A standard basketball court measures 94 feet long by 50 feet wide. A standard pickleball court measures 44 feet long by 20 feet wide.
To determine how many pickleball courts can fit on a basketball court, let’s break it down:
– Length-wise: A basketball court is 94 feet long. Since each pickleball court is 44 feet long, you can fit 2 pickleball courts along the length of the basketball court (94 ÷ 44 = 2.136).
– Width-wise: A basketball court is 50 feet wide. Since each pickleball court is 20 feet wide, you can fit 2 pickleball courts along the width of the basketball court (50 ÷ 20 = 2.5).
So, you can fit 4 pickleball courts (2 courts along the length and 2 courts along the width) on a standard basketball court, leaving a small amount of unused space.
However, if you were to adjust for space for netting and safe movement around the courts, you might fit slightly fewer courts. But in terms of raw space, 4 courts would fit.
