A Great Initiative

Posted by theartons |

As a squash player for more than 40 years I have witnessed the growth and decline of the sport that has given me more than I could ever give back, it is gratifying to see someone interested in supporting the growth of the sport. It's hard to promote and grow a sport if the facilities don't exist to do so. Additional court space in the east of Melbourne will provide the opportunity to support those who already play this terrific game (and one that Australians have been very good at ovr the…

With the loss of so many squash courts around the city, the addition of extra squash courts in this region would be a fantastic boost to the game.

Definitely a winner - Build more squash courts for the community

Posted by MattH |

So the ratepayers get an existing facility rejuvenated and even expanded at the expense of the lessee? How good is that? With the progressive closure of many centres in the surrounding suburbs and across broader Melbourne over recent years, there is a desperate shortage of squash courts and rejuvenating a centre such as this would be very welcome news indeed. As a competition squash and racquetball player and someone who has worked in squash and gym facilities in the past, I understand…
