The basketball backboard and the transportable stand of the same name are inextricably linked into a single whole, like parts of the installation mechanism for a productive game and initial training in basketball. Craftsmen who know their business, amateurs in the current category and the children's segment on the universal sports ground will definitely be greeted by a design of 2 types of cladding and sizes, equipped together in a package with rings and a walk-through mesh basket.

Basketball backboard dimensions:

A basketball backboard in a gym for adult athletes, as follows from the public set of basketball regulations from FIBA, must be made of tempered glass with a thickness of at least 20 mm on a steel frame without a central crossbar. The glass is pressed from the front side by an L-shaped strip made of aluminum profile along the perimeter of parallel length 1.8 and width 1.05 meters with a tolerance of 3-2 mm. A marking of white lines encircles the transparent panorama, clearly highlighting its edge and an internal auxiliary rectangle measuring 59x45 cm, indicating the correct angle of the direction of the ball's rebound into the ring. To confirm that the basketball has entered the basket, a sound signal sounds and a color alert lights up, which can be viewed from anywhere in the stadium or auditorium seats. For such color music, a tape with red signal illumination is glued to the glass screen along the inner plane.

A basketball panel is hung at a height of 3.05 meters from the surface of the court, no matter what it is called, for example: multi, to the top point bent into a ring of steel wire rod with a cross-section of 20 mm and an internal diameter of 45 cm. Very firmly welded to a triangular platform containing There is a spring lock in the volume for shock absorption. The rim has an intermittent tubular hoop at the bottom; a cable is threaded into it for the interval fixation of a rope mesh basket without a bottom, 40 cm deep. If everything is assembled correctly, then the bottom edge of the basketball backboard will be at a height of 2.90 meters, possibly from a wooden flooring or finishing game surface of the site.

The finished basketball backboard is mounted and held with bolts through holes in the glass, pressing the ring and frame to the extension extending 1.2 meters from the front line.

For safety reasons, soft protective bumpers with the logo of the manufacturer or event organizer, such as the Russian Basketball Federation, are put on the basketball backboard on its lower and side ends and stem.

In addition, directly under the auspices of the FIBA commission, a committee has been created to implement the following topics: - “Children’s basketball in every school.” Developing specific recommendations for a basketball backboard and the dimensions of a mini basketball court.

As a rule, a children's basketball backboard is made of polycarbonate, regardless of where it will be installed in the hall or on the street. Tight, monolithic polycarbonate; countersunk screws allow it to be held on the frame. The basketball backboard provides only a vertical layout with a height of 1.2 m and a width of 0.9 meters with an exact assembled size of 2.3 meters from the cover to the frame. A steel ring is placed from the bottom of the shield at a distance of 30 cm, it is from this point that a marking rectangle measuring 59x45 cm passes from white lines, which is the common border of the main marking rectangle. Since the children's markings on the court are smaller than those for adults, the shield extends only 60 cm into the field.

Types and types of basketball backboards:

Always, including the past and present days, anchor portable basketball backboards are displayed in the stadium arena, placed on arrow-shaped posts outside the basketball court.

In gyms, the basketball backboard is mounted to the wall on brackets: with a constant, uniform offset step; with telescopic manual amplitude; with a hydraulic lift - smoothly adjusting the extension length. And the anchoring of the shield to the ceilings on a hanging rigid frame cable console does not go unnoticed.

Common basketball and stationary backboards made by the USSR company are made on a metal frame with powder coating and 10 mm monolithic polycarbonate at a price of 70,000 rubles with installation for a complete set.

To some extent, mass street billboards made of plexiglass, fiberglass with fixed and mobile installation systems have their consumers.

Sometimes you come across a homemade collective farm backboard for playing basketball, cobbled together from a piece of rotten plywood with a holey rusty bucket without a bottom, nailed two hundred to a crooked birch tree with your own hands. There is something to remember. Smile!!!

The purchased backboard from the USSR company for outdoor basketball courts will give you a great mood from playing basketball.

Turnkey installation of basketball backboards for basketball.

Basketball equipment.

Any basketball court must be equipped with two backboards, which are installed on racks at its ends. Rings used by teams to earn points are also attached directly to them. Important role Not only the size of the basketball backboard plays a role, but also the materials from which it is made. As a rule, their role is played by an unbreakable shield. The degree of hardness of the shield should be the same as that of an analogue made of hard wood three centimeters thick. It can be used to create shields and other materials, the main thing is that they are painted white and meet official requirements.

Standard sizes basketball backboard in width and height should be equal to 1.8 and 1.05 m, respectively. In the first case, a deviation from the accepted parameters of 3 cm is allowed, and in the second - by 2 cm. The lower backboard line, according to the official rules, is located above platform at a height of 2.9 m.

