Ever dream of turning your backyard into the ultimate sports hub? The Thomas family in Helotes, Texas, just outside vibrant San Antonio, did exactly that—and the results are nothing short of spectacular!
For 20 years, kids have honed their basketball skills on a trusty acrylic half-court. But as The Thomas’ family grew, and the love for sports deepened, they knew it was time for an upgrade. Their vision? A full-sized court that could handle basketball battles and the booming popularity of pickleball, all while becoming the go-to practice spot for their kids’ Helotes little league teams.
A Court with Character: Overcoming the Elevation Challenge
Transforming an existing space isn’t always a slam dunk. The Thomas family’s existing court came with a unique challenge: a 4-foot elevation change. But at Grand Slam Courts, they love a good challenge! Their team expertly added new concrete to the existing slab, seamlessly integrating the elevation and creating a smooth, level playing field.

More Than Just a Court: Building a Community Hub
This wasn’t just about adding square footage. The Thomas family wanted to create a space where their kids could thrive, where teammates could bond, and where memories could be made. They envisioned a place where the sounds of laughter and the squeak of sneakers filled the air, a true home-court advantage.
