Basketball rims, or hoops, are orange painted goals attached to the backboard and used for scoring points in a game of basketball. Basketball rims today are designed as breakaway rims comprised of a hinge and spring that allow the rim to bend when a player dunks without shattering the backboard. The rim itself is made of a 5/8” | 1.6 cm steel diameter steel rod that is formed into a ring with an inner diameter of 18” | 45.72 cm. Basketball nets are hung from the bottom of the rim with lengths between 15”-18” | 38.1-45.7 cm. Basketball rims are mounted 10’ | 3.05 m from the court floor.

Height to hoop in basketball. Standard height and size of basketball hoop
Basketball is played by at both professional and amateur levels.
Official tournaments are subject to strict regulations set by sports organizations such as FIBA and NBA.
And if on the yard basketball field and on the lawn near the house you can use a backboard and a ring of any size, then for professional games the parameters of these basketball attributes must comply with strict standards.
International Basketball Federation size standards
International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is the founder of all international competitions , including the World Basketball Championship. According to the FIBA regulations, shields, baskets are made, markings are applied to the playing fields for almost all professional tournaments.
Photo 1. Diagram of a standard basketball backboard showing the correct dimensions of its backboard and ring.
Basketball screen is a structure consisting of a padded support, a rectangular sheet (of the shield itself), as well as metal rim with mesh (baskets), which is attached to this canvas.
The cloth is made of durable materials. It is either tempered safety glass or hardwood . Size 1.8 x 1.05 m . Horizontal deviations are allowed no more than at 3 cm , vertical - at 2 cm . The lower shield line is located at a height of 2. 9 m above ground level.
Features of standard hoop
As for the basketball hoop, it is made of strong steel. Rim, thickness 16-20 mm is dyed orange and has an internal diameter of from 45 to 45.9 cm.
A mesh is attached to ring in 12 places. Attachment points must be free of sharp edges, dents, crevices and chips that could injure the fingers of basketball players.
The hoop is attached to the backboard in such a way that the pressure exerted on the hoop is not transmitted to the screen. Therefore, the contact between the ring and the shield is excluded.
The top edge of the steel rim is strictly horizontal at a height of 3.05 m above ground level. A tolerance of max. 6 mm is allowed.
Important! There are two types rings: regular fixed and with cushioning , that is, capable of deviating a certain distance, and then returning to their place. A ring with cushioning must pass the durability test. If the hoop withstands a static load of 82-105 kg , it is usable.
The net attached to the rim is made of white cord and is 40-45 cm long. The top of the mesh is stiffer than the bottom. Thanks to this, mesh does not overlap on the ring is not tangled and the ball is unlikely to get stuck in it.
National Basketball Association Rules
NBA and FIBA Standards for Basketball Backboard and Hoop are nearly identical . The differences are as follows: distance from the bottom edge of the screen to the floor 2.75 m and the basket is attached at a distance of 0.31 m above the lower edge of the shield.
Basketball backboard markings
Screen markings applied white or black paint . White - used when the shield is transparent, black - if the surface is painted in a light color. Line width - not less than 50 mm.
Horizontally and vertically draw bounding bars , which, when connected, form a rectangle. Size 59 x 45 cm. Horizontal deviations are allowed no more than 20 mm , vertical - at 8 mm .
According to the rules, the upper edge of the base of the rectangle must be flush with the ring and 148-150 mm above the bottom edge shields.
Panel requirements
The following standards must be observed:
- Size 1.8 x 1.05 m.
- Strong material (solid safety glass or hardwood).
- Surface, non-reflective.
- Marking clear, at least 50 mm wide.
- Good fixation on a support.
In general, when choosing a basketball backboard , it is necessary to focus on needs teams or individual athletes.
It all depends on what games this shield will be used for : Outdoor or outdoor family entertainment, mini-basketball or adult professional tournaments.
Attention! The main thing to consider is structural strength , because some players hang on the ring during the throw. A badly installed support or incorrectly fixed backboard and basket can cause serious harm to the health of a basketball player.

Although basketball is a popular game, there is not always access to a real playground. But this is not necessary if you just want to throw the ball into the basket. Now it is possible to purchase ready-made equipment even for placement in an apartment or office. The size of the basketball hoop, although it has standard values, is only for official competitions. In everyday life, everyone can choose the size of the basket and the ball at will.
