Dimensions of a basketball backboard and other requirements for it. Standard height and size of a basketball hoop

    The basketball hoop is at a height of 3 meters 5 centimeters, but this is provided that the gym is normal. At our school, the gym was on the ground floor, and the ceilings in the school were not high, so the ring hung at a height of only 2 meters. It was very easy to throw the ball at him.

    Basketball is, in general, a folk game, so the requirements for equipment are different.

    Equipment for amateur basketball: There are no standards or rules here, everything is aimed at ease of transportation and installation of equipment.

    It may be like this

    Equipment for grassroots basketball: no fantasies, everything strictly complies with the Rules:

    The mounting height for the top edge of the basketball hoop is 3 meters 5 centimeters. There may be a tolerance of up to 6 cm. Clearly visible in this diagram. Other dimensions important for the location of the basketball hoop are also indicated.

    The basketball hoop (basket) is mounted on a basketball backboard, the lower edge of which is at a height of 2.75-2.9 meters. And the basketball itself basket is standard at height 3 meters 5 centimeters from the floor or, if measured in pounds, at a height of 10 pounds.

    An interesting question, I sometimes thought about this question myself, especially when, while switching channels, I came across basketball. It turns out that the basketball hoop is located at a distance of 3 meters and 5 cm from the ground.

    The basket is located at a height of 10 feet, translated into dimensional standards closer to us - 3.05 meters from the floor. The size of the basketball backboard is 180x105 cm. The distance from the bottom edge of the backboard to the floor should be 290 cm. The basket is attached at a distance of 0.15 m from the bottom edge of the backboard.

    The correct distance of the basketball hoop from the floor to the top is measured by a person trained in a special profession, not only accuracy is important here, but also the difference in slopes in one direction or the other, the correct parameters are: 3.5 meters from the floor.

    Basketball is played on an open court or in a sports hall, the height of which is at least seven meters. Dimensions 28 by 15 meters. The shield should be 180 by 105 centimeters in size. A basket is a metal ring on which a mesh with a hole is stretched. The mesh is attached at a distance of 3 meters 5 centimeters from the floor.

    There are only 12 people in one team, but each team puts five players on the field.

    A ball from close and medium distances is worth 2 points,

    A long-range ball is worth 3 points.

    A free kick counts as one point.

    Basketball is an Olympic sport, invented by James Naismith.

    The Basketball World Cup has been held since 1950, and the first European Championship was held in 1935

    The most famous basketball players are Clyde Drexler, George Mikan, Michael Jordan, Andrei Kirillenko

    In professional basketball, the dimensions of the backboard and its height are strictly regulated. It has a size of 1800x1050 mm and is located at a height of 3050 mm. In amateur basketball there are no special requirements, and is determined only by the conditions of use.

    According to established FIBA ​​standards, the lower edge of the basket is fixed at a height of 3050 millimeters from the floor, for both men's and women's teams. The basket itself is covered with a net without a bottom on a hoop with a diameter of 450 mm.

Women's basketball is a team sport, its main goal is to throw the ball into the opposing team's basket. Victory goes to those who earned the most points during the competition. Only tall and fast girls are selected for basketball. It is believed that this sport is very useful, so it is included in the sports training program for schools.

Women's basketball - rules of the game

Experts believe that women's basketball:

  • sharpens coordination;
  • trains muscles and breathing;
  • improves blood circulation;
  • strengthens the nerves.

These characteristics made the game very famous; the first rules were invented by the American James Naismith in 1891. The teacher wanted to make gymnastics lessons more interesting; at first, the teams simply threw balls into fruit baskets. Only a year later, James formulated the basic rules; at first there were 13 of them. And the rules of women's basketball at the international level were adopted only in 1932, at the first congress of the International Basketball Federation. The most extreme adjustments were made in 2004. The rules are simple:

  1. Two groups compete, with five participants from each.
  2. The goal of the game is to throw the ball into someone else's basket and prevent it from being thrown into yours.
  3. The game is played with hands only; kicking or stopping the ball is considered a violation.
  4. If the number of points is the same, the judge adds time and does so until the winner is determined.
  5. A close-range shot is awarded 2 points, a long-range shot is awarded 3 points, and a free throw is awarded 1 point.

Women's Basketball - Hoop Height

Women's volleyball has become so popular due to the fact that it is the least traumatic. It also improves health with a variety of activities:

  • walking and running;
  • stops, turns, throws;
  • jumping, catching and dribbling the ball.

The height of the basketball hoop from the floor is 10 feet or 3.05 meters. Men's basketball has the same standards. According to sports standards, the basket is fixed at a distance of 0.15 meters from the low edge of the basketball backboard, and the basket itself is covered with a net that has no bottom on the hoop. The bottom edge of the basket is fixed at a distance of 3 meters 5 centimeters from the floor; this rule is common for both men's and women's teams. There are a few more important nuances:

  1. The structure is placed so that it is impossible to move it, and the loads do not affect the position of the shield.
  2. The correct distance from the floor to the top is measured by a specialist, because not only accuracy plays a role, but also the difference in slopes in one direction and the other.

How many quarters are there in women's basketball?

