Court size and lines

A pickleball court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long (6.10 x 13.41 m). Doubles and singles use the same court (3.A.1). It is about the same size as a badminton court (USA Pickleball).

Names of the lines

• Baseline: the line across the very back of the court (3.A.4.a)
• Sideline: the lines running along the left and right sides of the court (3.A.4.b)
• non-volley zone line (kitchen line): the line across the court, 7 feet (2.13 m) from the net (3.A.4.c)
• Centerline: the line that splits the area from the baseline to the kitchen line into left and right (3.A.4.d)

Every line is 2 inches (about 5 cm) wide (3.A.4.e). The court size is measured to the outer edges of the lines (3.A.2). In other words, the lines are part of the court (definitions in Section 2, 8.B, A ball that touches the line is in).

The non-volley zone (kitchen)

The area between the net and the kitchen line is the kitchen. There is one on each side of the net, each 7 feet (2.13 m) deep (3.A.4.c).

• The lines around the kitchen (such as the kitchen line) are part of the kitchen (3.A.4.c)
• The kitchen is only the area on the ground. It does not include the space above it (3.A.4.c)

Net height

The net is 36 inches (91.4 cm) high at the sidelines and 34 inches (86.4 cm) high in the middle. It is a little lower in the middle (3.B.6, 3.B.7).