The history of basketball
Experts believe that this is perhaps the only game about which it is known for certain who invented it and when. It happened in 1891 in Springfield, USA. Dr. D. Naismith, a teacher at the Christian Youth Association's Learning Center, decided to come up with an outdoor indoor team ball game to replace American football. According to another version, he wanted to revive gymnastics in this way.
One way or another, they were offered rules according to which the players of the two teams had to throw the ball into baskets suspended at a height. Each team had its own zone and basket. In the hall, D. Naismith simply hung them on the balconies. The players had to hit the opponent's basket with the ball and protect their own from their hits. Whoever hits the target more times in the allotted time wins. There were rules for dribbling, penalties for violating the rules were stipulated. In those days, the size of the basketball hoop was not strictly regulated. Fruit baskets were used for these purposes. And the balls were then far from ideal shape. In order not to get them every time, they took out the bottom of the baskets.
Development of the game
Trial competitions showed that the rules needed to be changed. The spectators on the balconies, where the baskets hung, prevented the ball from getting inside. So the shields were born. Initially, they served as protection from the fans, but already the first games showed that it was even more interesting that way. The ball could hit the ring after a successful rebound from the shield. This added spice to the game and made it possible for teams to change tactics.
The size and height of the basketball hoop did not change significantly over time. At 1893 year wicker baskets for fruit ceased to be used in tournaments. To replace them, rings made of a metal rod were invented. A net was attached to it so that there would be no disputes about a successful hit. With it, it was better to see when the ball hit the target. In 1894, unified rules for basketball were proposed. The game was liked and quickly spread to Japan and China, South America and Europe. Basketball first appeared in Russia in 1906. In the twenties of the last century, it began to be introduced as a discipline in military and sports schools.
Professionals and amateurs
For an athlete who has linked his career with the game, it matters what size basketball hoop is used in training. The skills of determining the position for the throw, its strength, trajectory have been practiced for years. In the US, where basketball quickly moved from amateur to professional, good players became highly valued. The cost of individual contracts reached one dollar per minute of play. At that time, it was very good earnings. They encouraged the players to train hard to show good ball control on the court and high performance in shots on the basket.
The difference in the level of professional basketball players in the US and other countries where the game is not so popular was felt. For a long time, the Olympic Committee banned players from the NBA from participating in their tournaments. And when this restriction was lifted, the US team confidently defeated the best team from Croatia at that time. However, the professionals were still put to shame, because they were so sure of their advantage that they promised to win by 50 points. That final match of the Olympic Games ended with a score of 117:85. The victory of the professionals was obvious, but the "amateurs" gave a serious rebuff and managed to lose only 32 points.
Basketball hoop: dimensions, diameter
Back in 1893, when thoughtful rules of the game were proposed, it was decided to standardize the inventory according to uniform standards. Then the rings began to be made of metal, equipped with a mesh, securely and securely fastened to the shield and supporting structures at a certain height from the site. What are these standards?
Today, the playground should have dimensions of 28 × 15 m. The height of the enclosed space (ceiling) is at least 7 meters. The shield (bottom edge) is attached at a height of 290 cm from the floor. It has dimensions of 180x105 cm. The basket (a metal ring with a mesh) is attached to the shield at a height of 305 cm (respectively, 15 cm above the lower edge of the shield). The diameter of the ring should be within 45-45.7 cm. For its manufacture, a steel bar 16-20 mm in diameter is used. FIBA controls and approves playground equipment and inventory. Balls for official competitions are made of leather. Air pressure should ensure that the ball bounces to a height of 1.2-1.4 m after it falls from a height of 1.8 m.
Net
Any sports equipment must be injury-proof. The verified size of the basketball hoop also provides for the use of a standard size net with it and an acceptable configuration. It should be fastened in such a way as to minimize the possibility of pinching fingers during the game.
Net length standard is 40-45 cm. 12 loops are offered for attaching to the metal bar of the basket. For the manufacture of the mesh, a white cord of a certain stiffness is used. The weave configuration does not allow its edges to roll over during ring play or entanglement. The ball cannot get stuck and at the same time must pass with some delay, making it possible to capture the moment it hit the basket.
