Pickleball is becoming increasingly popular in Europe, but how big does a pickleball court actually have to be? According to official rules, the court size is 13.41 meters long and 6.10 meters wide. In the middle of the court, a net with a height of 0.91 meters separates the two halves of the court.
When building a pickleball court, these dimensions should be strictly adhered to in order to ensure an optimal playing experience. The right surface also plays an important role, as it not only ensures a pleasant game, but also prevents injuries and increases the longevity of the court. Depending on the location and budget, various options for the surface are available.
A practical alternative is to convert an existing badminton court. With a few markings, the dimensions can be adjusted so that it can be used as a pickleball court. Many sports centers also rent pickleball rackets and balls to make it easier to get started with the sport.
Although a pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court, it still offers enough space for a fast and dynamic game. Adhering to the official dimensions is crucial to achieving the full potential of this exciting sport.
