Apollo 3×3 basketball · Enlio performance pathway

3×3 basketball courts for homes, schools, parks and community spaces — backed by Olympic-proven flooring.

Apollo can structure compact 3×3 basketball projects around Enlio performance flooring, hoop systems, lighting and supporting court equipment. The format works particularly well where a full basketball court is not practical, from premium residential backyards to schools, clubs and public recreation spaces. Enlio supplied the 3×3 court surface at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, while its FIBA 3×3 court-surface partnership now extends through 2034.

09Material
Homogeneous TPEBoth supplied SES sheets identify TPE as the material and describe elastic modular construction.
10Drainage + grip
Textured modular surfacePublished structure descriptions emphasise fast drainage, anti-slip performance and elastic connections for expansion and contraction.
11Hoop system
Enlio project-specific rangeApollo can match the court with Enlio 3×3, competition, hydraulic, fixed or other suitable hoop/stand pathways around site and level of use.
12Lighting
Optional court lightingAnti-glare project pathway available where evening play is required.
13Supply model
Kitset / supply-onlyLocal base works and installation can be separately scoped.

Final court geometry, hoop specification, clearances, foundations and compliance should be confirmed for the intended use and destination. Wet-condition limitations shown in the supplied laboratory reports must also be considered when selecting the exact surface for an outdoor project.

Independent test evidence

Independent laboratory reports for SES Elite and SES Battle III.

These reports are tied to the exact tested samples and configurations. They are stronger evidence than a marketing claim, but the FIBA laboratory reports themselves explicitly state that they are not certificates of approval.

FIBA 3×3 & Outdoor Basketball Equipment · 25 Nov 2021

SES ELITE · FIBA 3×3 Level 1 laboratory test

The laboratory report records a PASS for the tested SES ELITE sample and states that the submitted samples met all requirements for FIBA product certification. The report itself is not a Certificate of Approval.

  • Force reduction 37% · vertical deformation 0.7 mm
  • Ball rebound 100% · dry slip resistance 98
  • Wear 280 mg · dimensional stability 0.83%
  • Water permeability ≥150 mm/h
  • Wet slip resistance 35 — report states not suitable for wet conditions

Laboratory reports apply only to the tested samples and stated construction. They do not automatically transfer to another model, colour, backing, substrate or installation. Apollo confirms current governing-body approval/certification separately before a tender or competitive specification is finalised.

Residential 3×3 court concepts

A compact basketball court can be designed as a serious part of the landscape.

These concept visuals show how a dedicated single-hoop 3×3 court can work in premium residential and compact-site settings. The 15 × 11 m example is a planning concept rather than a universal governing-body dimension; final geometry, line markings, runoff, hoop position and clearances are confirmed against the intended level of play and available site.

Compact-site planning reference

A useful starting footprint for early residential or landscape planning, shown with a single hoop, key, three-point arc and perimeter space. Final dimensions remain project-specific.

Integrated into the outdoor environment

Dark modular surfacing and restrained linework allow the court to sit comfortably within a designed backyard rather than feeling like a separate commercial facility.

Single-hoop court geometry

The aerial view helps project teams assess how the key, arc, baseline and surrounding access can be composed inside a constrained site.

Concept imagery is for planning and visualisation. Final base construction, drainage, court dimensions, line markings, hoop foundations, setbacks and safety clearances must be confirmed for the actual site and intended use.

Project fit

A smaller basketball format can unlock sites that cannot support a full court.

Olympic-proven platform

Enlio's 3×3 flooring pedigree gives premium projects a direct link to the surfaces used at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 without implying every community court needs an elite event specification.

Residential backyards

A dedicated single-hoop court can turn an underused lawn or paved area into a compact recreation zone without requiring a full-size basketball footprint.

Schools

Useful for active break-time recreation, PE and community-access programmes, with surface choice matched to actual use and budget.

Parks

Compact basketball can complement pump tracks, play areas and other public recreation infrastructure.

Clubs

A dedicated 3×3 area can add a different programme format without replacing full-court basketball.

Multi-sport precincts

Court surfacing can be coordinated with adjacent pickleball, netball or futsal areas.

Lighting

Evening operation can be considered early so pole locations and electrical scope do not conflict with the court.

Global supply

Modular flooring and project equipment can be consolidated for international shipment where suitable.
