    A basketball court is a flat, rectangular area where the game of basketball is played. It's marked with lines that define the boundaries of the play area, the halfway line, the three-point lines, the free-throw lines and circle, and the lanes or zones. The court typically has a hardwood surface and includes two basketball hoops on either ends. Standard dimensions vary based upon the level of play such as professional, college, or high school.

  1. Basketball court

    In basketball, the basketball court is the playing surface, consisting of a rectangular floor with tiles at either end. In professional or organized basketball, especially when played indoors, it is usually made out of a wood, often maple, and highly polished. Outdoor surfaces are generally made from standard paving materials such as concrete or asphalt. Basketball courts come in different shapes and sizes and colors. In the NBA, the court is 94 feet by 50 ft. Under International Basketball Federation rules, the court is minutely smaller, measuring exactly 28 m by 15 m. A high school court is slightly smaller, at 84' by 50' and some elementary schools have courts measuring 74' x 42'. In amateur basketball, court sizes vary widely. The baskets are always 10' above the floor. Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc is worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player's foot touching the line is worth two points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within the three-point arc.
