Free tennis court layout CAD block in DWG
By Sumana Kumar · Published 2 Jun 2022 · Updated 27 Aug 2025
A tennis court layout is one of those drawings where getting the line markings right the first time saves a great deal of rework, because every line relates to the others by fixed offsets. This page offers a free tennis court layout CAD block in DWG, drawn at true scale with the baselines, sidelines, service boxes and net position already set out, so you can place a correct court onto a site plan or a sports-facility drawing in a single insertion. It is free for personal and commercial work, with no signup or attribution.
Whether you are planning a single club court, a school MUGA or a multi-court tennis centre, starting from a properly proportioned court block means the rest of the design — fencing, run-off, access paths and floodlights — grows from a court that is already correct.
What the court layout block represents
The block is the full set of playing lines for a tennis court: the baselines, the singles and doubles sidelines, the service lines and centre service line, the centre marks and the net line. Drawn to scale, it is the setting-out drawing a contractor marks from, and the reference a designer arrays across a site.
A well-built block keeps the lines, the net and any surround on tidy layers so you can issue a clean line-marking plan or a fuller court drawing with fencing and run-off. Because it is a single block reference, the whole court inserts, rotates and copies as one object, which is what you want when you are placing several courts in a row.
Views and what is included
A court is a plan-view exercise, and that is what this block delivers — the playing area seen from above with all the lines in their correct relationship. Place it on a site plan to test orientation and fit, or array it to lay out a bank of courts. Where the download includes the net and post positions, those are set on the court centre so an elevation or section can be referenced off them.
Keep the court on its own layer so you can freeze it to show a bare site and thaw it to show the developed sports facility, both from the same drawing.
Typical sizing to design around
Use these as planning figures and confirm against the governing standard. The marked playing area of a full court is around 23.77 m long, with a doubles width of about 10.97 m and a singles width of about 8.23 m. The net runs across the middle. What turns a court into a buildable facility, though, is the run-off: a generous clear margin beyond the baselines and a smaller one beyond the sidelines, so players have room to chase a ball safely.
Orientation matters as much as size. Courts are usually set out with the long axis running roughly north–south so the low sun does not sit in a server's eyes. The block fixes the court; you then position it on the site for the best solar orientation and add fencing at the run-off boundary.
How to insert and orient the court
The block is full size in millimetres. Insert at scale 1 in a millimetre drawing, 0.001 in a metre drawing, or set INSUNITS to millimetres so AutoCAD rescales automatically. Run INSERT, pick the court centre or a baseline corner as the insertion point, then rotate the whole court to the orientation that gives the best sun angle and fits the available land.
Move the court onto a sports-marking layer, then offset the run-off boundary and draw the fence line and gates around it. For a multi-court centre, ARRAY the court block at the centre-to-centre pitch that includes the shared run-off, so adjacent courts share a sensible gap and the whole bank lines up.
Where the court layout block is used
Tennis court layout blocks belong in sports-facility master plans, school and university grounds, club and leisure-centre schemes, residential and hotel amenity drawings, and landscape site plans. They pair with fencing, floodlight, path and the broader sports-court blocks in the fitness and sports library to build a complete outdoor sports scheme.
Because the file is free and licence-clear, it suits feasibility studies and concept masterplans where you need to test how many courts a site can take. The same court block carries from an early capacity study through to a coordinated marking and construction plan without being redrawn.
From one court to a facility
The advantage of a single correct court block is that the whole facility inherits its accuracy. Keep the playing lines on one layer and the run-off, fencing and services on others, so you can issue a clean line plan for the surfacing contractor and a fuller drawing for the civils and electrical scope.
If you attribute each court with a number, a schedule can list court count, surface type and floodlight provision straight from the drawing. When the bank of courts is settled, WBLOCK a court-plus-fence-bay unit so the next facility reuses a tested layout, including the shared run-off spacing that determines how tightly courts can be packed. That single reusable bay is what lets you scale a two-court club scheme up to a multi-court centre without resetting the lines each time.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is the tennis court layout CAD block free for commercial use?+
Yes. It downloads free in DWG with no signup, no watermark and no attribution, and it is cleared for commercial sports-facility, site and line-marking drawings.
Does the block include the run-off area?+
The block fixes the marked playing lines and net. You then offset the run-off margin around it to the figure your governing standard requires, and add fencing at that boundary.
How should a tennis court be oriented?+
Courts are usually set out with the long axis roughly north–south so low sun does not blind a server. The block lets you rotate the whole court to the best orientation for the site.
Can I use it to lay out several courts?+
Yes. Array the court block at a centre-to-centre pitch that includes the shared run-off, so adjacent courts keep a sensible gap and the whole bank aligns.
