These court tapes are designed to be highly visible, durable during lateral movement, and easy to remove when you are finished. They provide a professional feel to any temporary setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will court tape damage a tennis court surface?
Most specialized court tapes are designed with low-tack adhesive that won't pull up paint. However, you should always test a small strip in a corner first and avoid leaving it down for more than a few days in extreme heat.
How many rolls of tape do I need for a full court?
A standard pickleball court requires approximately 200 feet of tape. Most 60-yard rolls will cover one full court with a little left over for repairs.
Are rubber markers better than adhesive tape?
Rubber markers are faster to set up and reusable, making them great for drills. Adhesive tape is better for actual games because it provides continuous lines that make 'in or out' calls much easier.
