A Memphis-based small business was at center court in more ways than one during the recent U.S. Open Racquetball Championships here.

That's because The Court Company custom designed and constructed the spectator court for the event at the Racquet Club of Memphis. What makes their court unique is that it's the only made-for-TV portable racquetball court in the world and it was premiered at the Memphis games.

Some of The Court Company's designs and construction are for health club chains nationally and for celebrities' homes. Country star Garth Brooks has one in his home.

The company has put together a number of racquetball courts for clients in Greece, Japan and Korea and at many military installations worldwide. It even builds courts for cruise ships.

"Since [1976], we've built over 3,000 courts worldwide in 20 years," Stafford says.

"We're the only company in the world that only builds racquetball and squash courts," he says.

The Court Company continues to work with USA Racquetball for the US Open Racquetball Championships currently held in the fall in Memphis, Tennessee.

Unfortunately, this type of portable court is not for sale since it is too cost prohibited to reproduce. Information on the portable court is included to illustrate that professional players choose The Court Company for tournaments.
