safety and quality of the finished product. It can also make it difficult to set netting posts and the in-ground hoop anchor system into the concrete, as you may have to coordinate with more than one company.

The pricing of concrete slabs can vary significantly across the country and from job-to-job. We recommend budgeting $100 – $150 per square metre of concrete required, inclusive of excavation, materials and labour. However, if extensive excavation is required or the site has limited access or is in a remote location, the price per square metre can be higher.

Hoop

The cost of your Basketball hoop will depend on a few factors such as how big you want the backboard and the hoop extension to be. It’s best to stick with a tried-and-tested, heavy-duty brand (we highly recommend Goalrilla) for optimal performance, adjustability and longevity. We stock a range of the world’s best, super-sturdy, permanent, outdoor, adjustable basketball hoops. The cost of a quality hoop can range from around $1,500 to $4,500.

Line Markings & Court Art

Line markings can usually cost upwards of $500+ to outsource. MSF Sports currently offers free line markings on all MSF PRO flooring packages (including a second sport’s line markings! eg. Basketball and Netball lines).

Additionally, if you’d like to have your own special custom logo or artwork painted in the ‘key’ (or anywhere else), the average cost of a single colour logo printed is around $500. You can supply your own vector or hi-res artwork.

Labour

Hiring labourers can set you back in the region of $300 – $400 per day per labourer, and it’s often not easy to find those with experience building sports courts. In-ground hoops require three strong labourers to build. The total court surface & hoop installation labour charges generally sits around $1100 – $1500, but this can vary due to a range of factors such as court size, customisations, site location/access and hoop chosen.

We recommend using an experienced and reputable sports court builder such as MSF Sports, to install your court surface and hoop to correctly match the approved design specs.
