Sports Court Striping in St. Louis
Sharp, accurate court lines make play fair and safe. 1-800-STRIPER of St. Louis stripes and re-stripes sports courts across the metro — pickleball, basketball, tennis, and playground game markings — for schools, parks, HOAs, apartment communities, and commercial recreation sites. We mark to the governing dimensions for each sport using durable acrylic paint built for court surfaces.
Court striping is precision work. Each sport has a defined court size and line layout, and a few inches off makes a court play wrong. We measure and chalk every court before painting so the lines are true to spec — whether that’s a single dedicated court or a multi-game surface with overlapping layouts.
Courts We Mark and Our Process
We stripe the full range of sport surfaces:
| Court | Governing dimensions | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Pickleball | 20 ft × 44 ft playing area, 7-ft non-volley zone | USA Pickleball Official Rulebook |
| Basketball (high school) | 84 ft × 50 ft | FIBA / NFHS |
| Tennis | 78 ft × 27 ft singles / 78 ft × 36 ft doubles | USTA 78-foot court layout |
| Playground games | Hopscotch, four-square, custom layouts | — |
Pickleball is the fastest-growing court we mark — and many St. Louis sites overlay pickleball lines on existing tennis or basketball courts to add play without new construction.
Our process:
- Measure and chalk. We lay out the court to the governing dimensions and snap accurate guide lines.
- Prep the surface. We clean the court so paint bonds to a sound surface.
- Stripe. We apply durable acrylic court paint in crisp, true lines — and use distinct colors for overlapping multi-sport layouts so each game reads clearly.
- Cure. We let the lines cure before the court returns to play.
Courts We Stripe in Detail
Pickleball is the fastest-growing court we mark. A regulation court is 20 by 44 feet with a 7-foot non-volley zone on each side of the net, per the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook. We stripe dedicated courts and, just as often, overlay pickleball lines on existing tennis or basketball surfaces in a contrasting color so both games stay readable.
Basketball courts we mark to the dimensions for the level of play — a high-school court runs 84 by 50 feet, with the key, three-point arc, and center circle laid out to spec. We handle full courts and half-courts for schools, parks, and apartment communities.
Tennis courts follow the USTA 78-foot court layout — 78 by 27 feet for singles and 78 by 36 feet for doubles, with proper service boxes, baselines, and center marks.
Playground and game markings — hopscotch, four-square, number grids, and custom designs — turn blacktop into active play space for schools and parks.
Surface and Color Considerations
Court striping holds up only when the paint suits the surface. We use durable acrylic court paint that bonds to hard courts and keeps colors sharp through seasons of play and weather. On multi-sport surfaces, distinct line colors keep overlapping layouts legible, so players reading a pickleball court don’t confuse it with the tennis or basketball lines underneath. Before we paint, we measure and chalk every court to the governing dimensions — a few inches off changes how a court plays, so precision is the whole job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Court Striping in St. Louis, MO
What are the dimensions of a pickleball court?
A pickleball court is 20 feet wide by 44 feet long, with a 7-foot non-volley zone (the “kitchen”) on each side of the net. We mark courts to the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook specifications, whether it’s a dedicated court or pickleball lines overlaid on an existing tennis or basketball surface.
Can you add pickleball lines to an existing tennis or basketball court?
Yes — overlaying pickleball is one of our most requested court jobs in St. Louis. We mark the pickleball court to spec using a distinct line color so it reads clearly against the existing tennis or basketball lines. It’s a fast, low-cost way to add pickleball play without building a new court.
What kind of paint do you use on sports courts?
We use durable acrylic court paint made for athletic surfaces. It bonds to the court, holds a crisp line, and stands up to play and weather better than ordinary paint. Acrylic is the standard for hard courts because it grips the surface and keeps colors sharp through seasons of use.
How long does a court take to stripe?
Most single courts are striped in a day, including layout and cure time. Multi-sport surfaces with overlapping layouts take longer because each game’s lines are measured and painted separately. We let the acrylic cure before the court reopens so the lines set hard and clean.
Do you stripe courts for schools and apartment communities?
Yes. We stripe sports courts for schools, parks, HOAs, apartment communities, and commercial recreation sites across the St. Louis metro. From a single pickleball court to a full multi-sport surface with playground game markings, we mark to the governing dimensions for each sport. Call (314) 800-0507 for a free estimate.
