PSA Withdraws Glass Floor Sanction

The Professional Squash Association has withdrawn its sanction of glass-floored squash courts, with effect from 1st March 2008.

The decision follows detailed consultation with PSA members - the overall conclusion of which was that such floors are not consistently safe in all environments.

"Our prime concern is for the safety of our players and until such flooring is suitable for all possible conditions, we feel we must take this action," said PSA Chief Executive Gawain Briars.

"We will continue to work closely with all manufactures on this potentially important development to provide as much help as we can in overcoming its current shortcomings."