In basketball, “clean” time is counted; the game lasts from 2 to 4 periods or quarters, 12 minutes each. Breaks are given for two minutes. In many sports competitions, time is divided into halves; women's basketball has the same rules. The stopwatch starts only when the ball is in play, but if it flies out of the field, the timer is stopped. The total playing time is from 40 to 48 minutes, everything is decided by the rules.

How long is a quarter in women's basketball?

How long is a quarter in basketball? For each, 10 minutes of non-playing time are allotted, taking into account breaks of 120 seconds between them. Only at the height of the game, between the second and third periods, 15 minutes are allocated for rest. But there are some deviations:

  1. In Europe, a quarter is 10 minutes long.
  2. In America they play for 12 minutes.
  3. In the NBA, the count is 12 minutes, but with timeouts and delays it runs up to about half an hour.

Rating of women's basketball teams

Women's basketball is a sport where the matches are no less exciting than those of men; the referee takes into account points and fines according to generally accepted world rules. To gain the right to play in the most prestigious tournament, the Russian team this year played 6 matches with basketball players from Greece, Bulgaria and Switzerland. The women's basketball team managed to win the World Cup and European Cup, topping the world rankings and displacing the previous champions from Hungary.

Women's Basketball - Movies

The largest number of basketball supporters live in America, where almost everyone in the country is familiar with this game. Thanks to such popularity, directors often made films about women's basketball, and they are successful even at the global box office. The most famous films:

  1. "Away match". The story of a coach who formed a team of black players and led them to championships.
  2. "Season of Victory". A formerly famous coach gets a chance to return to his favorite sport, but on one condition: the women’s team must be prepared in such a way that the girls reach the highest level.
  3. "Mighty Max". The story of women's team coach Katie Nash, who manages to turn weak outsiders into tournament winners in a short time.
Oh sport, you are the world!

There is nothing to do at the dacha, just bend metal, barbecue, drink beer.
We need to get involved in sports, both for ourselves and for the children.

True, to do this you will first have to “bend the metal” and celebrate this with beer and barbecue.

In the next episode of the "Made of Metal" project - make a basketball backboard.
A collaboration between me and my father.

Batko studied the standards for the height and dimensions of a basketball backboard, made the wooden backboard itself, painted it, made thumbscrews, and installed a post. Well, he also made critical comments about the metal part.

I came up with all the metal parts and welded the metal.

01. First, I sit down at the computer and figure out a drawing for fastening the shield and the pole itself.

The original plan was to place the ring in a different place and pull it with a solid hitch to the nearest tree. But there turned out to be a lot of roots there and they decided to install it in free flight and without a tie, which is why the ring at the top of the post remained rudimentary only in the drawing. The diagonals that are not in the drawing (green) were also canceled. We decided that the rigidity of the wooden shield and metal fastening would be enough to prevent “walking around”.

I also changed the method of strengthening the outrigger elbow during the move. Not a corner as in the drawing, but two stripes on the sides, see in the photo below.

A 5 cm profile was used for the post, a 6 cm profile was used for the bracket strung on the post. A strip was welded inside to prevent play.
Everything that is adjacent to the wooden panel is a 25 mm corner.

Important: the ring must be universal for both adults and children of different heights. Therefore, a height shift system was made.

02. The main large elements are welded: a pillar, an elbow, two solid fuel boosters of the stepson. The top edge of the pillar and stepsons is beveled: for rainfall drainage and for beauty.

03. More different types

05. There is a strip welded inside the elbow pipe. At the top of the hole.

06. The shield fixation system has been completed. No, this is not a bottle of Zatetsky Hus beer, this is gasoline.

07. Stepchildren are welded. There was an error in the calculations. It was assumed that the stepsons would strengthen the pillar against swinging, but they attached them lower than necessary. Next in the photo you will see that they protrude quite a bit from the ground. It would be possible to raise it 30-40 cm higher. But now the pillar still sways when playing.

08. The heels are welded into the part that goes underground.

10. Everything is painted

12. Hole

13. Leave it like this for a couple of days and you can continue. Part of the pillar is unpainted, because... There was no putty for metal, putty the seams. Putty was purchased in addition, puttied and painted a little later.

14. Up!

15. Shield assembly.

16. Done!

17. Now the ring is at its lowest height. Even lower than calculated, because one hole is not used (see the vacant thumbscrew). The height change occurs with the help of one man-power on a stepladder.

19. The village open basketball championship has begun!

Basketball- a sports game with a ball played by two teams of five people each. The goal of the players on each team is to throw the ball into the opponent’s hoop (basket) and prevent the opponent from throwing to you.

Ring- Located 3 meters from the floor (10 feet) Each team, as I already said, has 5 people on the field and 7 people in reserve, there are no restrictions on substitutions. For hitting the ball into the net from a short distance, 2 points are awarded; from a long distance, which is marked with a semicircle, 3 points are awarded.

