Pickleball, a unique blend of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, has grown rapidly in popularity, attracting an estimated 36.5 million players in the past year alone. One facility that has embraced this expanding sport is TOPSEED Pickleball in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With a state-of-the-art facility and an unwavering commitment to quality, they have partnered with Hellas to install TPS Court Surfacing, creating an exceptional playing experience for pickleball enthusiasts.

Durable and Innovative Court Surfaces:

Hellas, the largest sports contractor in America, implemented 5″ thick post-tensioned concrete slabs covering approximately 25,000 square feet. This high-quality court surface ensures longevity and withstands the demands of pickleball gameplay. The TPS Court Surfacing consists of silica sand, providing a medium to slower ball speed, and features two main colors of green and blue with white trim, adhering to the United States Tennis Association line specifications. With the incorporation of TPS 5000® Fortified Acrylic Color Coating, the court lines are defined with precision.

Unparalleled Expertise:

Hellas’ commitment to excellence extends beyond court surfacing. Employing post tensioning techniques below the court surface, they guarantee the durability and longevity of the pickleball courts. TOPSEED Pickleball General Manager, James Moore, emphasizes that the quality of the courts is instrumental in attracting and retaining players. By choosing Hellas’ post tensioning concrete and TPS Court Surfacing, TOPSEED Pickleball ensures their customers have the best playing experience possible.

Versatility and Customization:

TPS Court Surfaces are not limited to pickleball. They are suitable for various sports, such as tennis, futsal, and multi-sport courts, allowing for versatility in facility usage. Each TPS Court Surface project is tailored to the specific needs of clients, including the incorporation of logos, windscreens, benches, and backboards. Hellas’ expertise in customization ensures that every facility is unique and meets the highest standards.

Illuminated for Optimal Gameplay:

Lighting is crucial for outdoor pickleball courts. TOPSEED Pickleball installed 12 LSI lighting sports fixtures, supported by eight 20-foot lighting poles, offering exceptional visibility during evening play. The innovative design of these fixtures allows for easy removal of posts and nets, enabling the facility to accommodate major and minor league pickleball events, including the seating required for spectators.

Smooth Construction and Timely Delivery:

TOPSEED Pickleball’s Managing Partner, Brett Benton, commended Hellas for their professionalism and smooth construction process. With a single point of contact throughout the project, Hellas delivered the project on time and under budget, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.

 “Post tensioning concrete & TPS Court Surfacing by Hellas was the formula to maintain our customer base.” TOPSEED GM James Moore