Design Features
It is not enough to use only a standard size basketball hoop for training. The height of its placement above the ground is no less important. The dimensions of the shield and the applied boundary lines (5 cm - width) marking the quadrangle (45 cm by 59 cm) behind the basket are also important. The material for the shields is often polycarbonate or tempered glass. Its surface should be smooth and even.
The shield is rigidly attached to the supporting base, with the plane perpendicular to the floor. The structure must not move during the game during throws and contacts. The lower edge and ends of the shield plane to a height of 35 cm, as well as all supporting structures, are upholstered with soft material, which excludes injury. In general-purpose sports halls, mobile racks with a basket are now increasingly used. They can be quickly installed and dismantled if necessary. In basketball halls, backboards are attached to the ceiling or walls. They can also be hung on special stretch marks.
The basket can be attached rigidly or with a shock absorber. In this case, the plane of the ring should not bend more than 30 degrees and immediately return to its original position. Regardless of the method of fastening, the design must absorb 35-50% of the load of the player's weight on contact.
Do-it-yourself basketball hoop: dimensions
Playgrounds for training athletes and competitions are equipped by the relevant organizations according to existing standards. To be able to practice at home, you can purchase a separate board with a basket and hang it in a suitable place or install a ready-made and fully equipped rack. But you can do everything yourself.
If there are plans to engage in this sport in the future, then when making the backboard, it is desirable to maintain the standard size of a basketball hoop. It will be problematic to bend and weld a steel bar with a diameter of 16 mm without suitable equipment and locksmith skills. But you can adapt an old aluminum hoop for rotation for these purposes. It is cut, bent to the desired diameter and secured with an outer insert.
The shield can be cut from a piece of chipboard, fiberboard of a suitable size or knocked down from boards. It is best to attach the basket to it on the bracket. It can be picked up at a hardware store. It is worth thinking about additional spacers on the sides of the ring, since fixing at one point is not enough and upon contact with the ball, the basket will inevitably sag more and more.
You can make a net using 24 pieces of rope. Their length is chosen 2-2.5 times longer than the diameter of the ring. The edges are knitted to the hoop through equal segments. Then the ropes are tied in pairs in the middle. In the next step, the process is repeated with free edges. And so again. The result is a tapered mesh. The inventory, of course, will be far from standards and perfection, but it should be enough for training at home with the ball.
Basketball basket ring must have the following design: minimum inner diameter is 45 cm and maximum 45.7 cm. The ring is painted bright orange.
The ring is made of durable metal with a diameter of at least 16 mm, the maximum diameter of the bar can be no more than 20 mm. On the bottom of the ring there must be a device for installing nets, such that would not allow injury to the fingers.
Net holders must be secure, free of sharp edges and crevices to prevent players' fingers from getting caught in them.
The ring is attached to the shield structure in such a way that no forces applied to the ring are in any way transferred directly to the shield. Therefore, there must be no direct contact between the ring, the device that secures the ring to the shield, and the shield itself. However, the gap must be such that fingers cannot get there.
The upper plane of the ring is located in a horizontal plane at a height of 3.05 m from the level of the playing court, at an equal distance from the vertical edges of the backboard, and the nearest point of the inside of the ring must be at a distance of 15 cm from the front surface of the backboard.
The fastening systems of any ring must compensate for 35-50% of the energy that is applied to the ring. The difference between the rings installed on the same platform in this parameter should not exceed 5%.
It is allowed to install rings with a shock absorber. At the same time, they must meet the following requirements - the rebound characteristic of the ball must be similar to the characteristic of the ring without a shock absorber. The shock absorber must fully provide this characteristic and at the same time protect the ring and shield.
The design of the ring and its fastening system must ensure the safety of the players. For rings with a “locking system”, the shock absorber must not disconnect the fastening system from the ring under a static load in the range of 82-105 kg, which can be applied to the upper edge of the ring at the farthest point from the backboard. The ring must not deviate downwards more than 30 degrees from the initial position when the mechanism is triggered due to the loads applied to it. The ring should instantly return to its original position as soon as the impact on it has ceased.
