NGI Sports

What NGI Sports does

NGI Sports, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a privately held manufacturer and installer of sport surfaces for tennis, pickleball, basketball, track, bocce, shuffleboard, and soccer. The company designs, develops, and installs all-weather overlays, synthetic grass systems, and clay-court alternatives, with a portfolio spanning the TitanTrax overlay family (Shield, Xtreme, Air, PK, CPR, and Rally Series 100/300/500), the ProSeries synthetic grass line (ProCourt, ProAdvantage, ProKramer), the NovaBocce range (Classico, Raffa), and clay systems (ProClay, ProAussie Clay). Its core technology centers on patented crack-bridging overlay systems, thermally and dimensionally stable backing layers, and cushioned surface architectures that enable resurfacing over existing damaged courts without demolition. ProAdvantage is marketed as the world's only true dual-cushioned court system, while ProClay's patented substructure reduces clay-court maintenance and watering to roughly one-quarter of traditional levels.

The business operates on a project-based, custom-quoted revenue model, selling surface systems and installation services directly to end customers (residential homeowners, municipalities, schools, universities, churches, and community organizations) and through specification partnerships with architects, planners, and builders nationwide. GTM is split between direct-to-consumer sales and enterprise field sales via construction professionals, supported by channel partners such as Lineberry Tennis LLC and Ace Sports Surfaces. The company claims 25,000+ surfaces installed since 1991 across five named segments, with recent product launches (Rally Series, TitanTrax PK, ProAussie Clay, TitanTrax CPR) targeting the high-growth pickleball and track markets. Leadership is family-run, with Mike Burke as VP Marketing and David Burke as VP Sales, and the firm maintains a headcount of 1-10 employees, indicating a lean specification-and-distribution model that relies on subcontracted installation labor.
