Pickleball Court Layout
A pickleball court measures 20 by 44 feet, with a net that is 34 inches high in the center and 36 inches high at the sidelines. Each side of the court features a 7-foot non-volley zone, commonly known as the kitchen.
The court is divided into right and left service courts by a centerline, with baselines at the back and sidelines marking the outer boundaries.
History of Pickleball
Pickleball was invented in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum on Bainbridge Island, Washington, to entertain their children. The name's origin is debated, either from Pritchard's dog, Pickles, or a "pickle boat" in crew. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, the sport quickly spread to community centers and parks.
The USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) was formed in 1984 to standardize rules and promote the sport. Today, pickleball is played globally and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S
