Makers of Racquetball Courts Are
Smashing Success by David Yawn
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.
