Encore Resort at Reunion Basketball Court
Encore Resort at Reunion Basketball Court facilities give guests the chance to play basketball without leaving the resort. Encore currently lists a full-size basketball court at its East Side Amenity Center, alongside a practice half-court near the clubhouse and wider sports facilities including tennis, volleyball and soccer.
For families with active children and teenagers, this can be a genuine advantage.
Firstly, not every day of an Orlando holiday needs to involve Disney or Universal.
Additionally, having sports facilities within the resort gives children and adults another way to spend a quieter day.
Meanwhile, your private villa provides somewhere to return to afterwards.
Therefore, the basketball court can form part of the wider Encore Resort experience rather than being a standalone attraction.

Encore’s current sports information describes the East Side basketball court as full size.
Additionally, its published sports FAQ describes that court as approximately 94 feet by 50 feet, matching standard NBA regulation dimensions.
For most holidaymakers, the important point is simple:
This isn’t merely a small hoop positioned beside a swimming pool.
Instead, Encore provides a dedicated basketball facility for recreational play.
Therefore, families travelling with basketball-loving children or teenagers may find the court considerably more useful than a token resort sports feature.
Do You Need to Bring a Basketball?
Not necessarily.
Encore’s current sports information states that basketballs are available from the clubhouse for guests.
Therefore, you don’t necessarily need to pack a ball into your luggage.
However, availability could potentially vary.
Consequently, if basketball is an important part of your holiday, check the current equipment arrangements when you arrive.
Encore Resort at Reunion Basketball Court for Families
Families with older children and teenagers may get the most value from the basketball facilities.
After all, teenagers don’t necessarily want to spend every resort day sitting beside a pool.
Instead, they may want something more active.
For example:
Morning: basketball at the East Side Amenity Center.
Afterwards: return to the villa for lunch.
Afternoon: private pool.
Later: water park or another resort activity.
Therefore, the sports facilities can help create a full resort day without leaving Encore.
Additionally, younger children can use other nearby facilities while older children play basketball.

Encore Resort at Reunion Basketball Court for Teenagers
Teenagers can be one of the hardest age groups to plan for on an Orlando holiday.
They may love the theme parks.
However, they may also want some independence during quieter days.
Basketball gives them another option.
Additionally, Encore’s wider sports offering includes soccer, tennis and volleyball.
Therefore, active teenagers have several ways to spend time outside the villa.
Meanwhile, other family members can enjoy the pool, water park or resort facilities.
Consequently, everyone doesn’t need to do the same activity simultaneously.
What Other Sports Are Available at Encore Resort?
Basketball is only one part of Encore’s sports offering.
Encore currently lists:
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Tennis
- Beach volleyball
- Fitness facilities
Its current sports information also describes two tennis courts, two basketball courts, volleyball courts and a full-size soccer field. (Encore Reunion)
Therefore, Encore can be particularly attractive for active families.
For example, one family member might play basketball.
Meanwhile, another group could play tennis.
Afterwards, everyone can meet back at the villa.
This flexibility becomes especially useful when several families travel together.
Encore Resort East Side Amenity Center
The East Side Amenity Center deserves its own mention because the basketball court sits within a larger recreational area.
Encore currently lists:
- Full basketball court
- Beach volleyball
- Splash pad
- Pavilion
- Seating
- Two BBQ grills
The pavilion can accommodate up to 40 people according to Encore’s current promotional information.
Therefore, the East Side facility can work particularly well for extended families and groups.
For example, children can use the splash pad.
Meanwhile, teenagers play basketball.
Adults can sit around the pavilion.
Consequently, several generations can use the same area without needing identical interests.
Encore Resort Basketball Court vs Water Park
These aren’t competing facilities.
Instead, they complement each other.
| Basketball Court | Water Park |
|---|---|
| Active sport | Water-based recreation |
| Good for teenagers | Good for wider family |
| Shorter activity possible | Can fill much of the day |
| Team play | Slides and pools |
| No major theme-park trip | Resort-based activity |
| Part of sports facilities | Major Encore amenity |
Therefore, a good Encore resort day might involve both.
For example, play basketball during the morning.
Afterwards, spend several hours at the water park.
Then, return to your private villa pool.
That variety is one of Encore’s biggest advantages for families staying several nights.
Encore Resort Villas Near the Sports Facilities
Location within Encore may matter if your family expects to use the basketball court regularly.
Therefore, use the Encore Resort Interactive Map before choosing a property.
However, don’t select a villa purely according to its distance from the basketball facilities.
Instead, consider:
- Bedroom count
- Private pool
- Games room
- Themed bedrooms
- Villa quality
- Location within resort
- Distance to facilities
- Group size
The best-positioned property is not necessarily the best property for your group.

Encore Resort Basketball Court for Sports Groups
Encore can also be interesting for groups travelling with a strong sporting interest.
For example, a youth sports family might want somewhere with additional recreational facilities outside scheduled events.
Similarly, groups of friends may simply want somewhere they can play together during the holiday.
Encore’s current official information specifically positions its sports facilities for families, groups and sports-oriented travellers.
Additionally, large vacation homes allow the whole group to stay together.
Therefore, the resort can combine:
Accommodation + private pool + sports facilities + theme park access.

Encore Resort Basketball Court for Non-Theme-Park Days
This is arguably where the amenity provides the most value.
Disney and Universal days can be long.
Therefore, many families intentionally plan slower days during an Orlando holiday.
For example:
Monday: Magic Kingdom
Tuesday: basketball, pool and Encore water park
Wednesday: Universal Orlando
Thursday: villa and resort day
Friday: EPCOT
Consequently, your accommodation gives you something to do without purchasing another major attraction ticket.
For Disney-focused accommodation research, browse Orlando Villas Near Disney.
Meanwhile, Universal visitors can explore the Universal Orlando Guide.
Basketball and Private Pool Days at Encore
Private pools make the sports facilities even more useful.
For example, teenagers can play basketball during the morning.
Afterwards, everyone returns to the villa.
Then, the group can spend the afternoon beside the private pool.
Therefore, you can combine active and relaxed parts of the holiday without leaving Encore.
This can be particularly useful for parents.
Rather than planning another external activity, everything can happen close to home.
Browse our Private Villas Encore Resort or Luxury Villas in Encore Resort.
Is Encore Resort Good for Active Families?
Yes, particularly if your family will actually use the facilities.
Encore currently promotes basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, fitness facilities and a water park alongside its vacation homes.
Therefore, an active family has plenty of options.
However, don’t pay attention to an amenity simply because it exists.
Instead, ask whether your family will actually use it.
If nobody plays basketball, the court adds little value.
Conversely, if your children play regularly at home, having a court within the resort could be a meaningful advantage.
Encore Resort Basketball Court vs Other Orlando Resorts
Sports facilities can also help you compare Encore against other vacation-home communities.

Therefore, compare:
- Sports facilities
- Water park
- Villa quality
- Private pools
- Bedroom options
- Disney access
