Kingswood Primary School: Basketball Court Upgrade for Indoor and Outdoor Play
Basketball courts within a school can serve very different purposes.
Outdoor courts are exposed to weather, heavy daily use and limited opportunities for ongoing maintenance. Indoor courts have different requirements, where traditional nets and performance hoop systems can be more appropriate.
A recent project at Kingswood Primary School in Dingley Village, Melbourne provided a good example of how the INFINET range can respond to both environments.
The school's outdoor basketball courts were rejuvenated with FINLINE™, while the indoor courts provided the setting to showcase our new ORIGIN™ and AIRFLEX™ systems and the broader options now available to schools.
Rejuvenating the Outdoor Basketball Courts
Like many school courts, the existing outdoor basketball facilities needed a solution suited to constant exposure and regular student use.
Traditional woven nets can work well when they can be regularly maintained and replaced. In outdoor school environments, however, that maintenance isn't always practical. Nets can deteriorate, disappear or simply remain missing once they fail.
For Kingswood Primary's outdoor courts, FINLINE™ with FinTech™ provided a more durable, low-maintenance approach.
FINLINE™ for Outdoor School Courts
FINLINE™ is the evolution of the original INFINET hoop and net system, developed specifically for demanding outdoor environments.
Rather than relying on a traditional woven or chain net, its proprietary FinTech™ system uses flexible polymer fins to provide movement, sound and ball feedback as the ball passes through the hoop.
The complete system combines FinTech™ with a robust steel hoop assembly engineered for long-term outdoor use.
For schools, this means the court can retain the experience and feedback of playing with a net while reducing the maintenance and replacement issues that can leave outdoor hoops bare.
Indoor Courts Have Different Requirements
A low-maintenance outdoor system isn't necessarily the answer for every court.
Where traditional woven nets can be maintained, they remain an excellent option - particularly for indoor basketball.
At Kingswood Primary, the indoor court provided the ideal environment to demonstrate the other side of the new INFINET range: ORIGIN™ and AIRFLEX™.
ORIGIN™ - The Traditional Hoop, Re-engineered.
ORIGIN™ is our fixed basketball hoop system, combining robust Australian-made construction with a traditional woven-net playing experience.
Built around a 20mm solid steel rim, ORIGIN™ also incorporates SwishLock®, our engineered net attachment system designed to improve net retention and reduce abrasive wear at the attachment points.
For schools wanting a traditional fixed hoop for indoor courts, maintained outdoor courts or other sporting spaces, ORIGIN™ provides a straightforward, durable option.
AIRFLEX™ - Performance, Engineered.
For environments where a performance breakaway hoop is preferred, AIRFLEX™ adds our engineered breakaway technology to the range.
The system is designed to provide a controlled response under force while considering durability, reliability and serviceability over the life of the hoop.
AIRFLEX™ can be configured with either SwishLock® and a Premium Woven Net, or FinTech™, allowing the system to be specified according to the court environment and its requirements.
One School. Different Court Requirements.
The Kingswood Primary project demonstrates something that has become increasingly important as the INFINET range has developed: there isn't one basketball hoop system that's right for every environment.
An outdoor school court exposed to weather and constant use has different requirements from an indoor stadium or performance court.
FINLINE™ addresses environments where traditional net maintenance is difficult.
ORIGIN™ provides a robust fixed hoop with the familiar woven-net experience.
AIRFLEX™ provides a performance breakaway option.
Together, they allow schools to choose a system based on how and where the court is actually used.
Designed and Manufactured in Australia
INFINET hoop systems are designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia.
Across FINLINE™, ORIGIN™ and AIRFLEX™, the approach remains the same: robust materials, practical engineering, serviceable components and products developed around long-term use.
The result is a range that can now support basketball facilities across more areas of a school - indoors and out.
