Omnisports: Durability, Design, Performance and Safety
TK Volleyball Finds the Winning Combination with Their New Sports Floor
For athletes who play volleyball, to perform at the highest level they need a sports floor that meets the challenge.
TK Volleyball needed a new facility to accommodate the demands of the Roswell, GA community. They required a centralized location as well as a facility that was large enough to handle their growing business. After choosing the right location, they turned their focus on the most important aspect of their new facility – the sports floor.
TK Volleyball athletes play 10 to 15 tournaments a year and practice daily to perfect their skills. Their old sports floor did not provide adequate shock absorption, comfort or safety, which are necessary for repetitive motion activities like jumping, diving and rolling. As a result, many athletes suffered injuries, such as Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee), and experienced long-term, lingering effects.
Their new sports floor had to combine durability, design, performance, and safety; withstand continuous foot traffic; and fit their budget. Optimism soon grew into frustration as none of the products they researched met their demands. But they were determined to find the right floor for their new facility.
The Solution for TK Volleyball
Tarkett Sports’ Omnisports 7.1 mm in golden and red maple exceeded their expectations

"These athletes go to 10-15 tournaments a year in their teenage years and they're playing on concrete floors with plastic court on it. They're just taking rep after rep and everything's a jump, everything's a dive and a roll. This takes its toll. Once they’re in College, they’re 17-18 years old, having to go to physical therapy every day; their knees are shot, their shoulders are shot, they’re just tired.”
— Timothy W. Sanchez, Director of Facilities and Technologies at TK Volleyball
"This floor is awesome, it’s amazing, it’s resilient, you can play volleyball on it all day. We get more compliments about the flooring than about anything else. Everything we did here was evaluating the safety of the athlete long-term. That is what drove us to choosing Omnisports at TK Volleyball."
