Dimensions and Structure:

  • Size: A pickleball court measures 20 feet/6.1m wide and 44 feet/13.41m long for both singles and doubles.
  • Surface: Typically made of asphalt, concrete, or similar hard material, often coated with acrylic.

Markings:

  • Baseline: Lines at the ends of the court.
  • Sidelines: Lines running along the sides.
  • Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen): A 7-foot/2.13m area on either side of the net.
  • Service Courts: The area between the non-volley zone and the baseline, divided by the centerline.

Net:

  • Height: 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches at the center.
  • Position: Divide the court into two equal halves.

Basic Rules:

  • Teams: Singles or doubles.
  • Serving: Underhand serve, one attempt unless a let occurs.
  • Scoring: Only the serving team can score. Games are usually played to 11 points, win by 2.
  • Double-Bounce Rule: The ball must bounce once on each side before volleying.
  • Non-Volley Zone Rules: No volleying while in the zone; entry allowed to play a bounced ball.

Play Dynamics:

  • Rallies: Can volley or play groundstrokes after the double-bounce rule is met.
  • Strategy: Combination of soft shots, fast volleys, and strategic positioning.
  • Faults: Include hitting the ball out of bounds, not clearing the net, and violating the double-bounce rule.

P. Kounnas, Doncaster

Your integrity and control of yesterday's situation was most reassuring that I had made the correct decision in choosing your company.

J. Pokinhorne, Mill Park

A S Lodge carried out a full resurfacing of our 28 year old tennis court with a new concrete base and synthetic grass. From the initial discussions with Richard and innovative approach to the final sign off with Sandy the complete experience was one of minimal inconvenience and complete satisfaction.

The concrete team and then the grass laying team were efficient and extremely fast in their execution of their tasks.

The finished result is what looks like a brand new court.

We are extremely satisfied in our choice of A S Lodge, and would recommend them to anyone in the future.

Once again thanks for a great project.
