Roller blades on outdoor court?

My son from time to time roller blades on an outdoor court. I have seen no ill effects from this but someone told us that this will ruin the court?

Roller blades on outdoor court?
souns dangerous to me, and ues it would ruin the court
Reply:it will because it will cause cracks in the court and it takes a lot of money to repair them
Reply:I would imagine that anything that comes in contact with the tennis court surface would wear it down - except for the members%26#039; fuzzy balls.
Reply:It would depend on the surfice. eventually it will wear away but they want the courts to last as long as it can.
Reply:That %26quot;rule%26quot; is normally put in place by the club or the Public Parks and Recreation Department because they don%26#039;t want bikes and rollerblades on the court due to the fact that skids and overall riding can hurt the integrity of the bounce of a tennis ball, which the courts are really made for. I helped with the resurfacing the tennis courts at my high school, due to people riding bikes, rollerblading and weather related cracks, and it was about $30,000 to have all 8 of our courts repaired. Because the cost is so high, both rollerblading and biking are frowned down upon because tennis players don%26#039;t want to have to drop $30,000 (less for a smaller number of courts) before they really have to.


Rollerblade wheels are usually clear and you can%26#039;t see the residue that it creates, but it still has an effect. Sidewalks are the best for rollerblading.
