How to Use the Anywhere Pickleball Protractor

What Is the Anywhere Pickleball Protractor?

It’s a compact template that helps you:

• Mark the lines to create your own pickleball court
• Get a more official “court feel” on any hard  surface
• Skip the measuring tape, string, or chalk math

It’s especially helpful on unmarked surfaces (like driveways, schoolyards, or patios) where “winging it” can lead to tilted boundaries and lopsided games.

When Should I Use It?

Use the protractor anytime you want your court setup to feel clean, consistent, and ready-to-play—especially when:

• You’re setting up in a new space for the first time
• You want lines that match a proper court layout
• You’re using tape instead of chalk and want to place it right the first time
• You’ve got kids or friends helping with setup and need a visual guide

It turns “this looks about right” into “yep, that’s lined up.”

How to Use It (Quick Steps)

You’ll see it in action in the video, but here’s the basic setup flow:

1. Drop the Protractor – Place it at the center of your play area on a flat surface. Mark the center spot with chalk.
2. Mark the Key Points – Align the cord to each colored line and mark the dots with chalk—no measuring needed.
3. Connect the Dots – Use tape to draw your court lines by connecting the marks.
4. Add the Net – Set up your net between the sideline marks.
5. Start Playing! Grab your paddles and ball—your court is ready in minutes.

Done in under 5 minutes. No ruler. No arguing about what “straight” means.

Why We Made This

Because play should be easy, not overwhelming. And setup should take minutes—not math. We created the Anywhere Pickleball Protractor so that everyone (yes, even non-court-building parents) can mark a clean, confident space and jump into the fun faster.
