Surface Systems
Built for the Home
of American Tennis.
AT Sports recognizes the significance of the USTA National Campus and the performance expectations associated with maintaining a facility that serves athletes, coaches, programs, events and the broader tennis community.
Our proposal is built around a straightforward commitment: provide USTA with a consistent hard court surface system backed directly by the manufacturer, supported by technical resources before, during and after installation, and continually evaluated against the performance requirements of the Campus.
We believe the National Campus requires more than a coating supplier.
It requires a surface partner capable of supporting performance, consistency, supply, technical evaluation and continued development across a multi-year resurfacing program.
AT Sports is prepared to make that commitment.

A manufacturer-direct surface program across a multi-year resurfacing relationship.
More than a product.
A campus surface program.
The USTA National Campus presents a unique surface challenge: multiple court environments, two targeted court-pace profiles, recurring resurfacing cycles and a facility expected to perform at the highest levels of American tennis. AT Sports proposes a coordinated manufacturer-direct program built around five commitments.
Performance
Surface profiles developed around USTA's requested court-pace targets.
Consistency
Documented materials, mixing profiles and application standards across Campus court environments.
Supply
Manufacturing and material planning aligned with USTA's resurfacing schedule.
Support
Direct manufacturer technical resources throughout planning, application, testing and evaluation.
Development
An ongoing platform for evaluating emerging surface technologies and future improvements.
Placeholder ImageA campus-scale
surface program.
The National Campus is not a single resurfacing project. It is an interconnected hard court program spanning championship competition, player development, collegiate tennis, indoor play and pickleball. AT Sports' proposal is structured around that scale from the outset.
One campus.
Five court environments.
Control where
it matters.
Manufacturer Direct
Acrytech sports coating systems are manufactured by AT Sports in Canton, Georgia, providing direct access to the company responsible for the products being specified and supplied.
Performance Verified
Acrytech has documented court-pace configurations and independent court-pace testing, including a current ITF Category 3 classification.
Technically Documented
AT Sports maintains system specifications addressing substrate preparation, mixing, application, coverage, court pace, warranty and maintenance.
Built to Develop
AT Sports' product-development history includes laboratory evaluation of mechanical performance, abrasion, weathering and specialized surface technologies.
The value is not simply what is in the pail. It is the system and support behind it.
Built around
the surface.
Since 1995, AT Sports has specialized in the manufacture of sports coatings and materials, cushioned surfaces, portable surfaces, court repair systems and related sports-surface products.
AT Sports manufactures its coatings, surfaces and materials from its facility in Canton, Georgia and distributes products throughout the United States and international markets.
A broader manufacturing platform supporting the complete lifecycle of sports surfaces.
Placeholder ImageFrom formulation
to the finished court.
AT Sports' manufacturer-direct structure gives USTA access to the organization responsible for the Acrytech system itself.
For the National Campus, that creates a direct line between product specification, material supply, technical support and future surface development.
The Acrytech
hard court system.
A documented acrylic surface system configured for the performance requirements of the National Campus.
Acrytech is a colored and textured acrylic surfacing system designed for asphalt, concrete and existing sports surfaces.
The system specification requires work to conform to ASBA guidelines and requires tennis surfaces to be ITF court-pace classified.
System build, top to substrate
Two performance profiles.
Acrytech Color can be configured across Medium and Medium-Fast court-pace profiles through controlled aggregate selection and loading. AT Sports' published Acrytech Color specification includes separate Medium and Medium-Fast aggregate profiles.

Perform court-pace testing using the appropriate testing methodology and equipment.
Document
Record results and maintain a surface-performance history for future resurfacing cycles.
Firefly Sports Testing independently evaluated Acrytech Level 3 and considered the results a valid assessment of the product's court-pace characteristics when installed over a rigid base. AT Sports' specific field-testing equipment and onsite protocol are documented separately.Field Testing Protocol
Performance starts
below the coating.
The performance of an acrylic court surface depends on the condition and preparation of the substrate beneath it.
AT Sports maintains technical guidance addressing concrete design, curing, moisture, preparation and primer compatibility before acrylic coatings are installed.
AT Sports technical guidance references ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170 methods for evaluating concrete moisture conditions.
The surface system begins with understanding the surface below it.
Direct support
at every stage.
Before Installation
During Installation
After Installation
The proposed USTA agreement requires manufacturer technical assistance onsite, technical resources for coating installations, independent PE support, onsite surface testing and access to emerging surface technologies. AT Sports' proposed support structure is designed around those requirements.
When the issue
extends beyond
the coating.
Court performance issues do not always originate in the coating system.
For conditions involving civil or structural considerations, the USTA RFP requires access to the manufacturer's independent PE engineer for civil-work evaluation.
AT Sports proposes incorporating that resource into the National Campus support structure so coating, substrate and civil considerations can be evaluated at the appropriate level.
Consistency
through documentation.
Batch Identification
The Acrytech system specification requires contractors to record the batch number of each product used onsite and maintain that record through the warranty period.
Defined Mixing
Acrytech publishes aggregate, water and product mixing profiles for resurfacer and color systems.
Defined Application
Published guidance addresses coat count, application method, drying time and environmental limitations.
Material Estimating
AT Sports provides material-estimating tools to support project planning and product quantities.
For the National Campus, AT Sports proposes organizing these records into a repeatable court-by-court surface history supporting future resurfacing cycles.

racquet sports.
AT Sports' surface partnerships extend across nationally visible racquet-sport competition environments.
These relationships require more than product supply. They place surface consistency, event schedules, athlete expectations and presentation under heightened visibility.
A Professional Pickleball Association partnership letter identifies Acrytech as the official surface of the PPA Tour and describes AT Sports as an integral partner in maintaining the playing surface throughout the Tour.
Tennis remains the primary proposal context.
Planned around
the campus schedule.
The National Campus requires a surface partner capable of planning beyond individual orders. AT Sports proposes coordinating manufacturing and material availability around USTA's scheduled resurfacing cycles so product requirements can be anticipated rather than treated as isolated transactions.
The USTA RFP requires a working manufacturing schedule based on a March 1, 2027 surface-construction start. The proposed agreement also establishes significant ongoing supply and delivery expectations.
Ready for
March 2027.
Plan beyond
the next resurfacing.
The National Campus includes court groups with different resurfacing frequencies and operating requirements. AT Sports proposes maintaining a rolling surface plan that connects each factor into one documented record.
The objective is to create a documented surface history that makes future resurfacing cycles more predictable, consistent and easier to manage.
Direct access to the
people behind the program.
The USTA account structure should provide direct access to the functions responsible for the product, technical decisions, production and ongoing support. Each confirmed team member will list name, title, years of relevant experience and specific USTA responsibility.
Accountability
at every stage.
The National Campus should not need to navigate multiple layers of vendors to resolve a surface question. AT Sports proposes a direct manufacturer relationship with defined responsibility from specification through ongoing surface evaluation.
Documented
product warranty.
AT Sports warrants that Acrytech products conform to product specifications and are free from defects in material and workmanship for two years, subject to the terms and conditions of the published warranty.
