The Staten Island Basketball League is a 45 year old highly competitive pick up b-ball league playing at P S 8 in Great Kills, Staten Island , New York. We play three times per week 49 out of 52 weeks per year.
The gym is 70 years old and has the original wooden backboards and a wooden floor replaced for the fist time in decades in 2020. The floor is constantly slippery whether it is Summer or Winter.
We have struggled with keeping the floor clean and non-slippery but it has been very difficult. We have reviewed dozens of videos on You Tube as to how other basketball courts are maintained.Based on those videos we have utilized a number of different solutions none of which have worked. We have used a variety of different dust sweepers -dry and wet. But that has not worked. Many of the companies selling gym floor cleaners promote spending hundreds of dollars of special liquids and special mops.
