As demand for pickleball, multi-sport, and outdoor recreation facilities continues to grow across the United States, two companies are working together to bring a more consistent standard to court construction. CORTZ, a fast-expanding national brand focused on court resurfacing and new builds, has partnered with AT Sports, a long-established surfacing & court solutions manufacturer recognized for its durable, high-performance systems.

The sports surfacing sector has traditionally relied on a wide range of independent providers. With this new partnership, CORTZ and AT Sports aim to introduce greater uniformity, scalable service, and predictable performance—priorities that many facility managers and developers say the industry has needed for years.

CORTZ’s growth in recent years has been driven largely by the rise of pickleball and steady demand for tennis and basketball facilities. The company has expanded both through increased project volume and a growing franchise network. CORTZ attributes much of its momentum to a focus on consistent processes, clear communication, and long-term court quality.

AT Sports brings decades of surfacing expertise to the partnership. The company is known for developing systems that offer reliable performance, color consistency, and long-term durability. As the official surface of the PPA, AT Sports products have been tested at the highest levels of competitive play and are used widely in facilities across the country.

“The partnership with CORTZ represents an opportunity to support a brand that is raising the bar for the industry,” says Brad Carroll, President of AT Sports. “Their installers take pride in delivering courts that not only look great but perform consistently. That aligns perfectly with how we engineer our surfacing systems.”

A key part of CORTZ’s strategy is ensuring that quality remains consistent as the company expands. Through its franchise program, CORTZ provides structured training and standardized installation systems designed to elevate professionalism in the court-construction trade.

For HOAs, developers, municipalities, schools, and private facilities, this approach offers clearer expectations and more predictable outcomes—an increasingly important factor as demand accelerates.

“We’re focused on delivering courts players want to come back to,” says David Klembith, Owner of CORTZ. “Partnering with AT Sports gives us the confidence that every project, from coast to coast, uses surfacing materials engineered for high performance.”

Together, CORTZ and AT Sports aim to bring a new level of reliability to a market expanding faster than many anticipated. With facilities racing to install new pickleball courts, update older surfaces, and meet player expectations, the need for durable materials and consistent installation practices continues to grow.

As CORTZ adds more franchise locations and increases its project capacity, the partnership with AT Sports helps ensure a unified standard across all court types—from residential pickleball courts to large multi-court municipal complexes.
Both companies say the collaboration is rooted in shared values: improving court quality, expanding access to reliable surfacing solutions, and proving that growth and consistency can go hand in hand.
