The Premier Basketball Gym in Central Jersey

The state-of-the-art Monroe Sports Center Gym is the premier basketball gym in central Jersey.

The Monroe Sports Center features two regulation size basketball courts (84' x 50'), each with two main baskets and two additional baskets along the side. All four baskets on each court are attached permanently to the ceiling and can be retracted as needed. The height of the side baskets is adjustable from 8 to 10 feet. All baskets are college breakaway baskets with large glass backboards.

Video Recording

High tech video cameras record all the action in the gym. Each court has two TPZ (tilt, pan and zoom) cameras — one on each end. In addition, there is a fifth TPZ camera that sits between the courts allowing one of the courts to have a total of three cameras recording from all angles.

Videos of all action (games, practices, lessons, coach's clinics, camps, etc) can be easily downloaded onto DVDs. Monroe 33 will keep all video recordings in its computers for 7-10 days so everything in the gym is available to be downloaded onto a DVD up to about a week after the event. 

Scoreboards & Shot Clocks

There are four scoreboards on the wall. Two are large scoreboards with team name(not  home and visistor) score, time, possession, period, team fouls, and last player foul. The other two large scoreboards have score, quarter, fouls, possession and time.

The basketball courts feature NBA style shot clocks on the four main baskets with both game clock and shot clock. Orange LED light strips on the main baskets light up when time expires on either clock.

Dividing the Courts

The courts are divided by a curtain that is solid up to 8 feet and mesh above that. The 8 foot solid curtain reduces noise and other distractions between courts. This state-of-the-art curtain is controlled electronically and can be raised to the ceiling. Additionally, each court has another electronically controlled curtain that divides the court into halves.

Viewing Area

Overlooking the entire gym is a large mezzanine (90' x 12'), great for viewing with theatre style permanent seating with cup holders. The mezzanine includes team areas with  tables and chairs,  and vending machines. There is also an additional lobby area that overlooks the gym with tables and chairs, and a 54" tv that plays live the games being played in the gym.

Other Amenities

There is a separate gym entrance for the basketball courts, as well as locker rooms. Water fountains and ice machines are also available inside the gym.

The sports center features ultra-modern air conditioning and heating with a state-of-the-art air filtering system.
