Expert Guidance
Our preferred company is COURTDesigns Australia. They offer a 5 year warranty
for the glass walls and 5 years for other elements of the squash court.
COURTDesigns Australia builds complete squash courts in new or existing
buildings, all glass show courts as well as all glass walled club courts.
They retro-fit front walls to solve on-going plaster or panel issues, and
install glass backs to open up those corridors. They also install height
adjustable tins, sprung sports floors, sand floors and paint your walls.
Building could take as little as two days to retro-fit a glass front wall
or ie: two weeks for two complete courts causing minimal down time on
business operation.
Portfolio
"Glass courts are the only real consistently true squash courts around the world that display the game of squash the way it is meant to be played. Courts made of other materials unfortunately can make even professional squash matches look very average as they're not as punishing as glass courts. I think it's a brilliant idea to make regular courts with all-glass walls, I believe it's the only way to make a true world class squash playing facility."

- Former World Champion, Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist and World No 1"I like the consistency of the bounce and the ability to turn older style courts into current tour level courts."
HAPPY SQUASHIE
"Sarah needs no introduction, I can confidently say that whatever
I am today is because of all the hard work she's put in with me
during our sessions.
I remember when I started playing squash the
only name I knew was Sarah Fitz-Gerald and that
she was unbeatable! And from then on I've always wanted
to be like her."
When I got the opportunity to train with her I grabbed it. Training with her over the years made me realise that its not only about training hard everyday, its also about surrounding yourself with people who actually care about you. And Sarah is one such example.
I have learnt so much from Sarah over the years, not only about squash but about life too that makes me very fortunate to have her as my coach .
Whatever I do in life, if I achieve half of what Sarah has, I will be a satisfied person.
Dipika Pallikal
- India's No. 1 Women's Player"Sarah has and always will be a huge inspiration to me.
As a young girl, her achievements on the squash court etched the name Sarah Fitz-Gerald into my mind. 5 times World Chmapion and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, I knew Sarah was the best squash player in the world.
But it is the way in which she has and continues to selflessly dedicate herself to the sport that inspires me the most.
Sarah has represented herself, her country and the sport of squash, passionately and lovingly with the upmost professionalism and respect.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to get to know the warm, strong, generous woman behind the champion.
Through coaching from Sarah, I have developed as both a player and a person, thanks to the invaluable knowledge, challenges, experiences and time Sarah has given me.
I consider myself very lucky to call Sarah my coach, mentor and friend."
