It means that it is your turn to act. It also implies that someone else has done their part and cannot continue without action or input from you.

It is a phrase that can be used all different ways. If your playing a game it means it's your turn. If you are discussing something with someone and they say the ball is in your court then that means it's up to you. There are more but it's to frinken early for me.hahaha..You get the idea anyway.

It means you have a court and a ball is dropped in it. That means the ball is in your court. If it was your friends court it would say the ball is in your friends court.

The phrase "the ball is in your court" means that the decision is yours, you have the control of the situation.

Think of it as tennis... if the ball is on your side of the court, that means it is your turn to do something with it... Your turn to take action...

in reference to tennis - it means it's your time to play - to follow through - (by hitting the ball back to your opponent) - it's your turn.
