INDOOR PICKLEBALL FACILITY
PICKLEBALL IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN THE US
The demand for courts is increasing. Indoor sports complexes have an excellent opportunity to provide spaces for pickleball groups seeking a regular place to play. These buildings can offer protection from the elements, ample space for tournaments and other desirable amenities to players.
CREATING AN INDOOR PICKLEBALL FACILITY DESIGN
If you are looking to create the perfect venue to attract pickleball players, consider a few things:
-
Size: The recommended minimum court size is 30 feet by 60 feet, though the lines are placed at dimensions of 20 feet by 44 feet.
-
Flooring: Polyurethane sports surfaces work best, though asphalt, gymnasium floors and concrete can also work. The rubber texture of polyurethane sports flooring is ideal because it provides the needed grip for almost any sport, making it perfect for a multi-sport complex.
-
Safety: With multiple courts, you need a way to keep wayward balls contained so players and spectators can enjoy the game peacefully and safely.
-
Installation: If you are designing a new facility, these dimensions and materials will be easy to incorporate. You may need to get creative if you plan to adjust your current facility to accommodate pickleball courts. You can transform tennis courts or a gymnasium into a set of pickleball courts by adding new lines and an adjustable net.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I plan multi-court indoor pickleball layouts with safe runouts and clear circulation?
Grand Slam Safety uses the 20' x 44' court with a minimum 30' x 60' footprint, targets expanded margins where possible, and routes ADA‑compliant aisles outside divider lines to protect play and improve flow.
2. Which indoor flooring is recommended for traction, force reduction, and durability in pickleball and multi-sport use?
Polyurethane sports flooring for grip and shock absorption, with finished wood or coated concrete/asphalt as alternates depending on performance targets and budget.
3. How do divider curtains and multi-sport netting improve ball containment and tournament capabilities?
Grand Slam Safety’s pickleball system allows for complete court-to-court containment, while providing a much better aesthetic than indoor chain link fencing or temporary systems. At only 4’ high, the court containment system allows for clear viewing through the facility while safely containing each area of play for a perfect combination of containment, safety, and aesthetics.
4. How do I specify lighting levels and ceiling height to optimize visibility and reduce glare for indoor pickleball?
Target approximately 50 foot‑candles with high uniformity, apply anti‑glare optics, and maintain clear heights around 18–20 feet or more to minimize interference and improve tracking.
5. How do I convert existing gyms or tennis courts into multiple pickleball courts efficiently?
Add pickleball line sets, adjustable nets and posts, and divider netting; optimize court count per footprint while preserving safe runout and spectator corridors.
