I think it is possible but with schools you are still going to run into the issues of damaging the floor. Springs scratch bottom surfaces i.e. waxed basketball courts. This is one of the main reasons that stages are set up or as you see carpet rolled out underneath. I'd love to see a simple spring floor just like I'm sure any EP would LOVE. It comes down to cost, I just don't see the cost working out, but good luck!
What about this system? Foam Block Spring Floor
ive used a foam block track, its not as springy but is the same effort to put out it slots together like laminate flooring
I'm not sure if this would fold up as tight as those fences if there were springs attached, also it'd be quite tall/wide as it would only fold in 1 direction but it could be lighter if something other than wood could cover it, if you had a free wall and could get permission you could maybe attach one side to a wall and the just pull it out like pulling out a sofa bed, although I guess most people want a portable one.
I was imagining 9 6 foot wide sections that expanded to 42 that could attach side to side.I'm not sure if this would fold up as tight as those fences if there were springs attached, also it'd be quite tall/wide as it would only fold in 1 direction but it could be lighter if something other than wood could cover it, if you had a free wall and could get permission you could maybe attach one side to a wall and the just pull it out like pulling out a sofa bed, although I guess most people want a portable one.
my teams issue is we have a sprung floor but it's the one from the London Olympics so the gym owner promptly banned us from wearing trainers to protect it (he cleans it by hand he's that protective although I can see why) so we no longer stunt in trainers apart from on a small area of none sprung floor one stunt group at a time. but it's such an amazing gym nowhere else could compare so we're stuck

From my experience, at least an hour.
apologies for taking this a little OT but we had a similar problem, our solution was for the kids to keep their trainers in the gym in lockers and for them NEVER to be worn outside. Even all the gym coaches have 'gym shoes' that they keep and wear inside the gym only.I'm not sure if this would fold up as tight as those fences if there were springs attached, also it'd be quite tall/wide as it would only fold in 1 direction but it could be lighter if something other than wood could cover it, if you had a free wall and could get permission you could maybe attach one side to a wall and the just pull it out like pulling out a sofa bed, although I guess most people want a portable one.
