Diehard basketball players dream about having their own in-home court, and with a little work, it can become a reality. Indoor basketball courts cost $35,000 on average, and you can build them in areas such as garages, barns, or house additions. Here we will break down the costs of an indoor basketball court and a bit about the process of creating one.

How Much Does It Cost to Build an Indoor Basketball Court per Square Foot?

On average, an indoor basketball court will cost $3.50 to $17 per square foot total, depending on your material choices and labor costs. This is a big range, but what types of materials you choose and any existing structure you have makes all the difference.

Flooring and labor are your two biggest investments. Maple hardwood runs $3.50 to $6 per square foot plus $3 to $8 per square foot for installation. It’s the gold standard for basketball court floors, so for many serious players, it’s well worth the cost. 

Laminate flooring is a fraction of the cost, at $0. 70 to $2 per square foot and with the same installation costs.

You could also forgo additional flooring altogether and just play on a cement slab. In this case, you’ll likely want an epoxy floor coating to protect the concrete. Materials and labor run approximately $6 per square foot.

How Much Does an Indoor Basketball Court Cost by Size?

The size of the court makes the biggest difference in cost. Think about your goals for the court: Is it just for quick pick-up games, practice for your child’s team, or professional players? How you will use the court helps determine its size and how much you want to budget for it. When choosing the court size, remember to include extra feet for the perimeter.

Small Courts

A smaller space of 30 feet by 30 feet (900 square feet) costs $3,300 to $15,000 on average. These courts are great for three-on-three action, measuring about one-fifth of the size of a full basketball court.

Half-Courts

A half-size court is 47 feet by 50 feet (2,350 square feet). Its average cost is $8,600 to $38,000. A half-court is close to the size of a junior high court, which is 74 feet by 42 feet.

Full Courts

A full court that is a regulation size of 94 by 50 feet (4,700 square feet) will fall in the $17,200 to $76,000 range. A full-sized high school basketball court is 84 by 50 feet for reference.

Building an Indoor Basketball Court Cost Breakdown

If you don’t have an existing space to repurpose into your dream court, you will need a contractor to build an appropriate room or outbuilding. Here are some of your options:

• Building an attached addition to your home averages $43,000.

• A detached addition averages $27,000.

• Building a pole barn costs around $15,000.

Once you have your space, you can address the makings of the court. Prices will vary depending on what type and styles of materials you choose.

What Factors Influence the Cost to Build an Indoor Basketball Court?

Labor and flooring are the two highest costs for the basketball court itself. Both are dependent on the size of the court. While labor costs can vary, you have some control over the price of your flooring by choosing what materials to use.

Flooring

Your flooring material cost can range widely with maple hardwood, coming in at around $3.50 to $6 per square foot for the wood plus another $3 to $8 per square foot for installation.

On the more affordable end, working with an existing cement slab is also an option. Consider applying an epoxy floor coating to protect the concrete. The price of an epoxy coating depends on the type and square footage. On average, it’s approximately $6 per square foot for materials and a professional installation.

Structural Costs

The vision for your indoor court can have a huge impact on the cost. For example, an attached addition will tend to cost more than a detached addition. Depending on your structure, you may want to add ventilation and ductwork for an HVAC system, which averages around $1,100. You can also expect to pay $450 to $550 per light fixture, not including electrical costs.

Things like the type of hoop(s) you choose, upgrades to premium materials, and other sports equipment will raise your costs, so be sure to mention these factors early so they are included in your estimate.

DIY Vs. Hiring a Pro

Labor costs are high for a project of this magnitude, and it requires time, specialized knowledge, and multiple types of flooring and structural professionals. With that in mind, this installation is best left to the pros. However, ask your local contractor what tasks you can do yourself in order to lower the costs or prepare for the installation.

For example, one job that you can take on is painting the lines on the indoor basketball court. Hiring a local professional painter costs around $300 for basic markings, but you can buy what you need for $50 to $100. Be sure to include things like rollers, pads, and trays, concrete or asphalt primer, paint, tape, and non-skid additives.

Frequently Asked Questions

From floor to ceiling, your court should measure at least 27 feet, so you have ample room to play.

Not if you already have the structure that will become the court. You can build an outdoor basketball court for about the same average price per square foot.

Consider any additional areas in your home that may need new flooring. Doing them at the same time can help save you the cost of labor service visits.

Getting the lines painted on your new court is a quick job. Consider any other rooms of your house that need a fresh coat of paint and combine the service call.

If you are running new lines, have the technicians inspect your home’s current wires and pipes for preventative maintenance or to add some new outlets. Make the most out of the time the pro is at your home.

Stages of construction on the example of a football stadium

The thickness of the foundation pit and the amount of materials that are needed for your foundation, we select depending on the size of the field. We select drainage and other systems based on the regional location (how much precipitation is in your region, what kind of drainage is needed). Additionally, we equip drainage wells, or divert them to the drainage system. Field slopes of several different types depending on site operating conditions.

Preparing the excavation, sand bed, drainage system

The quality of a football field is more than half dependent on the quality of the base! Our base is a monolithic solid single layer, which over the years does not form any fractures, the soil does not go anywhere and remains flat throughout the entire period of operation. Relatively speaking, even if a tractor passes over the base, there will be no tire marks, because everything is solid and dense!

Sequential compaction of base layers

We carry out all types of additional improvement works: we can install a fence for you, pave an asphalt path to something, level the territory, paint walls, curbs, etc. We will perform all the required related work!

Installation of the curbstone

The laying of artificial grass itself is as important as the preparation of the base. When laying the field, an important aspect is gluing the rolls and cutting the markings. Gluing must be done securely. The material in the work requires getting used to, because the two-component glue rolls down after a while and they need to work quickly.

Laying the grass on the prepared base, gluing it and cutting the markings

Be sure to remember: the gate is installed with a safety requirement so that it does not turn over. Therefore, this aspect is given special importance. In this regard, the gate is either concreted or attached to an accompanying fence.

Installation of the goal

The backfilling of a football field determines a large part of the playing characteristics. Backfilling is a responsible job, because the presence or absence of drops and bumps, which will eventually be felt during the game, depends on the uniform distribution of sand and crumb rubber on sports grounds. That is, there should be both a flat base and a high-quality pile with an even distribution of backfill under it.

Raising grass, distributing sand and crumb rubber across the field

We cooperate with the largest manufacturers of stands, fences and other sports equipment in the Russian Federation. Therefore, if necessary, we can supply everything you need to the object at a wholesale price. We install all this equipment, advise in which cases which is better, etc. We can supply many things both in a finished version and make them ourselves on the spot.

Installation of additional equipment (treadmills, jumping pits, safety fences, grandstands)

You can also be sure that we will carry out all the necessary arrangements for their improvement on the site and the adjacent territory.
