Blacktop Basketball Court located in Johnston, RI.

6'7" SnapSports NorthEast President, Craig Bryden busy painting! I know I shouldnt be painting but I LOVE to paint. It is my passion! That is why I love my job!


Done! Well not really because bounceback shocktower tiles will be on the court in Late September!



This customer named Thomas found my SnapSports postcard in his mailbox one weekend when I was in RI for one of my son s AAU Basketball tournament in Portsmouth, RI. He called the day after receiving my postcard. We met at his pizza restaurant for an appointment. He was very interested getting a court in possible in Sept but wanted me to paint 3 point lines on his existing blacktop court first. The rain kept us off the court for few weeks. Finally today I called Thomas to see if he was ready for me to come to paint the lines? We came and painted the lines and Thomas liked it very much the way I did with 3 point lines. Thomas asked us to come to his restaurant for dinner after we were done. We had pizza and the pizzas were great! Thomas told me that he wanted me to stop by again in September because he is ready to deposit to get bounceback shocktower tiles for his existing blacktop court!!! I cant wait to go back for more pizza! Of course I am looking forward installing his court soon! Oh yea Thomas gave me permission to leave my SnapSports post cards on the counter for his customers to take!

Gould's 30 x 50 Court Update

Steve removed one of the stumps.


30 x 50 Court graded and ready for Concrete pour!


Beautiful Concrete Court!


Gregory Gould's Court is getting there! My concrete contractor, Steve did a great job. He did every thing what Town of Windsor told him in order for Gould to get a court for his backyard. He removed 3 stumps and poured a really nice concrete pad! He added sleeves for ball containment fencing/10 x 15 rebouncer and hoop anchor as well. Greg Gould will be adding retaining wall on the back of the court because of the deep slope in his backyard. We should be installing the Bounceback Shocktower tiles and hoop hopefully this weekend if not then next weekend. Also the court will have UConn Logo in the key area! They are big UConn fan like I am!

Sold 30 x 50 Multi Purpose Court to a Deaf Couple!!

SnapSports NorthEast President, Craig Bryden and New SnapSports Customer, Gregory Gould.


I wanted to say big CONGRATULATIONS to Gregory & Diane Gould. They bought 30 x 50 Court with Ball Containment fencing with rebouncer. They will have UConn Huskies logo on their court. They are very exciting about getting a court for their family and friends to use. They have 2 children, Douglas 6, and Nicole 2.

They are the first deaf customers to purchase SnapSports court! SnapSports never had a deaf customer to purchase their court.. I was able to communicate with them using American Sign Language. They felt comfortable with me and I helped them with their court planning especially I helped interpret for Gregory when he had some questions with the tree removal guy.

After Gregory signed the contract, I took him and his son out to Pizza restuarant for dinner! It was a fun day! Right Gregory? :-)

We will install their court in mid July. We will take a picture of the whole family on their court when it is finished and post the picture in this blog.. Stay tuned...


SO who is next????? You better make court appointments with me soon before I get booked in july and august! It takes 3 to 4 weeks to get a court build...

And - it looks great in the yard!! Best of luck and continued success in your business and with your family... The Spagnola's, Galway, NY

Craig and his crew did a great job installing our new sport court. It's been a huge addition to our home. All of the children in the area use it all of the time year round. In fact this past winter we froze the surface and skated all winter. Thanks for a great product at a very good price. Michael C. Wilmington, Ma

Craig worked with us a few years ago and to this day we absolutely love our court. Craig was reliable and easy to work with. He was patient while we were making decisions and helped guide us with our choices. We appreciated his hard work and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and his family while and after the work was done. Carla and Kevin L. Westford, Ma

Craig, thank you for the wonderful court. You did a fantastic job getting this project finished as promised. It was promised to be perfect and that is how it ended up. Trust me, I am a perfectionist and Craig delivered. He is an honest and hard working guy who kept me very well informed all along the way. I am glad that I made the decision to go with him. Thanks again Craig for meeting your promise and delivering a perfect court. My family and I thank you. Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference! Ron L. from Easthampton, Ma

