Recent Trends and Developments
1.Explosive Growth: Pickleball is now the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., with participation rates skyrocketing post-pandemic due to its low-impact nature and suitability for all ages.
2.Global Expansion: Countries like Australia have established national associations (e.g., Pickleball Australia Association) and hosted major tournaments, including the Australian Pickleball Open, attracting elite players and fostering grassroots development.
3.Infrastructure Demand: The sport’s rapid rise has created an urgent need for dedicated courts. Schools, communities, and sports clubs are investing in facilities to meet demand, with governments and private entities funding court construction.
Standard Pickleball Court Dimensions
A regulation pickleball court measures 20 feet (6.1 meters) in width and 44 feet (13.4 meters) in length, identical to a doubles badminton court. The net height is 34 inches (86.4 cm) at the center and 36 inches (91.4 cm) at the sidelines. Courts can be installed indoors or outdoors, requiring durable surfaces and weather-resistant materials to ensure longevity.
