Basketball Pro
Basketball Pro – Overview of a Basketball Court Although there can be slight variations to the marking and size of a basketball court, there are some aspects that are standard and will be followed accordingly.
If there are any variations, they will predominantly waiver between the professionally used courts and the courts that are used at high schools and leisure courts.
The Design of the Court
The National Basketball Association and Women’s National Basketball Association courts are usually designed to measure 94 feet long and 50 feet wide.
As for the Federation International de Basketball courts for international play, they are slightly smaller at 92 feet long and 49 feet wide.
The National Federation of State High School Associations has a different set of sizes that they adhere to which would be around at least 80 feet in length and 50 feet in width.
The free throw lane is usually designed to measure about 6 feet in radius. However, the NBA and the WNBA use a 16 feet wide radius for their free throw lanes. The three-point arc is 19feet, 9 inches from the rim for NFHS and women’s NCAA game formats. As for the WNBA the measurement is 20 feet and 6 inches.
Another marking includes the center circle which is usually designed in a 12 feet diameter. However, this too varies on the level of the game being played.
The difference would really depend on the players, which can range from high school to professional leagues. The NBA and FIBA courts have “no charge” zones in the front of the basket and the NBA restricted zone is 4 feet from the center of the basket. As for the FIBA zone, it is usually 1.25 m from the center of the rim.
