Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) March 6, 2010 — SnapSports, the world’s leading manufacturer and provider of outdoor multi-courts and sports surfacing, continues their association with the United States Futsal Federation as the exclusive and official flooring of the USFF. The agreement was signed at the FUTSAL national championships this year where SnapSports provided over 100,000 square feet of athletic surfacing.

“We are proud to have been chosen as the only approved surface worthy of Futsal competition by the USFF,” says Jorgen Moller - CEO of SnapSports.

Futsal players from around the world will continue to compete on surfaces, specially designed by SnapSports, which will protect them from injury while providing the speed and response the game requires.

Futsal is a five-a-side version of soccer which is played on basketball-sized courts. The sport traces its roots to the 1930s and is today played worldwide. Futsal is currently experiencing explosive growth in the US. The US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) and US Futsal signed an agreement in August of 1995 to promote Futsal in all National State Associations as their game of choice for indoor soccer. Many American soccer coaches use Futsal to train athletes, especially in the off-season.

Asked why they switched from their previous modular surface provider, Alex Para, CEO of the US Futsal Federation, said “We wanted to work with SnapSports because of the quality of their designs and because their floors are easy to install. Futsal demands a lot and SnapSports provides it, plain and simple.”

We’re really proud to be a part of this sport. See what it’s all about here: USA Team Handball Finals

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) January 2, 2010 — The first ever Big Apple Team Handball (http://www.usateamhandball.org) Tournament will be held on January 2nd through the 3rd and will feature US National Club champions, New York City Team Handball, in a game against a star-studded cast of European professionals. The six-team tournament will feature five of Germany’s top professional teams and is being held in the US to build awareness of the sport.

Team handball, as it’s known in the US, is played in 159 nations by 39 million people. It is an Olympic sport which bares more in common with soccer and basketball than American handball. Teams of seven players play two 30 minutes halves and attempt to get a ball, about 8″ in diameter, past a goalkeeper. Games often score into the 30s.

Games will be played on a custom “ShockTower” surface by SnapSports, the official flooring provider for USA Team Handball.

The event, to be held at Park West High School in Manhattan, will consist of two-day tournament capped by an all-star game featuring Germany’s best players against the US National champions.

SnapSports Inc. was awarded two US patents for their DuraCourt and BounceBack sports surfaces. The first patent covers the multi-level, slip-resistant surface of the DuraCourt flooring. The second applies to the lateral locking and Dual Suspension® systems of the BounceBack flooring.

“We believe we make the best modular sports flooring available today. Our unique patented designs have exceeded the expectations of our customers all over the world,” said Jorgen Moller, CEO of SnapSports.

BounceBack, a ¾” flooring system, has the highest shock-absorption rating of any modular sports tile. Its ShockLock® and Dual Suspension® systems allow for greater impact stability and support heavier rolling loads. The under-structure of the BounceBack provides a “cush” effect and increases ball response in sports like basketball and volleyball.

DuraCourt, a 5/8″ tall outdoor modular sports surface, is more rigid and impact stable for multi-sport games like inline hockey and tennis.

SnapSports®, the world’s largest manufacturer of premium athletic surfacing and game courts, will introduce their BounceBack ShockTower® court surfaces to the parks and recreation industry at the 2009 Recreation and Park Association’s Annual Congress.

The event will be held in downtown Salt Lake’s Salt Palace  Convention Center. A half court basketball court will be featured in the center’s reception area and a full outdoor court will be displayed outside the convention area.

“We make it our mission to stay on the leading edge of our industry.
