For safety reasons, the design must comply with the established rules. The basketball backboard is mounted only on iron mechanisms, observing the requirements of dimensions and markings. Also, backboards should be bright colors so that players can see where to throw the ball, even at night.

The most commonly used mounting options are:

How high to hang a basketball hoop is regulated by the requirements prescribed in the NBA, as are the standards for the size of a basketball hoop. The mesh is attached to the circle at the same time in 12 places, avoiding the appearance of sharp edges, chips. This is necessary to prevent injury to players. Direct contact between the ring and the shield is unacceptable due to the possible appearance of external pressure, which can lead to the destruction of the structure.

The strength of the fastening must be checked using special tools. Poorly fixed parts can cause injury to athletes during the game process.

Important nuances

Each game is regulated by international rules, which also apply to the parameters of inventory :

• basketball backboard dimensions - height 1.05 m, width 1.8 m;
• distance between the ring and the shield - 15 cm;
• size of the basketball field - 28 × 15 m;
• the height of the basketball hoop is also standard - from the floor 3.05 m.

Basketball stand is made of high quality steel or heavy duty tempered glass. The second option is the most used among sports equipment manufacturers. Sometimes shields are made from less quality materials - plastic, fiberglass. Such products do not have a long service life, they are intended for fans who play basketball as a hobby.

The shield must be firmly attached to the supporting base strictly perpendicular to the floor plane. The design should not move under any external influence: throw, accidental contact. In order to avoid injury, it is upholstered with soft material.

The court can hold 1 or 2 boards depending on the size of the area and the type of game. For basketball in the classical sense, the size of the backboard and hoop remains virtually unchanged. They are installed at right angles parallel to the front lines at a distance of up to 120 cm. During the installation process, the structures comply with all technical safety requirements.

The main feature of the basketball hoop is the presence of soft upholstery with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm, due to which the manufacturer extends the life of individual parts.

According to the accepted rules, the size of the backboard for fixing the basketball hoop located on the same court should not differ from another by more than 5%. That is why you should order and install sports equipment at the same time. Before starting the game, it is necessary to check the reliability of fixing all the details.

Basketball hoop size

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.

The game ball varies in circumference and weight and is respectively: for men - 74.9-78 cm, 567-650 g, and for women - 72.4-73.7 cm, 510-567 g. 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 available 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 fixed rigidly 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.

High standards to be met: backboard sizes for amateurs and pros

Basketball is played at both professional and amateur levels.

Official tournaments are subject to strict regulations, which are determined by sports organizations such as FIBA ​​and NBA.

And if a backboard and a ring of any size can be used on the yard basketball field and on the lawn near the house, then for professional games the parameters of these basketball attributes must comply with strict standards.

The 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. Scheme of a standard basketball backboard showing the correct dimensions of its backboard and ring.

Basketball screen is a structure consisting of a support covered with upholstery, a rectangular sheet (the backboard itself), and a metal rim with a net (basket) that is attached to this sheet.

The cloth is made of durable materials. This is either tempered safety glass or hardwood. The size is 1.8 x 1.05 m. Horizontal deviations are allowed by no more than 3 cm, vertically by 2 cm. The lower shield line is located at a height of 2.9 m above the site level.

Features of the standard hoop

As for the basketball hoop, it is made of strong steel. The rim, 16-20 mm thick, is painted orange, and has an inner diameter of 45 to 45.9see

A mesh is attached to the ring in 12 places. There should be no sharp edges, dents, cracks or chips in the attachment points that could injure the fingers of basketball players.

Attach the hoop to the backboard in such a way that the pressure exerted on the hoop is not transmitted to the screen. Therefore, contact between the ring and the shield is excluded.

The upper edge of the steel rim is strictly horizontal at a height of 3.05 m above the platform. A maximum deviation of 6 mm is allowed.

Important! There are two types of rings: conventional fixed and shock-absorbing, 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 can withstand a static load of 82-105 kg, it is suitable for use.

