Surfaces and court systems
Sports flooring, pickleball, padel and multi-sport pathways should be selected around the base, environment, sport mix, repair strategy and required evidence rather than a generic surface category.
Specification Records / Global
Sports specification starts with the facility, base and operating brief.
Use this centre to move from sport and facility intent into the correct Apollo product owner, comparison guide, current technical information and project brief without treating every sports surface or venue as interchangeable.

Direct answer
The short version.
For a sports specification, define the sport programme, indoor/outdoor environment, existing or proposed base, drainage, competition or community-use level, lighting, containment, spectator requirements and local works before fixing the product family. Current product documents must match the exact selected system.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Facility infrastructure
Lighting, fencing, acoustics, seating, shade, covered structures, score/display systems and equipment need to be coordinated with circulation and the playing area.
Technical evidence
Use current Apollo product pages and registered technical documents. Federation, test or performance claims must be tied to the exact system and current evidence rather than carried across a product family by assumption.
Tender and local works
The tender should separate Apollo supply from substrate preparation, civil works, foundations, electrical work, engineering, approvals, installation and commissioning unless expressly included in the written scope.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Can one generic sports specification cover every Apollo surface?
No. Surface construction, base requirements, sport suitability and evidence vary by product family and exact configuration.
Where should current sports technical documents be checked?
Use Apollo's Technical & Specifier Centre and the exact product owner. Held or superseded supplier material should not be used as current public evidence.
Does Apollo provide the local sports-facility construction scope?
Apollo is primarily supply-only. Local civil works, base preparation, foundations, electrical work, engineering, approvals and installation remain separately defined unless expressly included.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
