Sports Court Striping in St. Louis Metro East, IL

Sports court striping puts accurate, durable game lines on the surface you already have. We mark pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts, plus playground game markings, for schools, parks, HOAs, apartment communities, and churches across the Metro East. This is line work, not resurfacing — if your slab or court surface is sound, we lay down crisp, regulation lines that hold up to play and weather.

Court Types & Line Layouts

Each sport has its own dimensions, and getting them right is the whole job:

• Pickleball courts follow USA Pickleball specifications — a 20-by-44-foot playing area, a 7-foot non-volley zone (the “kitchen”) on each side of the net, and a net set to 34 inches at the center.
• Basketball courts are lined to the level of play — a high-school court runs 84 by 50 feet, with the key, free-throw line, three-point arc, and center circle marked to match. Half-courts and driveway courts are laid out to the space available.
• Tennis courts are 78 by 27 feet for singles and 36 feet wide for doubles, with service boxes, baselines, and the net line marked to spec.
• Playground game markings — hopscotch, four square, number grids, and activity circles — turn blacktop into a usable play space for a school or park.

We confirm the layout and colors with you before painting so the finished court plays right.

Multi-Sport Overlays

One slab can hold more than one game, which is how most communities get the most out of a court. Pickleball lines over an existing tennis court is the most common request — we lay the two sets of lines in contrasting colors so players can pick out their own game at a glance. Basketball keys, four-square grids, and pickleball courts can share the same pad the same way. The key is a clear color scheme and clean, well-masked lines, so an overlay reads as two courts instead of a tangle. We plan the color separation with you before any paint goes down.

Our Court Striping Process

We measure and chalk the layout, mask the lines, and apply durable, weather-resistant acrylic traffic paint built for foot traffic and the elements. For courts that need longer-wearing lines, we’ll discuss acrylic versus thermoplastic options and where each makes sense — acrylic for most recreational courts, longer-wearing systems where play is heavy. Multiple colors are applied in sequence so overlaid courts stay legible, and we walk the finished lines with you before the court reopens.

Where We Stripe Sports Courts

We stripe courts for the places across the Metro East where people actually play. Schools and school districts make up a big share — gym-class game lines, playground markings, and outdoor basketball and pickleball courts. Parks and municipal recreation departments bring tennis and pickleball work, and the pickleball boom means many of our requests are new lines on courts originally built for something else. HOAs, apartment and condo communities, and senior-living campuses add courts as an amenity, and churches and community centers round out the list with multi-use pads that need to do double duty. Whatever the setting, the job is the same: accurate, durable game lines on a surface that’s already sound.

Line Colors & Visibility

Color is what makes a court readable, especially when more than one game shares the slab. We use contrasting colors so each set of lines stands on its own — a player should never have to hunt for their baseline. On dedicated courts we match the standard color conventions for the sport; on overlays we plan the palette with you up front so pickleball lines don’t disappear into tennis lines or a basketball key. Clean masking and even paint application keep the edges crisp, and weather-resistant acrylic holds the color through sun and rain. The finished court reads clearly from the baseline, which is the whole point of striping it right.
