MaxAir named official trampoline partner for SlamBall courts

MaxAir Trampolines has been announced as the official trampoline supplier and co‑founder partner for the SlamBall League, supplying purpose-built beds and safety systems tailored to SlamBall's unique court geometry. That partnership aims to boost player hang time, standardize court performance, and make installations easier for trampoline parks and operators interested in adding SlamBall courts.

The company chose lighter-weight string beds to generate more lift and responsiveness, then matched those beds to custom frames sized to the SlamBall footprint. Standard configurations for a SlamBall court use eight custom beds: six standard 7'×14' beds and two larger 10'×14' beds positioned where players need extra launch area. To equalize rebound across varied bed sizes, MaxAir uses a combination of spring extensions and tighter springs so tension and bounce feel consistent from bed to bed.

Safety received equal emphasis. MaxAir supplies tapered safety spring pads and custom landing pads engineered to absorb high-impact landings common when players mix basketball moves with acrobatics. The pad shapes and materials are designed to reduce impact at the edges and throughout the transition zones between trampoline frames and court deck.

The design decisions respond to what makes SlamBall distinct: an athletic spectacle that blends basketball, acrobatics, and trampolining, where dunk attempts, long throws and aerial contests drive play. High-level rules supported by the equipment include four 5-minute quarters, throw-ins and bounce-offs to restart play, a 15-second shot clock to keep tempo fast, and a scoring system that differentiates two-point throws from three-point dunks and long throws. The standardized trampoline layout and safety features aim to preserve the sport's signature big-air plays while reducing injury risk and making replication across venues simpler.

Operators and trampoline parks considering a SlamBall court can request installation quotes and custom sizing from MaxAir. The supplier positions itself to support buildouts with tailored beds, tuned spring systems, and pad packages that fit both the performance needs of players and the flooring constraints of parks.

Our two cents? Operators: verify court geometry and timing rules before ordering so the beds and spring setups match your footprint. Players and event organizers: expect sharper, more consistent bounce and friendlier landings that let dunks and aerials look as good as they feel. If you’re thinking about bringing SlamBall to your venue, talk specs first and focus on tension and pads—those are what make the bounce both exciting and safe.
