Universities & Colleges: FAQs

What does a universities & colleges activation include?

A turnkey universities & colleges activation includes professional rollout courts, nets, and paddles delivered to your venue, full installation, event staff to run play, and complete teardown afterward — all on one invoice. Custom formats and branding are available.

How much does universities & colleges cost?

Turnkey activations start in the five figures — a single-court, one-day activation typically begins around $10,000, and multi-court builds scale into the mid-five and six figures. Cost depends on court count, days, staffing, and optional add-ons like group lessons, a play-with-a-pro session, custom branding, and swag. We return an exact quote within 24 hours — see our cost guide for the full breakdown.

Do you provide staff to run it?

Yes. Professional event staff teach beginners, officiate, and run clinics, round-robins, and tournaments so the court stays active and welcoming for every skill level — which is what makes the activation land.

Can the courts be branded for our company or campaign?

Yes. Courts, nets, and signage can be custom-wrapped with your branding, turning the activation into a content-ready marketing asset that shows up in every photo and post.

How far in advance should we book?

Book as early as you can, especially in peak event seasons. A few weeks to a couple of months of lead time keeps costs down, but we can often accommodate shorter timelines — just ask.