Bill, Danny, Ryan and I love our new court. Not only have we played lots of basketball so far, we've also been using the rebounder net for soccer and baseball practice! Ryan, who is 3 years old, has been wheeling around on his big wheel non-stop. So far the court is everything we hoped for. Craig and his crew did a great job installing the court in some brutally hot weather and it came out fantastic. Everyone who has seen it in the neighborhood has said, "Wow!" So, our thanks go out to Craig for doing such a top notch job. If you're ever in Dudley, MA feel free to stop by for a game of "HORSE!" Bill and Janet B. from Dudley, Ma

Peter Lynch will play for Middlebury College next year!

I received an e mail from Peter Lynch's mother, Carla this morning. Carla and Kevin Lynch are very exciting about Peter playing for Middlebury College next year. Middlebury College is NCAA Division 3 college located in Middlebury, Vermont.

I remembered Peter clearly when I went to Lynch's house for court estimate appointment 3 years ago. He was a really tall kid! He was an easy going kid. I knew he had the talent when he played against me one on one on their court! He was tough to beat!

As noted in the Newenglandrecruitingreport.com, Middlebury College has added Peter Lynch to the fold for next year. Lynch is a do it all type of role playing forward in the mold of the Boston Celtics’ Brian Scalabrine. He’s a physical interior presence, an extremely hard worker on both ends of the floor, and someone who doesn’t need a lot of shots to impact the game. Simply said, he’s the kid of guy who helps his team win.

I wish Peter the best of luck playing for Middlebury College! I am proud to announce that Peter is my first customer that will be playing for NCAA Basketball team!

How to develop your kid to be one of good basketball players in your town?

Daron Bryden # 11 Point Guard/Shooting Guard for AAU 4th Grade Middlesex Magic.


Hello friends,

My oldest son Daron who just turned 7 last month is already a good basketball player... I hate to brag but when he played for East Windsor 1st Grade League. He was the best player in the league averaging over 18 points. Even the director of the league went up to me and said that he should be playing in 2nd/3rd grade league even he is in first grade. A lot of parents thought Daron was not 1st grade because of his skills. They moved him to 2nd/3rd grade league.

Daron is currently playing for Under 10 4th grade AAU Middlesex Magic team near Boston, Ma. He is the ONLY 1st Grader on the team. Middlesex Magic Director said it is hard for first grader to play for 4th grade AAU team. I am so proud of him! He plays with Eddie House's son. Eddie House plays for Boston Celtics! The practice is every Friday and Sunday. The ride to practice weekly is very tough but I kept saying to myself that it is worth the experience for my son to play with bigger and better players. The drive is 1 hour 20 minutes each way! Daron never complained about the long drives. He is having a ball and loves to be with good players. Every friday when I get home from work, he is all ready to go to practice with his practice jersey on!!!

He is improving, getting stronger and gaining more confidence. He speaks up during the game. He was very bashful in the beginning. I am really proud of him!!! He has matured a lot the last 2 months when he joined the AAU team in Feb. Daron is going to have a busy summer playing two basketball leagues (Hartford, CT and Wilbraham, MA) then Starts football in August! I am looking forward teaching my next son Jaxon and daughter, Mikaela how to play basketball soon!


Tips how to get your children to be good at basketball:

1) Get a SnapSports Court for your backyard for your children to play. Court sizes do not matter. Even 20 by 20 Court is still good enough! Daron has 26 x 36 Court in his backyard.

2) Teach and coach your children how to shoot and dribble. If you do not know how to coach basketball, feel free to ask me. I have experiences coaching basketball for 6 years so far.

3) Spend a lot of time playing with your children on your SnapSports Court! Also make sure you tease and play around with your children so they would enjoy basketball a lot!

4) Get your children in K/1st grade league to get started if possible.. Have your kid try out for AAU team if you think he or she would be good enough physically. Tip: Daron was ready physically with bigger kids because he played football with full pads last year which helped him!

Hope it helps! Free free to post comments or ask questions, I would be more than happy to help you!
