Court Types
International Singles
An International squash court measures 21' wide by 32' long and requires a minimum ceiling height of 18' 6" for lighting. An optimum design would allow for ceiling/lighting height of 20' as a lob ball off the front wall (15' high out of bounds height) will have less chance of hitting the ceiling and the striker losing the point.
The choice of Court Wall System will be decided based on the owner's preference and budget. Anderson Courts will guide owners on the benefits of each system and work with architects and General Contractors in areas of layout, floor transitions, lighting, colors, and overall budget costs. Specifications and details will be provided as well for Flooring and Glass Walls.

Hardball Doubles can be very competitive and exciting to watch in all ages groups especially at the professional level. For information on the Professional Doubles circuit and tournaments, refer to www.isdasquash.com.
There are two World Squash Federation sanctioned games of Doubles Squash. Hardball Doubles has been the primary Doubles game in Canada and the United States for since the early 1920's.

Anderson Courts & Sports Surfaces has been supplying and installing Fiberesin panel since 1987 without a panel replacement related to wear and play.

Flooring for Racquetball Courts
Anderson Courts has slightly altered the specification of our Interflex cushioned maple floor system for a racquetball floor. The spec is firmer than a squash court floor but still provides the same air flow and preventative humidity qualities.
Glass Walls for Racquetball Courts
Standard glass back walls are 8' or 12' high, in either the 12" glass fin or post system. In addition, Anderson Courts can also fabricate your glass wall or window design as required.
Wallyball kits and Storage boxes can be supplied and installed by our crew.
