Hello Hossam.  Apologies for the delay in replying to you.  I was out of town without access to the internet (if you can believe it!)

Squash courts are 21 feet wide x 32 ft long x 15 ft high.  3 feet is the minimum clearance about the front wall out line. Racquetball courts are 20 ft wide x 40 ft long.

Shorten all courts by 8 ft and you will have some viewing and stretching space.  Either make three court the correct 21 ft. width or make four courts 20 ft wide and live with the difference.

I know a number of experienced court builders who could do the work. Please allow me some time to find out how US Squash might be able to assist you in the conversion.  They have some sort of assistance plan for qualified businesses.

In the meantime, see the complete court specifications here(in cm, see page 6)

I will be back in touch. Write back if you don't get another reply from me in the next few days.

best regards,
Hunt Richardson
