 MEASUREMENT

 International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the court is slightly

smaller, measuring 28 by 15 meters.
 Basketball Court Lines:
 All lines should be 5cm in width and should be painted in a single colour throughout
(usually white)
 Hoop:
 In amateur basketball, court sizes can vary widely. One thing that remains identical on all
basketball courts are the baskets (also known as hoops) are always 3.05 m (10ft) above
the floor.
 Three Point Arc:
 The FIBA regulation three point arc is 6.75 m away from the basket. Any shot made
outside of the three point arc is worth three points instead of the normal two. The
distance from the hoop to the three point arc varies for under different regulations.

 No-Charge Semi-Circle (Restricted Area)

 The no-charge semi-circle lines consist of a semi-circle with a radius of 1.25m measured
from the point on the floor directly under the exact center of the basket to the inner
edge of the semi-circle.
 Center circle: The only two players permitted to enter this area prior to the tipoff are
the players contesting the jump ball (usually but not always centers). Both players jump
when the referee throws the ball in the air, each attempting to tap the ball into the
hands of a player of their own team.
 Low post area: The low post is defined as the areas that are closest to the basket but
outside of the free throw lane. This area is fundamental to strategy in basketball.
Skilled low post players can score many points per game without ever taking a jump
shot.
