Official Court Dimensions in Padel

Official padel court dimensions are standardized internationally to maintain consistency. The playing area is 20 meters long by 10 meters wide (similar to a doubles tennis court but used for all padel formats). The court is surrounded by walls or fencing: glass walls (typically 3-4 meters high) on the back and sides. Walls or mesh fencing at the sides separate adjacent courts. The service line is positioned 6.95 meters from the net, creating service boxes 5.5 meters wide (per FIP standards similar to tennis). The baseline is 11 meters from the net. The net spans the full 10-meter width and must be 88 centimeters high at the edges and 92 centimeters high at the center (creating a slight arc). Court markings must be white and clearly visible. Non-official courts may have slight variations, but professional tournaments follow these exact specifications. Understanding court dimensions helps players optimize positioning and shot selection.
