Pickleball is a paddle sport that over the last 50-plus years
A pickleball court is a rectangle, 20 feet wide and 44 feet long. The dimensions are the same for singles and doubles. The total playing area is 30 feet wide and 60 feet long; this gives players room to volley balls that bounce within the lines, but travel beyond them, which is why the USAPA recommends extending the dimensions out to 34 feet by 64 feet whenever possible. When measuring the actual court, you must measure from the outside of the tapelines, not from the inside of them.
