C&C Courts designed and installed a compact 30-by-30-foot backyard basketball court for the Loeb family in Menomonee Falls, WI. The family wanted a dedicated place where their young daughters could learn basketball away from the streets bordering their corner property.
Corner-lot setbacks and limited open lawn ruled out a larger court footprint. C&C Courts developed a square layout that fit beside the family’s existing wooden play set while limiting excavation and concrete requirements. The finished court included a height-adjustable basketball hoop and a multi-sport rebounder for tennis, volleyball and soccer practice.
Key Takeaways

- THE APPLICATIONA 30 by 30 foot Sport Court surface was built featuring an adjustable basketball hoop and a multi-sport rebounder net.
- THE RESULTA safe, cost-effective outdoor athletic area was created for year-round family play.
A 30 by 30 foot dimension was selected to fit within corner lot line setbacks while providing 75% of a standard high school three-point arch. To maximize utility on a smaller footprint, the team added a ball rebounder net for tennis, volleyball, and soccer passing drills, alongside an adjustable basketball hoop capable of lowering to five feet.

Designing Within Corner Lot Setbacks & Budgets
The usable portion of the Loeb property was limited by its corner-lot layout, nearby streets and the family’s desire to preserve open lawn. C&C Courts positioned a 30-by-30-foot concrete pad within the available buildable area and beside the existing wooden play set.
The square footprint reduced the amount of excavation, base preparation, concrete and court tile required compared with a larger rectangular court. It also allowed the family to retain lawn around the existing play area.
Installing the Adjustable Hoop and Multi-Sport Rebounder
The court featured a branded Sport Court in-ground basketball system. Equipped with height-adjustment mechanisms, the hoop lowers down to five feet, allowing young children to develop proper shooting mechanics and dunk safely.
"Adjustable basketball hoops will lower all the way down to five feet so kids of all ages can practice effectively and dunk. If you can stand and jump, you can dunk." - (Alec, C&C Courts Inc. - Sport Court Wi)
A heavy-duty ball rebounder net was installed along the perimeter boundary. This multi-sport accessory returns tennis balls, volleyballs, and soccer passes automatically, keeping solo practice sessions active and contained. Explore full design possibilities with our interactive court builder tool.
