Start Sport

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, children of all ages actually went outside to play.  Today video games the Internet, and television have become accepted substitutes for actual activity, resulting in a generation whose lifestyles are more sedentary than ever.  Not surprisingly, this same generation of children is heaver and unhealthier than previous generations.  At Game Courts of Michigan, an authorized Flex Court dealer, we believe that if your children won’t get off the couch and onto the courts of play, then it’s time to bring the courts home to them.

Choose the sport and odds are we have just the court you’re looking for.  From backyard basketball courts and tennis courts to roller hockey, badminton, and gym flooring, Game Courts brings an active lifestyle for the entire family to the comfort of your own backyard.  And with recent studies indicating that some 15% of children and teens are considered overweight and with another 15% at risk of being so, the convenience we bring to the pursuit of exercise has come not a moment too soon.  Our durable and stylish sports flooring makes a great addition to any backyard, as well as a wonderful incentive for kids to get off the couch and back into the game of life.

Making the leap from the couch to the court can be a bit of a shock to the system, but our specially designed courts made from built-in Flexion can help cushion the impact and make the transition from sedentary child to active child a smooth one.  Our surfaces were designed specifically to reduce stress and fatigue and to absorb impact, preventing injuries and soreness and encouraging your child to stay active as he or she begins to see results.  What a great way to nurture a love of sports and physical activity within your child; one that can last a lifetime.

Life habits are established at a very early age, and that includes the exercise habits we carry with us for a lifetime.  What better way to promote exercise as a way of life than to make it fun and most of all convenient at such a formative time of life?  Help your child begin the process of leaving the remote controls and joysticks in the dust.  Most of all, promote family fun in a truly unique and inviting environment.    You might just re-discover your game there too, and once you do it will always be close by!

When parents took their children to lakes during the summer they were intent on teaching their children to ski. These unsuspecting parents had no idea what their children might choose to do with that newly acquire talent. At first the parents were all in favor of the many hours that their children chose to spend outside. They were not privy to the fact that all of that time was spent on skis learning various tricks.

The parents were very positive about skiing because they felt that this water sport was a good physical activity that would keep their children busy and out of trouble for the better part of the summer. Looking outside once in a while might have given them a reason to change their minds. If they had, they might have had a hand in training their children for the things that were occurring in the middle of the lake.

The parents never gave it a second thought when they saw ramps being built on docks in the center of the lake. They did notice the increase in high speed boats on the water and made a mental note to check in to that fact with the neighbors. They wanted to caution their children to stay out of the way of those boats, but even if they had remembered it would have been too late.

When water sports are enjoyed by children without parental controls, they have a tendency to get very extreme in a very short amount of time. The superb craftsmanship in water skis in use today is very different from the skis that parents used when they went water skiing as a child and the new age athletes get totally addicted to this particular water sport.

The things that can be done on the new designs in water skis are definitely different from the old days. The ski designs are made with lighter materials that allow them to soar through the air and twist and turn with precision accuracy that people grew to love the sports extremely well. Water skiing has turned into extreme water sports that require extremely refined skills and nerves of steel.

Parents are in awe of the number of feats that can be accomplished on skis and some people simply wonder how some skiers manage the moves that they do when they rise up out of the water behind the ski boat with no skis on their feet. Even if the skis are lightweight, there are some water sports enthusiasts that prefer to ski barefoot. They are still able to achieve great heights when they ski but they prefer to experiment with the no shoes approach that they consider a skill.
