The Sports & Recreation facility industry is facing some stiff challenges from several fronts.  

Strong competition from alternatives like gyms and fitness centres, as well as trends toward outdoor pursuits like bicycling, walking and running, are driving revenues down and threatening the future of some indoor facility business.  

Furthermore, operators also have to face high maintenance costs to keep their operations running.

On a positive note, Sports Australia has already acknowledged the importance of growing healthier school children through sport and other physical pursuits.  

Groups working to promote sport at the grassroots level are also saying that early age junior sports is booming in games such as Australian rules, cricket, football, netball, aquatic centres and basketball.    

Operators who diversify their facility offerings have a far better chance to survive tough times until the industry picks itself up again.

In the Sport & Recreation facility industry, renovation and construction may be too expensive for operators.  

That is why many of them are turning to simple, adaptable solutions using portable dividers and partitions for sporting facilities instead.    


Multiple uses can optimise revenue

Multi-use spaces will optimise sports facilities revenue potential.  

The ability to offer a venue for multiple activities will draw more people to a facility, thereby increasing its revenue.  

Multi-use areas will also promote the more efficient use of other resources like electricity and water.

  • Repurpose your facility for more sport offerings
  • Evaluating the internal and external spaces will help operators work out what they already have and what else they can offer at the facility.

    The walls and floors of the facility must be strong enough to withstand the new sporting activity.   The interiors must also be sufficiently large to accommodate different activities at the same time.

    Rescheduling activities allows operators to accommodate more groups thereby maximising their earning potential.  

    Existing facilities may be able to meet some demands but sports facilities operators may want to consider other flexible space options like room dividers and partitions for sports to maximise their space potential.  

    The easiest way to achieve ‘clear zones’ between two different sports at the same time is the use of room dividers.  

    Sports facilities use movable walls to separate both activities so players and spectators can have the best experience of the venue. A movable sports room divider placed across the courts will double as a scoreboard for teams.

    Sport facility dividers are more affordable and flexible than fixed wall options. 

    Room dividers for sports facilities are collapsible and can be easily ‘wheeled in and out’ to the courts.  Divider walls for sports facilities come in many shapes and sizes to cater for any type of adaptable space configuration. Room dividers with doors make excellent temporary dressing rooms for different sports teams while horizontal panels are good for crowd control.  

    • Diversify your business into other income streams

    Sports facilities have large roofed areas that are ideal to host events and functions.  

    Opening up the facility to individuals and businesses to hire the venue for events can create a new income stream for the operations.  

    A sporting venue can be easily turned into an exhibition hall, a polling centre, an indoor community market or a training space by using room dividers.  

    Sport facility operators use dividers to segment smaller areas to run multiple activities at a time. Room dividers and partitions for sports are excellent camouflage to discreetly cover equipment and excess furniture.