The net attached to the rim is made of white cord and is 40-45 cm long. The upper part of the net is stiffer than the lower part. Thanks to this, the net does not overlap on the ring, does not get confused, and there is little chance that the ball will get stuck in it.

National Basketball Association Rules

NBA and FIBA ​​standards for backboard and hoop are almost identical. The differences are as follows: the distance from the lower edge of the shield to the floor is 2.75 m, and the basket is fixed at a distance of 0.31 m above the lower edge of the shield.

Basketball backboard markings

Screen markings are applied with white or black paint. White - used when the shield is transparent, black - if the surface is painted in a light color. The width of the lines is at least 50 mm.

Boundary bars are drawn horizontally and vertically on the screen, which, when connected, form a rectangle. Size 59 x 45 cm. Horizontal deviations are allowed by no more than 20 mm, vertically by 8 mm.

According to the rules, the upper edge of the base of the rectangle should be flush with the ring and 148-150 mm above the lower edge of the shield.

Shield requirements

The following standards must be observed:

1. Durable material (monolithic impact-resistant glass or hard wood).
2. Non-reflective surface.
3. Clear markings, at least 50 mm wide.
4. Good support.

In general, when choosing a basketball backboard, it is necessary to focus on the needs of the team or individual athletes.

It all depends on what games this backboard will be used for: on the street playground or for family entertainment in the local area, for mini-basketball or professional tournaments for adult teams.

Attention! The main thing to consider is the strength of the structure, because some players hang on the ring during the throw. A badly installed support or an improperly fixed backboard and basket can cause serious harm to the health of a basketball player.

Watch a video showing how to assemble a professional looking basketball backboard.

When buying a shield, it is recommended to seek help from a specialist who will help you make the right choice and purchase a really high-quality thing. If the screen is purchased for amateur games, some deviations from the regulations of the basketball organizations are allowed, but when the backboard is purchased for professional tournaments, it must comply with the regulations.

Requirements for basketball attributes were developed in such a way that the game was understandable, interesting and spectacular for both the athletes themselves and for the referees and spectators.

Share with your friends! Basketball hoop and backboard size

Basketball requires a court with basket structures along the short edges. The dimensions of the basketball hoop and backboard must meet certain requirements. These elements, first of all, are made so strong as to ensure the complete safety of competing athletes.

The standard diameter of a basketball hoop is 45 cm. However, this parameter can be increased to a maximum of 45.7 cm. It is always bright orange in color. For the manufacture of the ring, durable metal is used, the diameter of which is at least 16 mm. It should be noted that the maximum thickness of a basketball hoop is 20 mm. Among other things, it provides special devices that are designed to install the grid. These fasteners should not allow the player to injure the fingers, therefore they are made in such a way that they do not have slots and sharp edges.

Now a few words about how the basketball hoop is suspended. On a rack, which is located no closer than two meters from the front line, a shield is mounted at a right angle. The structure must be installed in such a way that it is impossible to move it. The basket itself is screwed firmly with the condition that the loads acting on it do not affect the position of the shield in any way. Rings with shock absorbers are also not prohibited, however, provided that the characteristics of the rebound of the ball, as well as other parameters, do not change compared to the standard version. Moreover, under the condition of exposure to a static load at the extreme point of the basket from the shield, which is in the range from 82 to 105 kilograms, the fastening system and the shock absorber should not be separated. In this case, the deviation of the ring downwards from the applied forces by no more than 30 degrees is allowed. After the end of their action, it should return to its original position instantly.

The height of the basketball hoop is 3.05 meters from the level of the court. The distance from it to the front side of the shield is 15 cm. The nets that are used to equip baskets have twelve fastening loops. Their length should be in the range from 40 to 45 cm. Their upper part is made in such a way as to prevent entanglement, throwing on the basket, as well as the ball getting stuck or returning it in the opposite direction.

Not only the size of the basketball hoop, but also the parameters of the backboard play an important role. Its width should be 1.8 m, and the height - 1.05 meters. Its lower part is located from the site at a height of 2.9m. The material for the manufacture of the shield is now most often tempered glass. Its hardness should correspond to the degree of hardness of a tree having a thickness of 3 cm. The edges of the front side are marked with lines 5 cm wide. The structures on which the shields are hung are upholstered with soft materials.

