We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake! He is widely considered the greatest goalkeeper in MLS history. He holds MLS records for career shutouts, wins, saves, and appearances. Nick is considered a legend throughout Utah and from soccer fans across the country.
Nick lives here in Salt Lake and has 2 kids – Benny Rose (9) & Jett Nicholas (11). They have an amazing backyard and wanted a space where they could play and shoot hoops. We helped work with them to design a custom 15′ x 30′ halfcourt to fit in with their existing pool, tree house, patio, and garage. Nick and his family are huge LA Lakers fans (he grew up in California and went to UCLA) so we went with a gray, purple, and yellow theme. As Jazz fans we tried our best to convince him otherwise 🙂
Here is a video and a few photos of the court and installation:
