A standard pickleball court playing area is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide for both singles and doubles play. The ideal space should be about 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. This will allow enough space as you move about during a game.
Measure a 44' straight line from A to B. Apply tape. Note: When connecting two points, one person stands on the tape at one point while the second person pulls the tape to the second point. Pull the tape firm, a few inches off the ground, then loosen the tape and gently apply it to the ground.

The serve is initiated with at least one foot behind the baseline; neither foot may contact the baseline or court until after the ball is struck. The serve is made diagonally crosscourt and must land within the confines of the opposite diagonal court. Only one serve attempt is allowed (let serves are allowed).
So, is the line in or out in pickleball? ing to the rules, any ball that touches any part of a line is considered “in.” This applies to all lines, including the baseline, sideline, and centerline. However, when serving, a ball that lands on the kitchen line is “out” because the serve cannot land in the kitchen.
Code of Ethics for Line Calling: Only make line calls on your side of the pickleball court and always strive for accuracy. Only call “out” balls when space is clearly visible between the line and where the pickleball lands. Call “out” balls promptly.