Nets for rings are made according to the following parameters: the net must have 12 fastening loops. The net must be at least 40 cm long and not more than 45 cm long. The upper part of the net must be such as to avoid possible throwing into the ring, possible entanglement, throwing the ball out of the basket, getting the ball stuck in the net. For their manufacture, only a rigid white cord is used.
The popularity of a healthy lifestyle in our country is gaining momentum from year to year. One cannot but rejoice at the fact that many have "turned their faces" to the problem of physical inactivity, excess weight, unhealthy habits, etc. People are becoming more and more interested in various sports, and simply in physical activity. This applies to both adults and children, adolescents, and youth.
Team sports are especially popular with both amateur athletes and fans. And although football in our country has always been out of competition, other ball games also have many ardent supporters. And one of them is basketball.
What do we know about basketball?
Everyone knows that basketball is a ball sport with two teams of five people each, the goal of which is to throw as many balls as possible into the opponent's ring and fight against similar actions on his part.
But how many have thought about the fact that, like every game, basketball has its own specific rules regarding the composition of players, the size of the court, equipment and other nuances, expressed in numerical form. For example, do you know the standard size for a basketball hoop and backboard?
Meanwhile, this information is rather curious. For example, knowing the size of a basketball backboard, you can easily mount a homemade playground in your own yard and arrange amateur competitions.
Basic Rules
The organizers of the yard basketball team should be aware that it can consist of 5 people who are simultaneously on the playing field. Another 7 people have the right to wait their turn in the reserve, and there are no restrictions on the number of replacements.
Two points are provided by the rules of the game for throwing a basketball into the basket from a short distance and three points from a position located at a long distance, this place is marked with a semicircle.
Basketball backboard dimensions and other nuances
Let's take a closer look at the backboard itself. They make it from a material such as tempered glass, which has a thickness of 20 millimeters. The standard dimensions of a basketball backboard look like this: length - 180 cm, deviation is allowed no more than 3 centimeters. In height - 105 cm with a deviation, respectively, within 2 centimeters. Its side ribs, like the lower one, are provided with shock-absorbing upholstery to avoid accidents.
The FIBA protocol regulates the equipment of basketball backboards with lighting having a red color, which is applied from the inside around the perimeter. The shield is installed strictly at a certain height. The distance from the bottom edge to the floor is 275 centimeters. The height at which the basketball hoop is attached is 305 centimeters.
Other sizes
But it's not just the size of the backboard that matters. Other numbers regarding equipment for this sport are:
- Backboards may protrude beyond the playing area 1.2 meters from the end line.
- Any basketball hoop must have an inner diameter of 45 cm and a thickness of 2 cm. The rope net underneath is arranged in the form of a basket without a bottom, the length of which is 40 cm. a rectangle measuring 59 x 45 cm is surrounded by a white stripe five centimeters wide.
Backboards and stands used for basketball games, complete with rings and baskets, can be of two types and, accordingly, sizes - for adults and for children. Sizes of equipment for adults are contained in the official FIBA rules. Children's parameters correspond to equipment for mini-basketball, which has a different size of the basketball hoop and backboard.
As a rule, if the game is played in a sports hall, the backboards are mounted to the wall or ceiling, lowered on special devices. Now in the halls, mobile racks and basketball backboards that can be moved around have begun to be used everywhere. On the street, both stationary and home-made shields are also possible, which are made of plexiglass or metal with polycarbonate.
Children's basketball backboard size
Let's move on to children's basketball. What are the dimensions of the basketball backboard in this case? His drawing looks like a rectangle, having 120 cm in height and 90 cm in width. The material is polycarbonate. Such a mini-backboard should protrude 60 cm above the basketball court from the field marking line. Mount it, raising it to a level of 230 cm above the floor or platform. The ring is fixed 30 cm above its lower edge. And although the dimensions of the basketball backboard for children differ from the standard ones, its markings and the size of the basket for the ball are similar to the adult version.
Choosing the right equipment for an outdoor basketball court and installing it securely is a very important task for players. Compliance with all accepted standards will ensure strict adherence to the rules, the certainty of victory and the pleasure of a real game.
