What Tennis and Pickleball Court Equipment Does Active Sports Carry?

Updated

Active Sports (active-sports.com) is a U.S. supplier of tennis and pickleball court equipment, covering four main areas: court maintenance, court accessories, nets and enclosures, and court surfaces. It is also an authorized Playmate ball machine dealer and describes itself as the largest authorized Playmate sales and service center in the United States. If you are building, maintaining, or outfitting a court or facility, the categories below show what you can source in one place.

Court Maintenance Equipment

This category covers the routine and seasonal work of keeping a court playable.

  • Court dryers
  • Court rollers
  • Grooming equipment
  • Scarification equipment
  • Line brooms
  • Line tape and nails
  • Resurfacing equipment
  • Algae control
  • Court irrigation
  • Fastening devices
  • Shoe cleaners

For clay courts in particular, rollers, grooming tools, and irrigation work together as a maintenance set, so buying them from one supplier can simplify matching components.

Court Accessories

These are the items that support players, spectators, and court organization.

  • Backboards and rebound nets
  • Benches and bleachers
  • Coolers and stands
  • Court numbers and signs
  • Court organizers

A listed example is the Courtsider Bench, a five-foot bench made of high-density polyethylene plastic, priced at $276.00.

Tennis Nets, Posts, and Enclosures

This group covers the net system and the boundaries around a court.

  • Round net posts

Court Surfaces

Active Sports lists surface systems for both clay and hard courts:

  • Har-Tru-Clay
  • American Red Clay
  • Har-Tru HydroCourt
  • Novacrylic® Hard Courts

Which surface fits depends on your facility type, climate, and maintenance capacity — clay and hard courts differ significantly in ongoing care requirements.

Playmate Ball Machines

As an authorized Playmate dealer, Active Sports carries:

  • Portable Series
  • Commercial Series
  • Parts and accessories
  • Playmate service and repair
  • A model comparison chart
  • Pre-owned ball machines

Listed Playmate pricing includes the Volley Portable at $2,395.00 (with free shipping on that item) and the iGenie Tennis Ball Machine at $7,795.00. The site also offers a model comparison chart, which is the practical starting point if you are deciding between portable and commercial models.

How to Decide What to Buy

If your goal is... Start with...
Keeping an existing court playable Court maintenance (rollers, dryers, grooming, line supplies)
Outfitting a court for players and spectators Court accessories (benches, scorekeepers, canopies, umpire chairs)
Replacing or upgrading the net system Nets, posts, and net accessories
Building or resurfacing Court surfaces plus resurfacing equipment
Ball machine training or club use Playmate portable or commercial series

The site lists a phone line (800-322-2848) and a checkout page, so both phone orders and online checkout appear to be supported. For large facility projects, calling is likely more useful than ordering piece by piece online, since surface and maintenance systems need to be matched to your court type.
