Ball court tiles - The playing surface for small fields
For many adolescents, the transition from childhood to adolescence also means the move from playgrounds to small playing fields. Therefore, in private gardens, at schools and sports clubs and in public spaces, there are more and more small playing fields that are used as soccer fields, basketball courts, soccer fields or even tennis courts.
The dimensions of a small field are not fixed, but depend on the planned use and available space. For all small fields, however, the surface must be weatherproof and playable in all seasons. In addition, good ball bouncing and protection in case of falls are required.
With ball playing surfaces from WARCO, any small field can be realized easily and economically.

Just create your own small playing field
A WARCO play surface consists of hand-held tiles with a dovetail joint at the edge. During installation, the individual tiles join together to form a securely bonded carpet of tiles.
For a basketball hoop on the house wall or carport, simply lay 18 mm thick sports floor panels on the concrete interlocking pavement or driveway asphalt.
- For a small playing field in the garden or on a greenbelt, a base layer of plastic honeycomb grid is made, on which 30 or 40 mm thick ball play tiles are then laid - usually without special edging.
- For the tennis wall, the 30 mm thick ball playing mats pro (with higher density) are laid directly on a leveled and flat cinder field.
- A large soccer field or basketball court is laid on plastic honeycomb grids with or without frost protection, depending on the surface. Ball tiles with a thickness of 40 mm are used as the playing surface.
Discover step by step in the practical guide how easy it is to make a small pitch:
Playing field playable in all weather conditions and all year round
Unlimited playability at any time of the year and in any weather is a unique selling point that distinguishes a playing surface made of WARCO ball playing tiles from other surfaces. Summer or winter, dry or wet - the pitch is playable.
The surface is fully permeable (so no drainage is needed) and dries quickly after rain. There are no puddles, mud or dust blown up by the wind. The playing surface also has a good grip. It is slip-resistant in both wet and dry conditions and offers fall protection.
A pitch surface from WARCO can be used in any climate zone. From East Africa to Central Europe and Iceland, pitches with ball playing surfaces from WARCO have proven their worth.
Playing fields in private gardens and public spaces
Playing basketball instead of sitting behind your smartphone
A small basketball court in your own yard can be built without much effort and is a good motivation to encourage children to exercise more. In this case, the basketball court was simply built in the middle of the lawn.
If desired, the surface can also be used as a patio or play area. Therefore, the basket is not permanently installed, but mobile so that it can be placed anywhere.
Ball games with low noise levels
The noise protection offered by a ball court surfaced with WARCO ball playing tiles compared to a concrete ball playing surface should not be underestimated. This is because the rubber granulate playing surface significantly reduces the noise generated by the impact of the balls and thus prevents residents in the surrounding houses from being disturbed.
Particularly in inner-city areas, such as here in the green backyard of an apartment building, noise protection is a very important argument when deciding on a WARCO playing surface.
Scalable sports floor for every pitch
No matter what dimensions a pitch should have. WARCO ball playing surfaces are the right surface for pitches of any size and use.
Whether it's a large playing field in your own garden that can be used for basketball, volleyball, badminton or as a bobby car track, or whether it's a soccer court or football pitch in a housing estate or at a sports club. With WARCO's freely scalable flooring system, you are on the safe side and can extend or reduce the size of a playing field as required and even dismantle it and rebuild it elsewhere.
Sports surface for renovation and conversion
Often an already paved area, such as the large tiled terrace at the Schieder-Schwalenberg outdoor pool, is to be renovated or put to a new use.
Upgrading a paved area is particularly easy and sustainable with WARCO ball game tiles. This is because they are simply laid on top of the existing surface with little effort and an attractive playing field is created in no time at all, which can be used for a variety of games and sports.
Particularly important: the playing field is safer because the WARCO playing field floor is non-slip and offers fall protection.
Ball game boards in a convenient format
Contrary to popular belief, the 1/4 square meter tile format of 50 × 50 cm is significantly better on the pitch than the 1/1 square meter tile format of 100 × 100 cm. This is because the sports floor in 1/4 square meter format lays much better in the long term and can react more flexibly to external influences such as temperature or precipitation.
In addition, the connection of the individual ball playing tiles by means of the zipper interlocking, i.e. the classic dovetail interlocking, has proven to be the best connection system for playing field surfaces.
All-weather basketball court
A basketball court, but also a soccer court for young people and recreational athletes, is only really useful if it can be played on at any time of year and in any weather. After all, what good is a pitch if it is closed at certain times of the year?
With WARCO's water-permeable ball game tiles, there are no seasonal restrictions on use.
In addition to optimum playability, the low investment costs also speak in favor of a pitch made of WARCO ball playing tiles. It is therefore worthwhile choosing WARCO ball playing surfaces for your pitch.
