court surfaces

Court surfaces are the materials used to create the playing area for sports like tennis, basketball, or volleyball. Common types include hard courts (concrete or asphalt with a smooth coating), clay courts (made from crushed brick or stone, offering slower play), and grass courts (natural or artificial grass, providing a softer, faster surface). Each surface affects gameplay, ball bounce, and player movement differently. For example, clay courts slow down the ball and provide high bounce, while hard courts are faster and more predictable. The choice of surface can influence strategies and skills required for the game.