As a final note, the ring attachment system compensates for almost half of the energy it is exposed to. With regard to possible deviations of the parameters listed above, according to the official rules, the difference between two baskets of the same playing area should not exceed 5 percent.

FIBA ​​and NBA basketball hoop height standards: why is it so important to follow them?

Basketball is a game in which the main goal is to get the ball into the opponent's ring as many times as possible. Professional competitions are held on indoor areas with an ideal surface.

The playing field is marked with lines and zones, and structures with shields and baskets attached to them are installed on both sides of the playing field.

The size of the court, the thickness of the marking lines, the parameters of the backboard and the height of the fastening of the ring are regulated by FIBA ​​- the International Basketball Federation and the NBA - the National Basketball Association.

A basketball hoop is one of the main attributes of the game. It is in him that every basketball player wants to hit the ball.

It is a rim to which the mesh is attached, and this structure is subsequently installed on the board with a certain height. There are several types of basketball hoops.

An inexpensive option would be regular hard. These are usually made of wear-resistant materials (for example, durable steel).

They can be seen in family playgrounds, outdoor basketball courts, school and university halls. But in professional tournaments, a fixed one is used, which is a rigid structure that can cushion (spring).

It is strong, durable, and helps prolong the life of both the backboard and the stand itself because it transfers only part of the load to the backboard. For the price, such models will be much more expensive than their counterparts, which are not able to spring.

Attention! Depreciation is an important feature. Since athletes like to show all kinds of tricks in competitions in the halls and at street tournaments, including hanging on it, the fixed ring with cushioning fully justifies its cost.

At what height from the floor is the basket in basketball: standards

Basketball ring standards are regulated by FIBA ​​rules, because it is under the auspices of this federation that all international competitions, including the World Basketball Championship, are held.

Photo 1. Hard steel basketball hoop and backboard set up on a street court.

Here are some federation requirements for a ring for professional competition:

• Made of solid steel. Inner diameter 45–45.9 cm.
• Rod thickness 16–20 mm.
• Color orange.
• Has 12 mesh attachment holes.
• Smooth, safe, free from chips, dents or other defects.
• The gap between the fastening device and the ring is no more than 8 mm (so that the fingers of the athletes cannot get there).
• Any force transferred to the ring and basket must not be completely transferred to the backboard (this is dangerous for players who can hang on the rim and tip the whole structure on themselves).
• The top edge is located above the level of the platform at a height of 305 cm. A difference in values ​​of 6 mm maximum is allowed. The ring is located clearly in the middle of the shield at the same distance from its vertical edges.
• If the ring has the property of damping, then it must be tested for strength before it enters service.

Help! It should not come off under the influence of a static load of 82-105 kg.

How far is the backboard for the game?

The parameters of the basketball backboard, on which the basket is attached, are also subject to certain requirements.

It is made of either solid tempered glass or hardwood. It is a rectangle with dimensions of 1.8 x 1.05 m, at least 3 cm thick.

According to the FIBA ​​regulations, the discrepancy in the length of the backboard is a maximum of 30 mm, in width - 20 mm. It has markings on it.

If the material is transparent glass, then the markings are applied with white paint, in other cases - black. Line width - 50 mm. The boundaries of the shield are highlighted with a bounding line that forms a rectangle.

The upper edge of the base of the rectangle is on the same level with the ring and 15 - 15.2 cm above the lower edge of the shield.

The shield is mounted on a support in such a way that its lower edge is located at a distance of 2.75–2.9meters above the level of the playing field from the floor.

Important! Professional basketball competitions are held mainly on specially equipped indoor grounds. The height of the ceilings there is from 7 m, in some - from 12 m. Proceeding from this, the standards for installing the ring and the shield above the level of the site were developed.

For amateur competitions and for school games, it is not necessary to strictly comply with these requirements, since it is not always possible to choose a hall with an appropriate ceiling height.
