Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, children of all ages actually went outside to play.  Today video games the Internet, and television have become accepted substitutes for actual activity, resulting in a generation whose lifestyles are more sedentary than ever.  Not surprisingly, this same generation of children is heaver and unhealthier than previous generations.  At Game Courts of Michigan, an authorized Flex Court dealer, we believe that if your children won’t get off the couch and onto the courts of play, then it’s time to bring the courts home to them.

Choose the sport and odds are we have just the court you’re looking for.  From backyard basketball courts and tennis courts to roller hockey, badminton, and gym flooring, Game Courts brings an active lifestyle for the entire family to the comfort of your own backyard.  And with recent studies indicating that some 15% of children and teens are considered overweight and with another 15% at risk of being so, the convenience we bring to the pursuit of exercise has come not a moment too soon.  Our durable and stylish sports flooring makes a great addition to any backyard, as well as a wonderful incentive for kids to get off the couch and back into the game of life.

Making the leap from the couch to the court can be a bit of a shock to the system, but our specially designed courts made from built-in Flexion can help cushion the impact and make the transition from sedentary child to active child a smooth one.  Our surfaces were designed specifically to reduce stress and fatigue and to absorb impact, preventing injuries and soreness and encouraging your child to stay active as he or she begins to see results.  What a great way to nurture a love of sports and physical activity within your child; one that can last a lifetime.

Life habits are established at a very early age, and that includes the exercise habits we carry with us for a lifetime.  What better way to promote exercise as a way of life than to make it fun and most of all convenient at such a formative time of life?  Help your child begin the process of leaving the remote controls and joysticks in the dust.  Most of all, promote family fun in a truly unique and inviting environment.    You might just re-discover your game there too, and once you do it will always be close by!
