Tennis Court Conversion
Tennis Courts Convert to Paddle Tennis in Minutes!
As you'll see in the diagrams below, you can
easily make a conventional tennis court interchangeable with paddle tennis
in just 10 minutes without even changing nets. All you need is a simple set
of instructions and conversion kit invented by
Scott Freedman (coming soon!). Scott
created the kit when he was asked to play an exhibition match during the
intermission of a professional tennis tournament in Los Angeles. The only
catch was he had 10 minutes to convert a tennis court to a regulation paddle
tennis court. He figured it out, now you can too!
As you can see from the dimension in figure 1
below, a paddle tennis court fits easily inside the space of a conventional
tennis court. With the conversion kit, you'll have everything you need to
make a public or private tennis court into a paddle tennis court!
Additionally, as you'll see in figure 2, you can
easily fit two paddle tennis courts in the existing space of a tennis court.
Did you know a conventional tennis court is 78 feet long. 36 feet wide
for doubles and 27 feet wide for singles. The net is 36 inches high in the
center, 42 inches high at the sides of the court. The service box is 21 feet
from the net in the singles area. Divide the service box in half up the
middle. Each box is 13 and 1/2 feet. According to the
rules of paddle tennis the court
dimensions are 50 feet in length, 20 feet wide for singles and doubles and
the net is 31 inches high for the entire width of the court.
What's even more encouraging for the hundreds of thousands of public
tennis courts across the country both in public parks and schools, is Figure
2. One tennis court can easily fit two paddle tennis courts with a minimum
of investment. Both courts fit into the space of one regulation tennis
court. All you need are two sets of NJP paddle
tennis court set-ups.
