Backyard Basketball/Hockey Court

I've read a bunch of posts, but most of them a decade old... I'm looking at building a 25 x 35 ft backyard basketball court/hockey rink. As of now, the area is just dirt. I know I will have to level the area first and foremost. My main question is: should I concrete it? I've looked at a number of different sport court resources (https://www.ultrabasesystems.com/court-panel.html, https://zsfloortech.com/sport-court/roller-hockey-rink/) and would love to go this route, but couldn't afford both these and concrete. Is it possible to use these types of products without concrete underneath? If so, what should go underneath? Any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/ajones10 [link] [comments]
