Spring sports thrive in air-supported domes, providing a weather-proof space for soccer, tennis, basketball, volleyball, and cricket—game on, rain or shine!
As the seasons change and the snow melts away, athletes and sports enthusiasts gear up for the arrival of spring. While outdoor play is a welcome transition, unpredictable weather can still pose a challenge for consistent training and gameplay. That’s where air-supported domes come in—offering a controlled environment for year-round sports while maintaining the feel of an outdoor setting.
Here are the top five spring sports that thrive under these domes:
1. Soccer
Churchill Meadows
As Spring marks the return of soccer season, but unpredictable weather can make training and matches a challenge. Air-supported domes provide the perfect solution, offering a dry, wind-free environment where athletes can train and compete year-round.

2. Tennis & Pickleball
Raleigh Racquet Club
As the weather warms up, tennis and pickleball enthusiasts are eager to hit the courts—but spring showers and gusty winds can quickly put a damper on play. Air-supported structures provide the perfect solution, ensuring uninterrupted matches with bright lighting and temperature control for an optimal playing experience.
Predator Ridge
Facilities like Predator Ridge (178’ x 135’ x 42’), designed for pickleball, and the Raleigh Racquet Club (354’ x 118’ x 39’), which accommodates both tennis and pickleball, allow players to enjoy the game in ideal conditions, whether it’s a friendly rally or a competitive tournament.
3. Basketball
Woodbridge Dome
Facilities like our Woodbridge dome (500’ x 200’ x 65’) and Aberdeen Hall (120’ x 108’ x 32’) offer a consistent indoor climate, minimizing weather-related cancellations and keeping the game going year-round.
4. Volleyball
Woodbridge Dome
As volleyball season heats up, players need a reliable space to train and compete—without worrying about shifting weather conditions. Air-supported structures provide the perfect setting for every game, from beach-style rallies to high-intensity league matches. With ample space for multiple courts, facilities like Woodbridge (500’ x 200’ x 65’), which also doubles as a basketball court for ultimate indoor gameplay, are designed to host training camps, tournaments, and community events, ensuring every serve, set, and spike happens in optimal conditions, no matter the forecast.
5. Cricket
Traditionally played outdoors, cricket is a sport that benefits greatly from an enclosed environment in the unpredictable spring season. Air-supported domes allow players to practice batting, bowling, and fielding in a consistent setting, making them an excellent option for cricket clubs and academies looking to extend their training seasons. With customizable space configurations, these domes can easily accommodate full-sized pitches and practice nets. Canadore College (394’ x 217’ x 65’) hosts regular cricket nights at their dome, inviting everyone to get in on the fun.
