The call for safety in sports is everywhere. The NIAA (National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association) writes in its Guide to Interscholastic Athletic Administration: “Liability can be a major issue for sports facilities...there are three main areas of potential litigation…
1. Problems exist with the initial design and facility construction or installation and any subsequent renovations. 2. The actual facility usage differs from the purpose for which the facility was designed. 3. Hazardous maintenance issues and facility conditions resulted from failure to inspect for and identify potential problems and rectify them.”

Indoor sports safety is a growing concern, especially when facility design, usage, or maintenance creates hidden risks. The NIAA highlights that many injuries and legal issues come from poor construction, using spaces beyond their original purpose, or failing to fix hazardous conditions. Whether you’re building a new indoor facility or managing an existing one, addressing these risks early is critical. Just like in Among Us, overlooking small problems can lead to big consequences—making smart safety solutions like Grand Slam Safety’s SPECTO Sport Fencing Systems essential for long-term protection.
