Temporary Pickleball Court Lines

How to Chalk a Tennis Court for Pickleball

Suggested steps for your changing your tennis court into a Pickleball court.

Tools you will need:  a) tape measure      b) tape or chalk

Steps for Pickleball Court Lines:

1.  Extend the middle tennis service line one foot towards the back of the court. (red line in picture below)

2.  From your new line draw a line 10 foot in both direction to be parallel to the net.  This will create the backline for your Pickleball court. (blue line in picture below)

3.  From each backline, draw a line all the way to the net to form your Pickleball sidelines.  Each sideline will be 3.5 feet from the tennis single’s sideline. (orange line in picture below)

4.  Next, you need to create the non-volley zone.  Measure 7 feet from the tennis net at each Pickleball sideline and center line.  Draw a line parallel to the net. (purple line in picture below)

5.  Grab your Pickleball paddle and ball and have a great time!
