One sport or several: an air dome has no fixed limit on the number of sports it can cover. Tennis, football (soccer), basketball and fitness activities can share one roof. At CENTAURY+, every dome is designed and manufactured to order. You decide what you want to cover and how you want to use the space; we design the dome around your requirements.
Imagine tennis courts next to a basketball court. One dome can cover both where the dimensions and layout allow. Alternatively, it can cover a single court used for different activities throughout the day. The dome provides the enclosure. You choose how to use the space inside.
Multiple courts under one roof
A multi-sport air dome does not mean everyone has to share the same playing surface. It can enclose separate courts or activity zones, each with its own surface and equipment. Tennis training can take place on one side while another group plays basketball or exercises in a separate area.
Depending on the space available, possible layouts include:
- Tennis courts and a fitness zone for warm-ups or separate training sessions.
- A football pitch alongside a basketball court, each with a surface suited to the sport.
- Several smaller activity areas for a school, club or different training groups.
These are examples, not the only combinations a multi-purpose sports dome can cover. The layout should let groups use their areas without getting in each other's way. For ball sports, suitable divider nets and walkways outside the playing areas can help keep activities separate.
One court, different sports throughout the day
The other option is a shared playing area: a school might use it in the morning, a sports club in the afternoon and recreational players in the evening. Multi-use courts can help fill quieter hours and attract a wider range of users. The results depend on local demand and how the facility is scheduled and managed.
Here, the surface and equipment make the difference. A suitable multi-use court can accommodate basketball, volleyball and fitness sessions at different times. Switching activities means changing the equipment and using the relevant court markings. Not every surface suits every sport: football turf, for example, is not a basketball floor.
The distinction is in the sports facility beneath the dome, not in the enclosure itself. Sports that need different surfaces can occupy separate zones. Activities suited to the same surface can take turns on one court.
A dome designed around your sports facility
For an existing facility, we start with the court layout and site conditions. For a new development, we plan the sports areas and their enclosure together.
The dome's length, width, height and entrance positions are designed around your project, whether it includes one sport or several separate zones.
Both approaches involve site preparation, anchoring, entrances and connections for the dome's operating systems. Our air dome installation guide explains the process, while our guide to air-supported domes covers how the structure works.

Multi-sport air dome: frequently asked questions
One or several; there is no fixed number. A dome can enclose separate courts or one shared area used for different activities. The layout depends on the space, surfaces and equipment those sports need, and activities must not damage the membrane.
Yes. The design takes the existing dimensions, court layout and site conditions into account. Preparation also includes anchoring, entrances and connections for the dome's operating systems.
No. Separate zones can have different surfaces. Where activities share a court, its surface and equipment need to suit the sports planned for it.
Yes. A dome can be designed for a prepared open site, with the sports layout planned alongside the enclosure. It does not have to cover an existing court.
