If you dont want any places to sit or anything fancy. Just paint the lines in and set up a net. You can play on grass, concrete, almost anything, as long as its relitivly flat.  get some chalk or some paint and do the meauring. You could have your own court anywhere (as long as you have a net).

It depends on what area of the country you're in.  Here in central PA we're looking at $130 a square foot for new construction.

Fromouth Tennis in Pennsylvania can sell you one and ship in one day.  If it is no rush I would just pick up World Tennis and look in the back.  If you are not in the industry it is going to be expensive.  So The magazine has  a lot of competing salesman.

Building might be $150/sq ft to build. Teachers...figure at least $50k a year in salary and another $15 or so in benefit cost...per teacher. Property costs? Well, that is really up for grabs.\nHeating and cooling?? figure $10k a month.\nInsurance? I have no idea.\n\nHow big a building will you build? And, why aren't taxpayers supporting it?

It really depends on the area. Usually it will cost less if you buy the land, but not always the case.\n\nFor instance, in Orland you could get about twice the size of house if you bought the land and built the house. The reason was they were not being built inside of a community and the builders were not adding to the cost of the land to make more money.\n\nJust be careful and make sure to get a really good contractor to take care of everything for you.

A good tennis racquet can cost anywhere between $60 to $300, depending upon what you want out of it. Since you are just starting, I would not spend money on the most expensive racquet. I would recommend hitting with several different types to see which one fits you best. As funny as it sounds, I would recommend going with a more traditional frame. This will improve your sense of touch, so you don't depend upon the racquet. A traditional frame is thinner than all these wide body monsters. In addition, it flexs, so you can understand shot control and spins. Head makes a decent model in the iRadical. Once you develop some touch, then you can choose a different racquet for more power or stiffness. However, you will lose other aspects during this shift. Once you get comfortable with a certain racquet design, it will be difficult to switch to other types. Most pros still prefer the traditional flex design, i.e. Agassi and Federer. Others like Nadal and Roddick embrace the stiffness of Babolot wide bodies.

The tennis court can be confusing to novices. I've frequently been asked what all the lines mean by those who don't understand what's going on. All tennis courts, regardless of the surface, are 78 feet long (or 23.77 meters long). The useable width of tennis courts changes depending on the game being played. That is, if doubles is being played, the court is 36 feet wide (or 10.97 meters)--or until the outermost lines. While, if singles is being played, the court is 27 feet wide (or 8.23 meters)--or the lines that are just inside of the doubles lines. Furthermore, if singles is being played, the net is lifted up by "singles sticks" that are placed at both ends of the net to lift up the net and simulate the 3'6" that the net should have at the singles lines (whereas, the net should only be 3 feet high in the middle).\n\nThere is one case that we should examine to clear up any possible confusion. There are a few tournaments that don't have a doubles component. Some of these tournaments don't have doubles lines on the court (some of the year-end singles tournaments in Munich were like this), and so the court looks different and the net isn't as wide as it is on a normal court. These courts are the normal 78' x 27' as the singles lines on any other court, but since there are no doubles lines the court appears to be narrower than normal. But don't worry, the court is the right size.\n\nAnd so, to directly answer your question, the dimensions of tennis courts don't change with the surfaces; a singles court on clay is a singles court on grass, and a doubles court on concrete is a doubles court on carpet.\n\nI hope this helps!

There are a lot of variables that you have to take into consideration, like who will be the general contractor, taxes, permits, etc.  The one thing that I can tell you is that the cost would probably be extremely high.  Palm Beach has some of the most expensive land in the state, I am just guessing but you can probably expect the lot itself to cost at least 200 grand.  Then you will have to buy the blueprints and have cop pies made of them,  maybe about 600 dollars.  After that you have to have a foundation poured, about 3 to 4 thousand( plus anywhere from 30 to 80 dollars extra per square foot for a basement).  Add to that the total for materials for rough framing,  somewhere in the area of 20 to 50 thousand.  Then the finishing materials,  anywhere from 20 to 120 thousand depending on how nice you want ot make the place.  Then you have your contractors.  The framers will be somewhere in the 20 to 80 thousand dollar range.  Then you have the electricians, plumbers, drywallers, the floor guys, the siders, painters, trim carpenters, and landscapers.  All this adds up to a ton of money.

I suggest that you go to the parks and recreation department for your county and go by the guidelines that they use to build their courts.  They are usually very helpful.

You need a tenant homeowners policy with probably a computer and jewelry floater attached.  \n\nYour best bet is to contact a local, independent agent, and sit down with them to figure out how much this is going to cost you.

Here is a website that is VERY helpful.  It is Familyhandyman.com.  Pick a home plan you like, plug in your zip code, and it will give you a cost to build for your area.  All for FREE!  Good luck.

It can be very expensive to start your own club, especially if there isn't another close by. A set of curling stones can cost around $7000 US. You can use hockey/skating ice, but it takes some expertise in getting the rink right. Good Luck!!

Accept no one's opinion on the selection of a tennis racquet! Instead, find a local tennis shop that has the widest variety and availability of loaner tennis racquets, and try them yourself.\n\nSome tennis shops have the liberal tennis racquet loaner policy of allowing you to pay $15 to try any and all tennis racquets, without limit, for 2-3 days, but only 3 racquets at a time in order to be fair to other players who want to try racquets.\n\nAt the end of your trial, the tennis shop applies the $15 to your purchase. Please understand that tennis shops who offer this convenient policy usually charge more for their racquets.\n\nI feel it behooves you to buy your initial racquet from these merchants rather than buy online for less. However, after you've made your initial purchase, I also feel it's fair to purchase additional racquets online.

Dependent on what kind of equipment and things you will be offering, I would say shoot for 8,000-15,000 square feet of space.  This will allow you enough room for locker areas, restrooms, workout areas, etc.  Of coarse, you know best as to what you plan on offering, so you may need to go up to 20,000+ square feet.  Just rememeber the more square footage, the more money on overhead in base rent.\n\nTo locate commercial rental space or a building to purchase in Wilmington, you have a number of options.  The Delaware MLS can usually be found by doing a simple search online, and is usually free to access.  www.LoopNet.com is another great resource, but it costs money to use.  LoopNet will let you search by square footage you need, what type of building, and will give you the contact information to reach a commercial realtor who represents a property of interest, or who could represent you in finding a suitable location. \n\nWhen you do find some properties of interest, be sure to contact your local Planning and Zoning department and verify if they will allow your type of use in the building's zone.  Every retail or service use has a different code (For example B-1, C-2), and certain zones only allow certain types of business.  Don't ever sign a lease without looking into this.\n\nAs for what you can expect to pay per square foot, it depends on what type of property you're looking at.  Retail space within a shopping center can be anywhere from $7-$40+ per square foot, dependent on the area, what other cotenants are in the shopping center, etc.  A freestanding building can have similar rental rates.\n\nHope it works out for you!

Go to the Bldg & Planning (and Zoning) Dept. in your jursidication and find out the produres and fees involved in subdividing a piece of property.  There will be minimun lot size requirements and a survey required, so keep that in mind.  Also, once the property is subdivided, there are alot of fees to consider, depending on what you intend to do with the lots. Don't forget about utilities, ingress & egress and storm water management. Do your research first.
