Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton, creating a lively and exciting game that is perfect for competition or for playing with friends and family. Whether you’re building a pickleball court for a residential backyard or a commercial facility, knowing the correct pickleball court dimensions is the first step. Here is everything you need to know about court sizing, surfaces, and more!

What Are the Official Dimensions of a Pickleball Court?

The official pickleball court size is 44 feet long by 20 feet wide, with space for an out-of-bounds zone. To host regulation play, you’ll need a total playing area of 64 feet by 34 feet—this ensures enough room at the baseline and sidelines.

Breakdown of the dimensions of a pickleball court:

• Pickleball court width: 20 feet
  
  
• Pickleball court size in feet: 44 feet long x 20 feet wide
  
  
• Non-volley zone (the “kitchen”): 7 feet deep on each side of the net
  
  
• Service zones: Two rectangles on each side, each 10 feet wide by 15 feet long
  
  

These are the required pickleball court dimensions according to USA Pickleball, the governing body of the sport.

Modified Pickleball Court Size Options

Not every property can accommodate the official pickleball court size. If you have limited space, you can create a modified pickleball court size that still offers great gameplay.

• Reduced out-of-bounds areas: Shrink to 60 feet by 30 feet, keeping the 44×20 playable area intact.
  
  
• Scaled-down courts: Courts can be reduced to 80% of regulation, making the size of a pickleball court about 35 feet by 16 feet.
  

This flexibility means you can enjoy pickleball in backyards, driveways, or smaller recreational spaces—even without room for a full-size build.

Pickleball Court Surfaces to Consider

Your chosen surface won’t change the dimensions of a pickleball court, but it does impact performance, durability, and comfort.

Popular pickleball court surfaces include:

• Acrylic: The most common outdoor surface, offering consistent ball bounce and weather resistance.
  
  
• Wood: Best for indoor pickleball courts; affordable and reliable.
  
  
• Turf: A budget-friendly option but less responsive for competitive play.