The design and dimensions of the basketball backboard also imply the application of markings. In particular, at its edges there is a rectangle 59 cm wide and 45 cm high. In addition, an important requirement is that the base of the shield must be located on the same level as the upper plane of the ring. Absolutely all applied lines are made in the form of stripes 5 cm thick. If the shield is transparent, then the stripes are drawn with white paint, in all other cases - black.

The installation of the panels is carried out parallel to the end lines and perpendicular to the site. Due to the fact that the dimensions of a basketball backboard are considerable, certain requirements are also imposed on the structure on which they are installed. In particular, it must be upholstered with soft material (minimum thickness 5 cm) and located at a distance of at least two meters from the end playing field. It is important that the racks are clearly visible to competing basketball players, so they are painted in a color that contrasts with the walls of the gym. Among other things, these structures are securely fixed so as not to sag even under the influence of the weight of the players. If the structure shifts, it should return to its original position in no more than four seconds. Compliance with these requirements increases the safety of the competition.

The official rules of the game apply not only to the size of the basketball backboard, but also to its upholstery. In particular, sides covered with a soft material 5 cm thick from the bottom corners to a height of at least 35 cm. It should be noted that the so-called indentation coefficient for structures and panels is usually 50 percent. This is done in order to protect the basketball players of both teams from possible injuries and damage.

In addition to such indicators as the dimensions of the basketball backboard, we also note the parameters of the ring that is attached to it. Its diameter is 45 cm (maximum permissible value is 45.7 cm). The thickness of the metal used to make the ring is from 16 to 20 mm. At the bottom there are hooks that are used to attach the mesh. They should not have sharp edges or crevices - this helps protect the players’ fingers.

Basketball backboards and hoops.

Buy basketball mobile backboards and hoops The Schelde analogue is not a problem.

In the winter of 1891, YMCA college students from Springfield, Massachusetts, were simply bored in class. physical education, forced to perform endless gymnastic exercises, which at that time were considered almost the only means of introducing young people to sports.

A modest college teacher named James Naismith found a way out of the seemingly impasse. On December 1, 1891, he tied two baskets of peaches to the railing of the balcony of the gymnasium and, dividing eighteen students into two teams, offered them a game, the meaning of which was to throw more balls into the opponents' basket.

The idea for this game originated in his school years, when children played the old game “duck-on-a-rock”. The meaning of this game, popular at that time, was as follows: by tossing a small stone, it was necessary to hit the top of another, larger stone with it.

Quite pragmatically named “basketball” (English basket - basket, ball - ball), the game, of course, only vaguely resembled the enchanting spectacle that we know under this name today. WITH modern point From a visual perspective, the teams’ actions would seem sluggish and inhibited to us, but Dr. Naismith’s goal was to create a collective game, in which it would be possible to involve simultaneously large number participating, and his invention fully answered this task.

One of the main advantages of playing basketball is accessibility. All that is required is a ball, a stand with a ring and a flat area. Basketball stand can be installed anywhere, for example, in your yard or in your country house. But in order for it to last longer, when choosing, you need to pay attention to several important parameters:

Rack type. Depending on the installation method, they are divided into stationary and mobile. Mostly professional sites are equipped with stationary stands. This is a fairly massive steel L-shaped structure, which will be concreted into the ground outside the site at a safe distance, and the shield will hang above the site and protrude 1.2m beyond the marking line. For amateur games, mobile or folding stands are the best option - they are easy to assemble and move. This stand is distinguished by its compact design, low weight, speed and convenience when preparing the court for the game.

Manufacturer. You should not chase the cheapness of Chinese equipment; its quality in most cases leaves much to be desired. The optimal balance of quality and price can be considered such world-famous brands as AND1 or DFC. This best option for your home or cottage! And when used in school gyms, you can be sure of the safety and stability of these racks. As for the professional segment, the cost of equipment from brands such as SCHELDE SPORTS, although justified, is quite high. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at domestic manufacturers offering more affordable similar professional basketball stands .

Material. The safety of the players depends on how strong the structure is. Most often, stationary racks are made of steel, and basketball backboards- made of tempered glass, plastic, acrylic, aluminum and plywood. Mass racks, as a rule, are made partially collapsible and lightweight. But in professional stands, the strength and reliability of the design is valued; the massiveness and lack of vibration of the shield when the ball hits come first. If the equipment will be used outdoors, the metal parts must be painted or protected with an anti-corrosion coating.

Height adjustable. This function will be useful if not only adults, but also children will play. Although you need to understand that there are regulations for competitions and training, according to which the height of the ring from the surface of the playing field is the same and is 3.05 m.

