Hardcourt

A hardcourt is a surface that is used for playing sports, like basketball and tennis. It's called a hardcourt because it's made of hard materials like concrete or asphalt. When you play on a hardcourt, it can feel different than playing on other surfaces because the ball bounces differently and you might slide a little bit when you run.

Think of it like a sidewalk or a driveway, but it's painted with lines so that you can play sports on it. Just like you might ride your bike or skateboard on a sidewalk, you can play sports on a hardcourt. And just like you might have certain shoes for riding your bike or skateboard, players wear special shoes for playing on a hardcourt to help them grip the surface and move around better.

So, if you're ever watching a tennis or basketball game and you hear someone say "hardcourt," you'll know that they're talking about the surface that the players are playing on!
