Episode Details

Birmingham is pouring $4.19 million into brand-new and upgraded athletic courts across city schools—building 14 fresh outdoor courts and revamping 18 existing ones to get kids moving, playing, and learning sports fundamentals. Using durable VersaCourt modular tiles that last up to 20 years, each court will feature school colors, multiple game lines, and even playground zones. City leaders say it’s long overdue, with Council President Wardine Alexander and Mayor Randall Woodfin calling it a vital investment in student health and well-being. Beyond recess, these courts will also serve as teaching spaces for sportsmanship, safety, and conflict resolution. Part of a $45 million capital plan funded by Jefferson County taxes, exact locations and construction dates are still being finalized—but students are eagerly waiting to hit the new courts.
