(PRUnderground) December 17th, 2025
Institutional Sports Equipment (ISE) is a leading provider of commercial-grade sports equipment. The company works with schools, recreation centers, churches, and private facilities in procuring durable sports equipment and wall padding. Owner Tom Nicotera recently helped Calvary Church in Stockton, CA, complete a significant upgrade to the basketball courts, which included the replacement of the church’s aging wall padding behind the basketball hoops. The new wall padding, which covers more wall space and closely follows wall contours, offers increased safety and durability for both the church’s youth sports programs and their regular recreational activities.
An expert in sports equipment made for heavy use and high-intensity play, ISE owner Tom Nicotera has over two decades of experience helping churches like Calvary Church find the right equipment for their unique facility. With ISE’s carefully procured inventory of adjustable basketball hoops, durable volleyball nets, impact resistant gymnasium wall padding, and more, churches and other organizations can create the best possible environment for their members where safety and experience are paramount. The project at Calvary Church demonstrates how ISE brings value to its clients, informing design and materials decisions to make facilities safer and more functional.
“I’m honored to help Calvary Church enhance their gym with new wall padding that both serves their safety needs and elevates the overall quality of their recreational space,” said Nicotera. “For clients, the task of choosing durable wall padding that meets safety standards and stays within budget can be a weighty responsibility. I pride myself in making that process easier and delivering solutions that blend function and aesthetics seamlessly.”
Wall padding is a crucial element of any indoor sports court, especially in multi-use spaces like those found in churches. The wall padding at Calvary Church will protect players from impact and physical contact with walls throughout the space, reducing the risk of injuries. The high-quality wall padding from ISE, which now spans the length of the wall behind the basketball hoop, is made to absorb the force from accidental collisions. Even during the most intense moments of play, everyone remains safe.
As more community organizations recognize the need for updated safety equipment in their sports and recreational spaces, Institutional Sports Equipment is committed to leading the way with tailored, durable solutions.
