At Gallant Sports & Infra Ltd., we design and install volleyball court flooring for indoor and outdoor courts across India. Founded in 2016 in Gurugram, Haryana, we have completed approximately 800 sports infrastructure projects, and we build volleyball courts to the dimensions and line markings set by the FIVB, the sport’s international federation.
Volleyball is a game of landings. Every spike and block ends with a player coming down hard on the same stretch of floor near the net, again and again across a season. If the surface doesn’t cushion that impact, knees and ankles take it instead. If it turns slippery with sweat or rain, players stop committing to the quick moves the game depends on.
We work with schools, universities, academies, and housing societies on indoor and outdoor courts, handling everything from base preparation to final line marking.
Volleyball court flooring is the surface system built for the way the game is played: repeated jumping, sudden lateral movement, and players going to ground to keep a rally alive. Unlike basketball, the ball isn’t meant to bounce here, so the floor’s job is mostly about the player. It has to cushion a landing and still give reliable grip on the next step.
Indoor and outdoor courts ask different things of a surface. Indoor courts prioritise shock absorption and consistent grip over long sessions. Outdoor courts also have to get through Indian summers and monsoons without losing their footing or their colour.
The level of play matters too. A school or housing society court has different requirements from a venue hosting FIVB competitions, which need a larger playing area, more overhead clearance, and an FIVB-approved surface.
A cushioned, non-slip surface that protects players during jumps and landings, and a popular choice for indoor courts and sports halls. It is also straightforward to clean and maintain. Gallant Sports is the exclusive distributor for Enlio PVC vinyl sports flooring.
A smooth, hard-wearing surface with good shock absorption, suited to indoor courts that see heavy daily use.
A weatherproof synthetic grass surface that is softer underfoot than a hard court, which helps when players land and go to ground. Installed on an engineered base with net posts and volleyball line marking.
A modular tile system that installs quickly and drains well outdoors. If a section wears out or gets damaged, it can be replaced without redoing the full court.
Schools and colleges need courts that can handle daily PE sessions and inter-school matches across age groups, without the surface becoming a maintenance burden.
Sports academies and clubs want a consistent, well-cushioned surface for players who train on it several hours a day.
Housing societies add volleyball courts as a shared amenity, since a court needs far less land than a football or hockey field.
Corporate campuses include volleyball courts as recreational space for employees, often marked alongside other sports on a multi sport ground.
Gallant Sports has completed approximately 800 sports infrastructure projects in various states across India. Our volleyball work includes an outdoor court at Christ University’s Kengeri campus in Bangalore, laid in 40mm CCGrass artificial turf with FIVB line marking. We have also built volleyball courts at Atlantis School in Tirupati and Sparsh Global School in Greater Noida as part of wider multi-sport campus builds.
We handle site assessment, surface recommendation, civil coordination, and installation as one team, so schools and facility managers aren’t juggling separate contractors for base work and flooring.
Cushioned, non-slip PVC vinyl is a popular indoor choice because it protects players during jumps and landings. PU flooring is a strong alternative for courts with heavy daily use. The right choice depends on budget, usage, and the level of play the court needs to support.
Artificial turf and PP interlocking tiles both work well outdoors. Turf is softer underfoot, while PP tiles drain well and can be replaced section by section. We recommend a surface after reviewing the site and how the court will be used.
A volleyball court is 18m x 9m, with a free zone of at least 3m on all sides. That brings the total area to 24m x 15m, with a minimum clear height of 7m above the playing surface. FIVB World and Official competitions need more space on all sides and 12.5m of clear height.
We build volleyball courts to FIVB dimensions and line marking. FIVB approval applies to specific surface products and matters most at FIVB World and Official competitions, which require an approved surface. If your court needs to meet that level, we confirm the product documentation on a per-project basis before installation.
Cost depends on the surface chosen, the court area, and the base work your site needs. Share your site details and we’ll prepare a quote after a site assessment.
Yes. A volleyball court fits within the footprint of a full basketball court, so one surface can carry markings for both, along with removable net posts. This is a common setup where land is limited.
Yes. We have built volleyball courts in cities including Bangalore and Tirupati, and our team travels for site assessment and installation across India.

Reduces the impact on knees and ankles from repeated jumping, which matters most on courts used daily by younger players.
A consistent surface keeps footing secure through quick direction changes and landings, including on outdoor courts after rain.
Volleyball needs clear space around and above the court. For indoor courts, check the hall’s ceiling height before choosing a surface.
Outdoor courts need a properly prepared base and a surface that holds up through sun and monsoon rain, so the court is ready to use soon after the weather clears.
