India's fastest-growing sport, built for your campus.

A single pickleball court plays at 13.41 m × 6.1 m, identical for singles and doubles, which is roughly a quarter the footprint of a tennis court. sportsOS recommends a total space of 9.1 m × 18.3 m (30 × 60 ft) including safe run-off on all sides. Overhead clearance should be a minimum of 6.7 m, with 9 m or more preferred for competitive play with lobbed shots. This compact footprint is exactly why pickleball has become the fastest-adopted sport on Indian corporate campuses, many facilities that could never fit a badminton court or basketball half-court can accommodate one or two pickleball courts on a rooftop, terrace or underused parking bay.

Yes, and it is the single most common pickleball project sportsOS handles. A standard tennis court (23.77 m × 8.23 m singles, wider for doubles) comfortably fits 2 to 4 pickleball courts depending on layout and whether permanent fencing is added between them. Conversion involves resurfacing with acrylic coating, new line marking, new net systems at pickleball height and specification, and typically wind screens or low fencing to separate adjacent courts. Most tennis-to-pickleball conversions are completed in 10 to 14 days and cost meaningfully less than new construction since the base, drainage and perimeter are already in place.

Pickleball paddles and balls produce a distinct, sharper impact sound than tennis, and noise complaints are a genuine, well-documented consideration for courts near workspaces or residential boundaries. sportsOS addresses this at the design stage: sound-dampening paddle specifications for shared equipment kits, acoustic windscreen fencing that reduces sound propagation, court orientation and placement to maximise distance from noise-sensitive zones, and scheduling guidance for high-traffic play windows. For campuses with adjacent office towers or residential blocks, we recommend an acoustic assessment during the site audit so noise mitigation is designed in from day one rather than retrofitted after complaints arise.

Acrylic coated concrete is the right choice for outdoor and semi-covered courts, it is weather-resistant, UV-stable, costs less, and is the standard used across most Indian outdoor installations. Cushioned synthetic (PU) surfacing is the better choice for indoor courts with sustained daily use, since it meaningfully reduces joint strain on knees and ankles over long playing sessions and has a longer usable lifespan. If your campus has covered hall space and expects high-frequency daily play, cushioned synthetic is worth the additional cost. For rooftop, courtyard or outdoor courts, acrylic is the practical and proven choice.

Yes, sportsOS offers an optional equipment starter kit covering everything needed to start playing on day one: paddles in a range of grip sizes, indoor and outdoor balls (the two use different ball constructions), a net-height gauge, and a storage unit for on-court equipment. Kits are scaled to court count and expected usage volume. Campuses enrolled in our ongoing sports management service benefit from scheduled consumable restocking, so balls and paddles are replaced before they wear out rather than after employees notice.

A single court comfortably serves a rotating group of 16 to 24 regular players across a working week when scheduled in structured slots, since doubles play (the most common format) uses all 4 players per game and games run 15 to 20 minutes. Campuses with 200 or more employees interested in the sport typically move to a 2 to 4 court setup within the first year, most commonly through a tennis court conversion, once initial demand is validated on a single court.
