Apollo NZ Global3x3 Project Brief
KNOTTR · 3X3 BASKETBALL SYSTEMS

PLAY + SOCIAL + HOSPITALITY

Commercial / Social 3x3

Turn 3x3 into a destination, not just a court.

For commercial social-play venues, bars, hospitality projects, resorts and mixed-use recreation precincts where basketball is one part of the customer experience. Apollo structures the sports package around the operating model, then coordinates the court with lighting, containment, seating, technology, weather protection and the interfaces around hospitality and spectator space.

Global supply-only project pathway. Local civil works, installation and approvals remain destination-specific unless expressly included.

PLAYING SURFACE

ATHREN C3, CT or BC selected around the venue model

Use ATHREN C3 where competition-led 3x3 matters, ATHREN CT for durable recreation and high-turnover social play, or ATHREN BC where the playing surface needs a more architectural timber-look presentation.
