PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club venue with repeat use, team/official areas, storage, spectator and maintenance planning.
Competition
Competition pathway with controlled court envelope, equipment evidence, lighting and event operations.
Elite / major venue
Indoor arena / major event pathway with sprung floor, seating, FÍSVOR, media and multi-use changeover.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Protect the complete netball court, run-off, post positions, team benches, officials, substitution and spectator edges. Multi-court sites need circulation between courts, not just repeated painted rectangles.
surface
Outdoor acrylic/modular and indoor resilient/sprung-floor pathways should be selected by environment, competition level, shock/slip performance and maintenance.
equipment
Goalposts, rings, nets, sleeves or bases, post padding and storage need exact geometry and safe restraint. Do not substitute basketball equipment imagery or specification.
lighting
Coordinate player visibility, vertical ball tracking, glare, outdoor spill light and indoor roof-service conflicts.
spectators
Plan sideline viewing, benches, accessible positions, covered viewing and larger arena seating without reducing run-off.
structure
Coordinate post sleeves/foundations, indoor floor sockets, roof-mounted dividers, scoreboards, lighting and any spectator covers.
environment
Outdoor court drainage, UV, wind and heat need separate planning from indoor temperature, ventilation and glare.
accessibility
Accessible arrival, viewing, circulation and inclusive community-use pathways should be built into the court/arena rather than added later.
storage
Posts, padding, benches, divider systems and multi-sport equipment need dedicated bays and movement routes, especially in shared halls.
technology
FÍSVOR scoreboard/timing, PA, cameras and venue information systems should be positioned around officials and spectator sightlines.
evidence
Keep governing-body court/equipment requirements, exact-product evidence and destination building/electrical requirements distinct.
lifecycle
Inspect playing surface, lines, post sleeves/bases, rings, nets, padding, lighting, scoring and spectator systems on a defined venue schedule.

DRAWING & SUBMITTAL ROADMAP
Draw the interfaces that can create procurement errors.
Court + run-off plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Post sleeve / base detail
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Multi-court circulation plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Indoor hall equipment overlay
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Lighting plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Spectator / team / officials layout
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Storage/changeover plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
05
EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Post movement
Check sleeve/base tolerance, restraint and floor/foundation interface.
Outdoor ponding
Check base flatness, falls, drainage and surface blockage.
Indoor glare
Review fixture position, reflective surfaces and background contrast.
Crowded sidelines
Recheck run-off, benches, scorer/official positions and spectator setback.
Surface too slippery
Check contamination, finish wear, cleaning chemistry and moisture.
Slow hall changeover
Review post handling, storage location and shared equipment conflicts.

PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES
Verify final requirements at the official source.

SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
