Hey fellow picklers! I've seen this question pop up a lot lately, so I thought I'd share the official dimensions for those wondering about setting up their own court or just curious about the game.
A regulation pickleball court is 20 feet wide by 44 feet long. This size is the same for both singles and doubles play.
Here are some key measurements to know:
- Total court dimensions: 20' x 44'
- Non-volley zone (kitchen): 7' deep on each side of the net
- Service areas: 10' wide x 15' long on each side
- Net height: 36" at the sidelines, 34" at center
Fun fact: You can fit about 4 pickleball courts on a standard tennis court!
If you're looking to set up a temporary court, the USA Pickleball Association recommends a minimum playing area of 30' x 60' to allow for some out-of-bounds space. But if you have the room, 40' x 64' is ideal.
For those wanting to set up a quick court, you can use tape or chalk to mark the lines on an existing hard surface like a driveway or tennis court. Just measure carefully and you're good to go!
Hope this helps give you an idea of the court size. Let me know if you have any other questions about pickleball court dimensions or setup!