Basketball backboard dimensions (standard sizes):

The basketball backboard is made of tempered glass with a thickness of 20 mm and has a length of 1.8 meters (maximum deviation + 30 mm) and a height of 1.05 meters (maximum deviation + 20 mm). In order to prevent injuries, shock-absorbing padding is installed on the lower and side, 35-45 cm high, edges of the basketball backboard. According to the FIBA ​​protocol, the basketball backboard is equipped with red lighting around the perimeter on the inside of the backboard. The basketball backboard is installed at a height of 3.05 meters - from the court surface to the basketball hoop, while the lower edge of the basketball backboard is at a height of 2.75 meters. Basketball backboards with rings protrude 1.2 meters above the basketball court from the end line. The inner diameter of metal basketball hoops with shock absorbers is 45 cm and 2 cm thick. The basketball hoop is a rope net - a bottomless basket 40 cm long. The marking of the basketball backboard along the perimeter and the area of ​​the ring zone (rectangle size 59 cm by 45 cm) is represented by a white stripe 5 cm wide.

Violations out - the ball goes out of bounds;

    jogging - a player in control of a live ball moves his legs beyond the limits established by the rules

    violation of dribbling, including carrying the ball, double dribbling;

    three seconds - an attacking player is in the free throw zone for more than three seconds while his team is in possession of the ball in the offensive zone;

    eight seconds - the team in possession of the ball from the defensive zone did not bring it into the attacking zone within eight seconds;

    24 seconds - the team possessed the ball for more than 24 seconds and did not make an accurate shot at the ring. A team gains the right to a new 24 second possession if the ball thrown around the ring touches the hoop or backboard, as well as if the defending team receives a foul.

    tightly guarded player - a player holds the ball for more than five seconds while the opponent is tightly guarding him;

    violation of returning the ball to the defensive zone - the team in possession of the ball in the attacking zone transferred it to the defensive zone.

Foul is a failure to comply with the rules caused by personal contact or unsportsmanlike conduct. Types of fouls:

    personal;

    technical;

    non-athletic;

    disqualifying.

A player who receives 5 fouls (6 fouls in the NBA) in a match must leave the playing court and cannot take part in the match (but is allowed to remain on the bench). A player who receives a disqualifying foul must leave the match venue (the player is not allowed to remain on the substitutes' bench).

The coach is disqualified if: he commits 2 technical fouls;

    a team official or substitute commits 3 technical fouls;

    the coach will commit 1 technical foul and a team official or substitute will commit 2 technical fouls.

Each foul counts as a team foul, with the exception of a technical foul by a coach, team official, or bench player.

Personal foul - a foul resulting from personal contact.

Punishment:

If a foul is committed on a player who is not in the shooting phase, then:

    if a team has not accumulated 5 team fouls or a foul is committed by a player whose team had the ball, then the affected team performs a throw-in;

    otherwise, the injured player takes 2 free throws;

If a foul is committed on a player in the act of shooting, then:

    if the shot is successful, it counts and the injured player takes 1 free throw;

    if the throw was unsuccessful, then the injured player makes the same number of free throws as the number of points the team would have earned had the throw been successful.

An unsportsmanlike foul is a foul committed as a result of contact in which the player did not attempt to play the ball within the rules.

Punishment:

If a foul is committed on a player who is in the shooting stage, then proceed in the same way as in the case of a personal foul. If a foul is committed on a player who is not in the shooting phase, the affected player takes 2 shots. After free throws are completed, the ball is thrown in by the injured team from outside the court at the extended center line. The exception is fouls committed before the start of the first period. In this case, after the free throws, a jump ball is played (as in the case of a normal start of the game). If a player commits 2 unsportsmanlike fouls during one match, he must be disqualified.

A disqualifying foul is a foul resulting from flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct. A disqualifying foul may be committed by a player, substitute, coach or team official.

Punishment:

The number of free throws and the throw-in after them are awarded in the same way as an unsportsmanlike foul.

A technical foul is a foul not caused by contact with an opponent. This could be disrespect for the referees, the opponent, delay of the game, procedural violations.

Punishment:

Any player of the team that did not violate the rules shoots 2 free throws. After the throws are made, the throw-off is the same as an unsportsmanlike foul.

Free throw lines, restricted areas and free throw areas.

The free throw line is drawn parallel to each end line. Its far edge is 5.80 m from the inner edge of the end line, its length should be 3.60 m. Its middle should be on an imaginary line connecting the midpoints of the two end lines.
Restricted areas are designated areas on the court bounded by the end lines, free throw lines and lines that start from the end lines. Their outer edges are 3 m from the middle of the end lines and end at the outer edge of the free throw lines. These lines, excluding the end lines, are part of the restricted area. The restricted areas may be painted a different color, but they must be the same color as the center circle.
Free throw areas are limited areas extended towards the playing court in semicircles with a radius of 1.80 m, the centers of which are located in the middle of the free throw lines. The same semicircles should be drawn with dotted lines inside the limited areas.
The spaces along the free throw areas occupied by Players during free throws are marked as shown in the diagram.

A semicircle with a radius of 6.25 m to the outer edge of its line, centered at the same point as above, until it joins the parallel lines.

Shields.

Shields must be made of an appropriate transparent material (preferably tempered safety glass), which is a monolithic piece.
If they are made from other opaque material(s), they should be painted white.
