01Start with the weekly operating pattern
List PE classes, break-time recreation, team training, inter-school sport, clubs and any after-hours community use. Record age groups, supervision, peak periods and the participation outcome the school wants from the project.
02Audit the whole site
Measure the usable footprint and document the base, levels, drainage, access, fences, nearby buildings, services and delivery constraints. A court surface, pump track or shelter should not be expected to correct unresolved civil or access problems.
03Coordinate the system, not isolated products
Court flooring, nets, hoops, RIDEspan pump tracks, SLOPEspan training, lighting, VAKTAR sports vision, shade and storage can share one recreation plan even when they are delivered in different stages.
04Write maintenance and future stages into procurement
Identify who will clean, inspect and maintain the facility, where spare material or hardware will be kept and which service routes or expansion zones need to remain available for later stages.
05Keep local project responsibilities visible
Apollo supplies selected systems and current product information. Civil work, accessibility design, foundations, electrical work, installation, local safety review and approvals remain project-specific unless separately arranged by the relevant project parties.
