Converting Tennis Courts to Pickleball Courts



new pickleball rules

Despite the rapid growth of pickleball, its popularity has been outpacing the availability of dedicated spaces for the sport. It has led to some tennis clubs converting their tennis fields into pickleball ones. If you are considering converting your tennis court into a pickleball court, here are some things to know.

Pickleball and tennis service areas are similar

Both tennis and pickleball have service areas close to the net. They allow players to direct serve their opponents when playing in singles or doubles. In tennis, however, the service line is closer to sidelines.

There are other similarities too. Both games use similar-sized boxes. Both games feature a surface with a slight texture to prevent the ball from slipping. A racquet is also required.

Tennis nets and pickleball nets are the same height?

A standard net for tennis is 36 inches high at the sidelines. It's 34 inches tall in the centre. Tennis nets have a middle band that can be swung back and forward to change height.

It is essential to raise the net to tennis net height when converting a court from tennis to pickleball. This will ensure that the surface is not damaged and that all players are able to play with the appropriate net height.

How to Convert Tennis Courts to Pickleball Courts

The first step in converting a tennis court into pickleball is to mark the lines. Use a tape to measure the court to know where to mark.


You should have no trouble placing the line markers once you've completed this step. Once you have done this, it should be easy to adjust the markers if required.

The next step is to match the court's net with the centerlines. This process is simple and should not take longer than 15 mins per side.

You can use the same markers you use to line a tennis court. You'll need to place a marker on the baseline at each of the corners and another on the non-volley zone line where it meets the sideline.

You'll then need to place a mark on both sides of the tennis court where the centerline meets the pickleball lines. This is something you should do on both sides to get a consistent pickleball field.

You can create temporary lines by using tape and a chalk instead of permanent markers. Use strong tape that will adhere to the surface of the court.

In order to transform your tennis court from a game of pickleball into a playable one, you will need to install permanent markings. If you don't know how to do it, we suggest consulting the local governing bodies for the sport. This will help you decide the best route for your facility.
