   CONSTRUCTION
   A squash court may be constructed from various materials providing they have suitable ball rebound
   characteristics and are safe for play; however, the WSF publishes a Squash Court Specification which contains
   recommended standards. A National or Regional Governing Body may require that the WSF standards must be
   met for competitive play.
