Pynga is a new paddle sport played on standard tennis courts. It uses the singles court and service lines as the core playing boundaries, plus a new kitchen line marked 8 feet from the net on each side.

What makes Pynga different

Pynga is designed to activate underused tennis inventory without disrupting standard tennis use. The format is familiar enough to learn quickly and distinct enough to feel like its own sport.

Core format

  • ✓
    Regular tennis court
    Play happens inside the singles court rather than requiring a dedicated new surface.
  • ✓
    Service lines as boundaries
    The existing service boxes and singles lines create the foundation of the Pynga court.
  • ✓
    8-foot kitchen line
    A non-volley zone is marked on both sides using tape or paint — either works without affecting tennis play.
  • ✓
    Standard pickleball rules
    Pynga follows the same rules as pickleball. See the official rulebook
  • ✓
    Shared-court friendly
    The kitchen line does not interfere with regular tennis use, whether taped or painted on.

Why it works

  • 1
    No dedicated court needed
    Add the kitchen line with tape or paint. Either way, tennis play is unaffected.
  • 2
    Lower setup friction
    Lines can be added in minutes with tape, or painted on permanently — no construction project required.
  • 3
    Better court utilization
    Tennis infrastructure becomes multi-use, including evening sessions with portable lighting.
  • 4
    Designed for productization
    The sport format and the accessory kits create a clean path to clubs, schools, rec programs, and direct-to-consumer sales.

Pynga court layout

The game is intentionally anchored to existing tennis geometry. That makes setup easy to explain, easy to teach, and easy to adopt anywhere tennis courts already exist.

Boundary logic

Pynga uses the service lines and the singles court as the main boundaries. The only additional marking required is the kitchen line, placed 8 feet from the net on either side.

Two products that make Pynga deployable

Pynga is not only a sport concept. It is also a lightweight infrastructure layer for turning existing tennis courts into flexible, multi-use playing environments.
Marking Kit

Kitchen line in minutes

The Pynga Marking Kit lets players, clubs, and rec operators place the 8-foot kitchen line quickly using blue tape or paint. In practice, the kitchen line does not bother regular tennis play either way.
  • •
    Fast setup
    Mark both kitchen lines in minutes with tape or paint.
  • •
    Tape or paint
    Use removable tape for pop-ups or paint the line on permanently.
  • •
    Tennis-friendly
    The kitchen line does not interfere with regular tennis play.
Lighting Kit

Portable lighting for after-dark play

The Pynga Lighting Kit is a temporary, rechargeable-battery lighting system that helps bring courts online for evening sessions, pop-up leagues, clinics, and private play where fixed lights are unavailable or too expensive to add.
  • •
    Rechargeable power
    No permanent electrical install required.
  • •
    Portable setup
    Bring the lights, place them, and play.
  • •
    Unlocks new hours
    Extend court usage beyond daylight and increase utilization.

How Pynga gets on court

The sport is designed for fast activation. That matters for parks departments, clubs, coaches, schools, apartment communities, and anyone trying to create more playable time from existing court inventory.
1

Start with a tennis court

Use the standard singles boundaries and service lines already painted on the surface.
2

Mark the kitchen line

Add the 8-foot kitchen line on each side with tape or paint — both are tennis-friendly.
3

Add lights if needed

Set up the rechargeable Lighting Kit for evening play where fixed court lights are unavailable.
4

Play and clear the court

Run sessions, clinics, or matches, then return the court to standard tennis use with minimal friction.
