Pickleball Flooring
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. Our pickleball flooring materials provide natural ball rebound and traction for optimal playing conditions.
Why pickleball?
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the US for a variety of reasons. It’s fun for all ages and skill levels. It promotes physically activity, community building, and friendly competition. But from the perspective of a recreation director, pickleball can help your gym reach the most important goals of any athletic facility.
Here are three factors that make a successful recreation facility and how pickleball can achieve them:
Goal 1: A gymnasium that is neither empty nor idle.
Pickleball appeals to all ages and skill levels, from competitive tournament players to amateur enthusiasts who play for fun and fitness. Since pickleball is such an inclusive sport, it is almost guaranteed to keep a gymnasium busy with players across a wide demographic range.
Goal 2: A gymnasium that fosters community involvement and relationships.
Pickleball brings people together around a shared activity that is just plain fun! With close interaction among players and competitors it is one of the best sports for building relationships in a community. Pickleball builds connections in the community in a way that other sports cannot.
Goal 3: A gymnasium that facilitates physical fitness and wellness.
Pickleball can be played at any skill level. It can be played by seniors trying to stay active, competitive professionals in tournaments, and anyone in between. That means lots of physical activity for lots of age groups. For all players, pickleball promotes aerobic exercise, increases flexibility, sharpens reflexes, and improves coordination.
What are the Dimensions of a pickleball Court?
Standard pickleball courts have a length of 44 feet from baseline to baseline and a width of 20 feet. Diagonally, the court should measure 48 feet and 4 inches. The pickleball court perimeter is measured from the outer edge of game line markings. Lines are typically 2 inches wide.
A 3-foot tall net (34 inches tall at the center) divides the length of the court in half, with 22 feet of space on the opposing sides. The pickleball net should extend about 1 foot outside the sidelines of the court.
A 7-foot space on either side of the net is designated as a non-volley zone. This area is sometimes referred to as the “kitchen.” The non-volley zone is usually a contrasting color from the rest of the pickleball court.
- Length: 44 feet
- Width: 20 feet
- Net Height: 3 feet at the sideline
- Non-Volley Area: Extends 7 feet on opposing sides of the net and has a contrasting color from the service areas
- Service Areas: Divided by a center line into left and right (15 feet by 10 feet)
- Line Width: 2 inches
The area beyond the non-volley zone measures 15 feet in length. The width of this space is divided in the middle by a center line, which creates a left and right service area. The service areas are the defined spaces for players in doubles competition and measure 15 feet by 10 feet.
