How to Rent a Basketball Court in Markham and Plan Your Game

Basketball court rentals allow players to reserve indoor space for a set period. Booking a basketball court at Can Sports Center in Markham includes half-court rentals for $80 per hour and full-court rentals for $130 per hour at the published member rates. Players can make reservations online and must wear proper indoor basketball shoes.

Renting a Private Basketball Court in Markham

You have a group of friends who want to play basketball. Everyone agrees on the day, but finding a court that fits your plans is another story. A public court is a good choice, but perhaps not the best one, because you cannot always count on having the space when you need it.

That is where basketball court rental in Markham comes in. When you have a court reserved, everyone knows where to go and when to arrive. This way, you can spend less time looking for an open space and more time playing.

Sports also bring people together. Statistics Canada reports that 55% of Canadians aged 15 and older took part in at least one sport in 2023. Among those who played sports, 54% said spending time with friends was one of their reasons for participating. 

At Can Sports Center, you can choose between a half-court and a full-court. That gives you more freedom to plan a game around work, school, or other commitments.

The first decision is simple. Now, you have to think about how many people are coming and how you want to use the court. Once you have that figured out, choosing a rental option becomes much easier.

What Basketball Court Rental Options Can You Choose?

At Can Sports Center, you can compare the two options before you book a basketball court.

What to compareHalf courtFull court
Member rate$80 per hour$130 per hour
Non-member rate$88 per hour$143 per hour
Maximum group size8 to 10 people 18 to 20 people

Cancellation notice24 hours3 days

These are the published hourly rates for members and non-members. You can check the booking page for current availability and confirm the applicable rate before making your reservation.

Choose a half-court if your group has fewer players and does not need the entire space. But if you have a larger group and want everyone to play in the same space, a full-court will be a better choice. 

Neither option is automatically the right one for everyone. If you have eight friends coming, a half-court may be enough. If your group grows to 18 or 20 players, a full-court gives you more room for your game.

How Does Basketball Court Booking Work?

At Can Sports Center, you can book a basketball court online, rather than spending hours making arrangements over calls, and work through all the details before you visit for your game.

Here is how the process works.

Decide on the court – Count the players and choose a half-court or full-court. It helps to settle this before you look at times.

Open the booking page – Visit our Make a Booking page to select your required basketball court option.

Choose a time – Go through the available slots and select the one that works for your group. Although our facility stays open around the clock, you still need to ensure your preferred time is available. 

Check the cost – Review our hourly rate and work out how much the session will cost. Full payment is due when you book, so check the cancellation terms before paying. Now is the time to divide the total among all the players if you are sharing the expense. 

Read the rental rules – Give a quick look at our cancellation terms before you confirm the reservation and make the payment. 

Get ready to play – Bringing proper indoor basketball shoes is a must. Also, you must change into them in our designated area before entering the facility.

That is the basic process. If you have any questions, connect with our team at +1 647-963-3999. 

What Should You Consider Before You Rent a Basketball Court?

Here are a few details that can make a difference between a well-planned game and a last-minute scramble.

Your budget – If you have a larger group, splitting the cost may make the rental easier to manage. Our full-court costs $50 more per hour than our half-court at the published member rates. 

Your group size – Our rental terms allow up to 8 to 10 people on a half court and 18 to 20 on a full court. We suggest keeping these limits in mind when inviting players.

Your schedule – Since we are open around the clock, our facility gives you options beyond the usual evening hours. That said, check the booking calendar for available slots and choose a time that suits your group.

Your cancellation plans – We understand plans can change suddenly. However, our rental terms require 24 hours’ notice to cancel a half-court reservation and three days’ notice for a full-court reservation. Eligible cancellations may receive a booking credit or refund, subject to the applicable processing fee. Please note that same-day cancellations are not eligible for a credit or refund.

Your reason for playing – Our basketball court rental is intended for recreational use. But if you are planning a tournament or another event, contact us beforehand to discuss your plans.
