Can you play pickleball on a tennis court?
I thought I'd share some info for those wondering about playing pickleball on tennis courts.
The short answer: Yes, you absolutely can play pickleball on a tennis court!
Here's what you need to know:
1. Court size: A tennis court is much larger than a pickleball court, but that's not a problem. You can fit up to four pickleball courts on one tennis court!
2. Net height: A tennis net is about 2 inches higher than a pickleball net. For casual play, this difference isn't a big deal. If you want to be more precise, you can adjust the tennis net to 34" in the center using the center strap or a carabiner clip.
3. Lines: You'll need to mark the pickleball lines. Some tennis courts already have blended lines for pickleball. If not, you can use chalk or temporary tape to mark the lines. Just be sure to get permission from the facility first!
4. Equipment: Bring your own pickleball paddles and balls. Everything else is pretty much the same.
5. Etiquette: If you're using a shared court, be respectful of tennis players. Some tennis purists might not be thrilled about pickleball on their courts, so try to use less popular times or courts if possible.
Pro tip: If you're setting up temporary lines, bring a measuring tape to ensure accurate dimensions. The pickleball court should be 20' x 44', with a 7' non-volley zone (kitchen) on each side of the net.
Playing on a tennis court is a great way to get some pickleball action when dedicated courts aren't available. It's how many people first get introduced to the sport!
Has anyone here regularly played pickleball on tennis courts? Any tips or experiences to share?
