Spring has officially sprung! If you’re just as excited to go out and hit the tennis courts as we are here at National Sports Products, it’s time to inspect your court and equipment for any needed repairs. Regular maintenance that keeps the courts looking pristine for the spring and summer seasons is vital for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a tennis newbie, or simply don’t know where to start, we have the resources and equipment you need to serve up some court envy all season long.
Court Cleaning
No matter what kind of surface you’re working with, a good spring cleaning is essential to having a tennis court that both looks and feels like it’s ready for your next match. If you play on a hard surface, removing leaves, dirt, and debris should be your first step in seasonal maintenance. Make sure to repair any cracks and retouch court lines to ensure optimal gameplay. It also might be time to apply a new coat of acrylic. For the best hard tennis court maintenance equipment on the market, check out our selection of court dry rollers, brooms, and more here.
If you’re working with a clay tennis court, a regular sweeping and watering routine is also a must. However, make sure you’re not watering too much or too little, as this can affect the quality of play.
Cleaning, Securing, or Replacing Windscreens
Windscreens for tennis courts do the important job of reducing wind and airflow when playing outdoors, while offering you and your fellow players a sense of privacy during the match. If your tennis windscreen is still in good condition, be sure to give it a good wash to get rid of any excessive weather-related gunk and pollutants. It is ideal to perform this step with a low-pressure watering hose to prevent any damage to the windscreen. This is also a great time to replace any broken tie wraps before the season commences. It would be a shame to go through all the meticulous trouble of cleaning the windscreen just to have it whipping in the wind and disrupting your winning match.
Any tears or imperfections in your tennis court windscreen can have negative implications on the quality of play and the privacy you are awarded. However, if your windscreen is looking a little worse for wear, have no fear. As your leading sports equipment supplier, National Sports Products offers a series of top-of-the-line windscreens for your outdoor tennis court. If you think it’s time for a replacement, find the perfect windscreen to fit your needs here.

As you’re going through your to-do list of maintenance tasks, be sure to include the inspection, repair, or replacement of any essential tennis court equipment including but not limited to:
