Foreword
The American Sports Builders Association is proud to present the 2003 revision of its Guidelines for Tennis Court Construction. It is believed that these Guidelines will prove to be a useful reference for those having an interest in tennis court construction, and that knowledge of the construction practices and methods set forth will further enhance the quality of such construction in the United States.
The former Guideline Specifications have been completely reviewed, revised and updated. A committee of experienced contractors, including Certified Tennis Court Builders, materials suppliers and design professionals contributed to this project.
Tennis courts often rest on dynamic soils, and varying climate, soil and topographic conditions make it impossible to specify construction practices and methods which can be safely followed in all parts of the United States. The revision has been retitled from “Guideline Specifications” to “Guidelines” to emphasize this fact. Users are cautioned that site specific conditions may require materials or methods different from those described herein, and those not experienced in tennis court construction are advised to seek the advice of a qualified contractor and/or design professional.
Changing technology and new developments in construction methods will certainly necessitate further revisions to these Guidelines. It can be expected that individual sections of these Guidelines will be revised from time to time prior to the next general revision. Users should ensure that they are using the most recent version of the Guidelines, and should take appropriate steps to inform themselves of new developments that may not yet be reflected even in the most current version.

Parties not experienced in tennis court or running track construction are advised to consult a qualified contractor, consultant and/or design professional. Experienced contractors, consultants and/or design professionals can be identified through the American Sports Builders Association.
