The Squash Moncton club is a few weeks away from unveiling three state-of-the-art courts used at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.

The club beat out others from across Canada to win the "Pan Am Legacy Courts".

"I knew that the team that put the proposal together put on a knock-your-socks-off presentation," said Jan Prieditis, Squash Moncton's Manager and Pro.

Worth $250,000

The three courts were purchased by the federal government for the Pan Am and ParaPan Am Games, and are valued at $250,000.

Jan Prieditis, Squash Moncton's manager and pro, says the new courts will help the club attract some of the country's top talent. (CBC) Equipment and infrastructure is being re-purposed and sent across the country to help amateur sports grow.

"It rewards a community of people who have the leadership and ambition to further the growth of the sport of squash in Atlantic Canada," said Dan Wolfenden, Executive Director of Squash Canada in a news release.

"It opens the opportunity for junior leagues, women's leagues, corporate leagues, and adult leagues," said Prieditis.

The addition of the three Pan Am Games courts doubles the number of courts available to the members of Squash Moncton.

"I think it's great, the courts are beautiful, I played last year at the Master's team nationals, and it looks exactly like how the courts looked last year in Montreal. So it's really exciting,"

Squash Moncton is now the new national training centre for softball doubles. (CBC) Squash Moncton is now the largest squash facility in Atlantic Canada, and Prieditis said the new courts will mean the club will attract the country's top players.

"This is now the national training centre for softball doubles. They're going to be putting on training camps and exhibitions and clinics, this is huge for the region," said Prieditis.

Special, German-made courts

The courts were made in Germany, with mechanized moveable side walls to widen the court for doubles, and the floors have special grips.

"They had three people from Czechoslovakia and three from Toronto setting them up, so they're really world-class courts. It's really great." said club member George Colpitts.

Members say they're excited to play on the same courts where Team Canada won six medals including gold at the games this past summer.

The club also received a repayable loan from the City of Moncton to help pay for the renovations required to install the courts.

The three new courts will be open for play in February.
