Padel is a rapidly popular sport, and its court design and size directly affect the quality and experience of the game. The International Padel Federation (FIP) stipulates standard padel court dimensions and related parameters to ensure consistency and fairness in global competition venues.
Basic dimensions of the padel court
Field area
The standard padel court is a rectangle with a width of 10 meters and a length of 20 meters, with a total area of 200 square meters.
The court is divided into two halves by a net in the middle, with each half being 10 meters wide and 10 meters long.
If the court is a half court (such as a mini padel court), it is 10 meters wide and 6 meters long.
Wall and glass wall height
The padel court is surrounded by a combination of walls and glass walls:
The rear wall is 3 meters high and can be extended to the two side walls.
The two side walls are divided into a glass part (3 meters high) and a metal fence part (extendable to 4 meters).
The overall wall height is 4 meters to ensure that the ball will not easily fly out of the court.
Net size and design
Net width
The width of the net is the same as the width of the court, which is 10 meters.
Net height
The middle height is 0.88 meters, and the edge is slightly higher, which is 0.92 meters.
The upper and lower edges of the net are wrapped with steel cables or nylon lines for fixing and tightening.
Entrance and exit design
The standard padel court has two entrances, each of which is 1 meter wide and not less than 2 meters high. It is usually set at the junction of the glass wall and the fence on both sides of the court to facilitate players to enter and exit the court.
Lighting height and layout
Height of lamp posts
Padel courts require sufficient lighting. The height of lamp posts is generally 6 to 8 meters. At least 4 lamp posts are installed in each court, and 2 LED lamps are installed on each lamp post.
Lighting layout
Ensure uniform light and no glare for night games.
Turf and marking lines
Artificial turf
Padel courts often use high-density artificial turf, and the grass height is usually 10-15 mm to provide optimal ball rebound and anti-slip performance.
Width of marking lines
The white marking lines are used to divide the court, with a width of 5 cm, including the service area and the center line.
Dimensional variations for special venues
Some indoor or commercial venues may adopt a canopy design or non-standard dimensions (such as a small padel court suitable for family use). The specific dimensions are customized according to customer needs, but still follow the main proportions and design principles.
Through the above standard dimensions and parameters, the structure of the padel court is standardized, providing the best sports experience for players and enthusiasts. If a customized padel court is required, the design can be adjusted according to the above data to meet the needs of different scenarios.
