10-S Tennis Supply & Tweener Lighting Systems

Tweener Lighting Systems, distributed in the United States by 10-S Tennis Supply, provide a practical alternative to traditional pole mounted sports lighting for tennis and pickleball courts. Designed specifically for recreational play environments, Tweener installs directly onto existing fence structures, eliminating the need for concrete bases, tall poles, or complex structural permitting in most cases.

This fence mounted approach allows facilities to extend court hours quickly and cost effectively while maintaining a low visual profile and minimizing light spill into surrounding areas. As a result, Tweener has become an increasingly popular solution for municipalities, schools, HOAs, private residences, and clubs seeking to activate previously unlit courts without the expense or disruption of conventional lighting infrastructure.

Each system is engineered for straightforward installation using standard electrical connections and common tools, allowing contractors and facility teams to complete projects efficiently with minimal site impact. The lighting distribution focuses on the playing surface rather than surrounding property, making Tweener especially effective in residential settings or locations with environmental or zoning considerations.

With installations across parks, schools, and private facilities nationwide, Tweener offers one of the most accessible pathways to adding evening play capacity without overbuilding or exceeding budgets on a court lighting project. For court builders and facility managers alike, it represents a smart balance between performance, simplicity, and long term value.

By maintaining a high-quality of service and customer satisfaction over the years comes a trust that is ever so hard to attain.

“We simply want to be the best at what we do.”

In order to build great tennis courts, you have to start at the bottom with an understanding of soil conditions and converting it to a good base. Laser-controlled road graders enable Century Tennis to build with accuracy.

Building Post-Tensioned Concrete, instead of the old asphalt type courts, are proving to be a great alternative for “crack-free” tennis courts.

Whether it is a hard court with the softness of Deco-Turf or Classic Turf Rubber or whether it is a soft court like Har-Tru or Hydro Court, or a surface that offers a little of both like Nova Synthetic Turfs … Century Tennis can deliver.

The company is a member of the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI). Century Tennis’ building techniques meet and or exceed those of the ASBA and the USTA and with its “Certified Tennis Court Builder” staff assures this quality. The company’s intention is to deliver the very best tennis courts for the most demanding players and tennis club owners.

“Expanding the game of tennis, one court at a time.”