How to equip a basketball court in the yard
Although this game is not as popular in our country as, say, in the USA, the ranks of its fans are constantly growing. This is a great option for spending time outdoors with a child, especially for supporters of a healthy lifestyle.
Almost all parents can make basketball equipment, and it can be installed almost anywhere. Let's look at what it takes to set up a homemade basketball court in your own yard. To work, it is enough to know the dimensions of the basketball backboard, the drawing of which is quite simple.
So, we should get a sheet of chipboard or plywood, a metal tube or rod, a mesh and a metal corner. If a solid sheet of plywood or chipboard could not be found, the shield can be knocked down from separate boards.
What dimensions can a homemade shield have?
For backyard basketball it is not necessary to follow the standard parameters. It is not so important what size of the basketball backboard you will have, the main thing is that a square for throwing the ball can fit in its field, which, as mentioned above, is 45 x 59 centimeters in size. The ring itself with a diameter of 45 cm is easy to bend from a tube or rod. It is attached to a metal corner with bolts or welding. The dimensions of the mounts themselves are not so important, only a 15-centimeter distance between the ring and the shield should be observed.
The net on the hoop is needed to keep track of ball hits. In case of its absence, you can take a mesh string bag without a bottom. A self-made shield is mounted on any pole, both wooden and metal. If there are none in your yard, and for some reason it is not possible to bring and dig it yourself, the shield can be mounted directly on the wall of a house or any building.
When you make a basketball backboard with your own hands, its dimensions and the level of fastening may not be so strictly observed. It is only important to maintain the required height of the lower edge. But the standard distance of 275 cm can be reduced if young children are expected to participate. Indeed, it is much more difficult for them to throw the ball to a great height, and interest from a useful and gambling game will be quickly lost.
Play for your health!
As you can see, it is not difficult at all to equip your child and his friends with a home-made basketball court without leaving your home yard. To do this, it is enough to unite two or three participants (as a rule, dads of future players), "organize" simple materials at hand and spend an evening or two on the installation of equipment.
Meanwhile, playing basketball can not only give a lot of joy to young participants, but also to a large extent improve their health, which is especially important in our time prone to physical inactivity. And parents can take an example from young players, and a wonderful habit of a healthy lifestyle will take root in families and become a good tradition.
Besides, who knows, maybe the current amateur debutants will become real stars of national and world basketball in the future!
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 first floor, and the ceilings at the school were not high, so the ring hung at a height of only 2 meters. It was very easy to throw the ball into it.
Basketball is generally a folk game, so the equipment requirements are different.
Equipment for amateur basketball : there are no standards and rules here, everything is aimed at convenience in transporting and installing equipment.
Maybe so
Equipment for grassroots basketball : no fantasy, everything strictly complies with the Rules:
Mounting height for the upper edge of the basketball hoop 3 meters 5 centimeters. There may be a tolerance of up to 6 cm. It is clearly visible in this diagram. Other important dimensions 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 basket itself is standardly located at a height of 3 meters 5 centimeters from the floor or, if measured in pounds, then at a height of 10 pounds.
An interesting question, I sometimes thought about this question myself, especially when, switching channels, I got to 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 at a height of 10 feet, in terms of dimensional standards closer to us - 3.05 meters from the floor. The size of the basketball backboard is 180x105 cm. 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 as follows: 3.5 meters from the floor.
Basketball is played in an open area or in a sports hall at least seven meters high. Dimensions 28 by 15 meters. The shield should be 180 by 105 centimeters in size. The basket is a metal ring, on which a mesh with a hole is stretched. The grid is fixed at a distance of 3 meters 5 centimeters from the floor.
There are only 12 people in one team, but five players from each team are put on the field.
Close and mid range ball is worth 2 points,
A ball from long range is worth 3 points.
Free kick counts as one point.
Basketball is an Olympic sport, invented by James Naismith.
World Basketball Championships have been held since 1950, and the first European Championship was held in 1935
The most famous basketball players are Clyde Drexler, George Miken, 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. There are no special requirements in amateur basketball, and it is determined only by the terms of use.
According to the established FIBA standards, the lower edge of the basket is fixed at a height of 3050 millimeters from the floor, both for the game of men's and women's teams. The basket itself is covered with mesh without a bottom on a hoop with a diameter of 450 mm.