Company ATHLET-SPORT offers a wide range of basketball equipment, both for professional and mass use: shields,

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’s passion is growing various types sports, and simply physical activity. This applies to both adults and children, teenagers and young people.

Team sports are especially popular among both amateur athletes and fans. And although football in our country has always been beyond competition, other ball games also have many ardent adherents. And one of them is basketball.

What do we know about basketball?

Anyone knows what basketball is called sports game with the ball involving two teams of five people each, the goal of which is to throw as many balls as possible into the opponent’s hoop and fight against similar actions on his part.

But how many people have thought 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 of a basketball hoop and backboard?

Meanwhile, this information is quite interesting. For example, knowing the dimensions of a basketball backboard, you will be able to install a homemade playground in your own yard and organize amateur competitions.

Basic rules

For the organizers of the yard basketball team You should know 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.

The rules of the game provide for two points for throwing a basketball into the basket from a short distance and three points for throwing a basketball 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 shield itself. It is made 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. Height - 105 cm with a deviation, respectively, within 2 centimeters. Its side ribs, like the bottom, are equipped with shock-absorbing padding to prevent accidents.

The FIBA protocol regulates the equipment of basketball backboards with red lighting, which is applied with inside along 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 mounted is 305 centimeters.

Other sizes

But not only the size of the basketball backboard is important. Other figures regarding equipment for this sport are:

The backboards can extend beyond the playing area by 1.2 meters from the end line.
The internal diameter of any basketball hoop should be 45 centimeters, and its thickness should be 2 cm. The rope net located underneath is arranged in the form of a bottomless basket, the length of which is 40 cm.
A hoop zone is marked on the basketball backboard, the area of which in the form of a rectangle measuring 59 x 45 cm is outlined by a white stripe five centimeters wide.

Used for basketball game shields and stands, equipped with rings and baskets, can be of two types and, accordingly, sizes - for adults and for children. Equipment dimensions for adults are contained in the official FIBA rules. Mini-basketball equipment, which has a different size basketball hoop and backboard, corresponds to children's parameters.

As a rule, if the game is played in gym, the shields are mounted to the wall or ceiling, lowered on special devices. Nowadays, mobile basketball stands and backboards that can be moved are widely used in gyms. On the street, both stationary and homemade shields are also possible, which are made of plexiglass or metal with polycarbonate.

Basketball backboard size for children

Let's move on to children's basketball. What are the dimensions of the basketball backboard in this case? Its drawing looks like a rectangle, 120 cm high and 90 cm wide. The material used is polycarbonate. Such a mini-board should protrude above the basketball court 60 cm 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 themselves differ from the standard one, its markings and the size of the ball basket are similar to the adult version.

Choosing the right outdoor basketball court equipment and installing it securely is very important task for players. Compliance with all accepted standards will ensure strict adherence to the rules, indisputability of victory and pleasure from the real game.

How to equip a basketball court in the yard

Although in our country this game is not as popular as, say, in the USA, the ranks of its fans are constantly growing. This great option spending time on fresh air 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 is needed 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 completely simple.

So, we should get a sheet of chipboard or plywood, a metal tube or rod, a mesh and a metal corner. If a single sheet of plywood or chipboard could not be found, the shield can be knocked down from individual planks.

What dimensions can a homemade shield have?

For yard basketball, it is not necessary to follow standard parameters. It is not so important what size basketball backboard you 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, can be easily bent from a tube or rod. It is attached to a metal corner with bolts or welding. The dimensions of the fasteners themselves are not so important; only a 15-centimeter distance between the ring and the shield should be maintained.

The net on the ring is necessary in order to track the ball hits. If you don’t have one, you can take a mesh string bag without a bottom. A self-made shield is mounted on any pole, both wooden and metal. If you don’t have them in your yard, and for some reason it’s not possible to bring them and dig them in 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 level of fastening may not be so strictly observed. It is only important to maintain the required height of the bottom edge. But the standard distance of 275 cm can be reduced if small children are expected to participate. After all, it is much more difficult for them to throw the ball to a greater height, and the interest from a useful and gambling game will quickly be lost.

Play for your health!

As you can see, equip your child and his friends with a homemade basketball court without leaving your home yard, it’s not at all difficult. To do this, it is enough for two or three participants to unite (as a rule, the fathers of future players), “organize” simple materials at hand and spend an evening or two installing the equipment.

Meanwhile, playing basketball can not only give a lot of joy to young participants, but also greatly improve their health, which is especially important in our time of inactivity. And parents can easily take an example from young players, and the wonderful habit of healthy image life will take root in families and become a good tradition.

Besides, who knows, maybe the current amateur debutants will turn out to be real stars of domestic and world basketball in the future!
