There are 11 badminton courts at the Chief Sealth High School gyms. Badminton court dimension is the same as a pickleball court, except the kitchen line is 6 inches farther from the net for pickleball. Join our CSHS Crew to help set up and clean up on each league day. Below are the LEADS for each task.
Task | Set Up | Clean Up |
---|---|---|
Tape Lines | John R. | John R. |
Nets | Josephine W. | Mita P. |
Barrier | Maria C. | Drew C. |
League Admins (Rosina & Amy) and League Coordinator (Nicole) are also available for general inquiry
Measure and Taping Lines
This is the most time-consuming set up. Please review these steps before league day.
-
- RED tape is used as markers for kitchen lines and net location only
-
- We have red makers on the gym floor but some may come off between league days.
- Please let your Lead know if you notice missing markers.
-
- RED tape is used as markers for kitchen lines and net location only
-
- ORANGE tape is used for the 2 kitchen lines, 4 corners, and 4 Ts on each court.
-
- Volunteers for lines set up will be assigned to taping all 11 courts.
- Start with corners and Ts until the kitchen line markers are ready
- Kitchen Lines – the tapes align with the arrow tip. Do not cover the red tape markers
- Corners and Ts – tape covers the badminton line and align the outer edges

- ORANGE tape is used for the 2 kitchen lines, 4 corners, and 4 Ts on each court.

SwiftNets
11 SwiftNets to set up and break down every week. Nets are set up on the courts back-to-back and should be on top of the RED marking tape 7′ from the kitchen lines on each court.
