Christmas Island residents now enjoy a new sports court floor in their recreation centre.

SnapSports was invited to quote the re-surfacing of the entire sports court by Protective Coating Systems, Picton, Western Australia.

SnapSports flooring offers unique features to overcome the high humidity that impacts other fixed flooring options causing them to fail.

Following a rigorous assessment process including inspections of the recently laid SnapSports BounceBack® ShockTower® multipurpose gymnasium floor at Windaroo Valley State High School south of Brisbane, Queensland SnapSports was awarded the contract.

SnapSports tile ‘Revolution TuffShield‘ in maple with the patented ShockTower® system was chosen.

Images of the Christmas Island flag, and the giant Red Crab were painted onto the sports court.

The recreation centre was built in 2004 and is used by many of the 2,000 residents for activities including netball, basketball, volleyball, futsal and badminton.

Christmas Island is about 19 km in length and 15 km wide. It is located 2,600 km north-west of Perth, Western Australia and 500km south of Indonesia. It has a population of just over 2,000 residents.

SnapSports Global Dealer Conference

The 40th SnapSports Global Dealer conference wrapped up after two days in Las Vegas.

The meeting was a terrific chance to learn about new developments and mix with Dealers from all parts of the globe to share key learnings from hundreds of court installations worldwide.

Global sales chief Jeff Vance (pictured) led the meeting with a well planned agenda of topics covering all aspects of this global sports flooring business.

Insights from long time Dealers provided a great balance and their hands-on experience was a pleasure to absorb and learn.

It was a great couple of days at a fantastic location.

Well done to the SnapSports Head Office team for pulling it together.
