WELCOME TO
SQUASH 200:

Building clubs
for the future

Our mantra is simple: the more you save on the exterior, the more you can spend on the fun stuff inside.

New clubs

We are delighted to be working with clients who love squash and want to develop a new style of operation that is affordable, sustainable and profitable. Funding bodies prefer to work with multi-sport venues than stand-alone, single-sport clubs. By providing a wider range of facilities, you will achieve a deeper penetration into your local communities, provide significant health benefits for that community, and develop new revenue streams in the process.

New courts

Melior Sports is the UK distributor for the fantastic interactive squash courts produced by the innovative Fun With Balls company based in Munich. Interactive Courts and fun Game Walls will help to attract a younger membership. Visually stimulating, these courts will act like a magnet to a younger generation who have grown up playing games on their mobile phones. Step on to an interactive court and those children will be ramping up that gaming experience in a whole new and exciting way, and getting plenty of healthy exercise in the process. Oh yes, we also construct traditional courts with a choice of options including plaster, panel courts, glass backs and all-glass courts with moveable walls. Moveable walls can help you to switch easily from singles to doubles play and create greater space for training, coaching and fitness activities.

New ideas

We play squash inside a box. To create clubs of the future, we need to think “outside the box”. Squash club operators are running two businesses side by side: a sports club and a bar. Both need different skill sets to keep the premises busy and buzzing seven days a week. Managed properly, you may well end up generating greater revenues from your daytime fitness classes and cafe sales than you do from your traditional squash and bar revenues in the evenings. Please talk to us about adding Padel, Pickleball and Interactive Courts, plus other fun games like Interactive Darts that could transform your social revenues. Embrace technology. Embrace the future. And then embrace the increased revenue streams.
