Why Build Squash Courts?

U.S. adopts the International Squash Game

Until recently, squash in the United States was played with a "hardball" on an "American" court that measured 18'6" wide by 32' long. In the past decade, the "International" game played with a "softball" has been adopted in the U.S. The International Court is larger and measures 21' by 32'.

The NCAA and prep leagues have switched to the International game and as a result, U.S. players are becoming increasingly competitive on the world front. In addition to new construction of International sized courts, schools and clubs continue to convert their American sized courts to meet the International specs.

Doubles squash is also seeing a new popularity as evidenced in the immediate success of the IDSA pro tour. Baby boomers particularly enjoy the Doubles game as it is less physically demanding then Singles. The Doubles Courts measures 25' by 45'.

International Singles Court

Over 122 countries are members of the World Squash Federation, which is actively lobbying for inclusion of Squash in the Olympic Games.

Squash is included in the Pan Am and Commonwealth games.

The USSRA is the governing body of squash in the U.S. and is an excellent information source on the game for your area.
