2. The ball is the most important item for
training. When purchasing a basketball, there
are a few rules that must be followed. One
can play with a rubber ball to practice. One
needs to utilize an inflated leather ball for
competitive events. Men's basketballs must
have a circumference of 29.5 to 30 inches,
while women's basketballs must have a
circumference of 28.5 inches. It should be 18
to 22 ounces in weight. A properly inflated
ball should bounce 49 to 54 inches high when
launched 6 feet off the
ground.

3. It ought to be level. Typically, the court
is built of hardwood floorboards. According
to international standards, the court
measures approximately 28 m by 17 m. The
floor's actual dimensions, according to the
National Basketball Association, are 29 m x
15 m. Over each end of the court, a steel
basket with a net and backboard is
suspended. The top of the rim is precisely
10 feet (3.05 meters) above the floor and 4
feet (1.2 meters) within the baseline at
practically all levels of competition.

Backboard
It consists of an elevated vertical board with a

frequently plexiglass, is used to make it. The NBA,
NCAA, and international basketball employ
rectangular hoops.

5. The netting must be made of a white cord
that is suspended from the rings and designed
to briefly stop the ball as it enters the basket.
They must be between 400 and 450 millimeters
in length. The net must be attached to the ring
with 12 loops. In order to avoid the net
rebounding up through the ring and potentially
entangling players, the upper piece of the net
must be semi-rigid. preventing the ball from
bouncing back out of the net or becoming stuck
in the net.

6. 5. Padding
is required for the backboard and its supporting framework. If
not specified differently, the padding must have a minimum
thickness of 50 mm. To a minimum height of 20 mm from the
bottom edge of the backboard, the lower edge of both the front
and back surfaces of the backboards must be padded. The
padding must have a minimum thickness of 20 mm. The vertical
borders of the backboard on each side must be padded to a
minimum height of 350 mm from the bottom edge. The padding
must have a minimum thickness of 20 mm. A minimum height of
2,150 mm from the floor up is required for padding on the vertical
sides of the backboard support structure. as thin as possible

7. Over a distance of 1,200 mm along the
arm, the bottom and side surfaces of the
backboard's supporting arm must be padded
from the back surface of the backboard. The
padding must have a minimum thickness of 25
mm. Advertising boards that stand alone must
have padding around the top. The cushioning
must be 20 mm thick at a minimum. Every piece
of padding must be made to prevent limbs from
becoming stuck. A maximum indentation factor
of 50% is required. This indicates that the
padding will only be dented by no more than
50% of its original thickness when a sudden
force is applied to it.

8. displays how much time is left in the game.
Giving the ball to a teammate and cutting to
the basket to receive an almost
instantaneous return pass for an open layup
or slam is known as a "give and go." The
NBA divides regulation play into 12 minute
quarters. Each half of a college game lasts
for 20 minutes. Go and give. The location of
the game clock must ensure that it is easily
seen by all players and spectators. A
computerized countdown clock will serve as
the primary game timekeeper. At the
conclusion of each period or overtime, an
automatic signal will ring. As soon as the
display displays zeros, the signal will activate

9. The game clocks shall be synchronized and
display the playing time remaining throughout the
game. At least during the last 60 seconds of each
period or extra period, the playing time remaining
shall be indicated to the one-tenth (1/10) of a
second. If the main game clock is placed above
the center of the playing court, there shall be a
synchronized duplicate game clock at each end of
the playing court high enough so that it can be
seen by everyone involved in the game including
the spectators. Each duplicate game clock shall
indicate both the score and the playing time
remaining. A whistle-controlled time system used
by the officials to stop the game clock may be used
provided that this system is used in all games of a

10. 7. The scoreboard
All players and spectators involved in the game
must be able to see it well. For FIBA events at
levels 1 and 2, there must be two (2) substantial
scoreboards—one at each end of the court—and, if
requested, a third scoreboard (cube) positioned
over the playing court's middle. The two
scoreboards mentioned above are still required
even if a scoreboard (cube) is positioned above the
middle of the playing court. The timekeeper must
have access to a control panel for the game clock,
and the assistant scorer must have access to a
separate control panel for the scoreboard. The
scoreboard's display must use bold, contrasting
colors. Antiglare must be used for the display's

11. The display numerals for the game clock
and score must be at least 300 mm in height
and 150 mm in width. The team fouls and
period display numbers must be at least 250
mm in height and 125 mm in width. There
must be no burrs or jagged edges on the
scoreboard. Any ball's extreme impact must
be able to endure the scoreboard. It is
necessary to firmly mount the scoreboard.
There must be a digital countdown game clock
on the scoreboard. As stated above, the game
clock must be displayed on the scoreboard.
the total points scored by each team and,
ideally, the sum of the total points scored by
each player.

device
shall be operated by a separate control unit
and have displays that meet the following
requirements: a digital countdown that displays
the time in seconds. the capability of beginning
after 24 seconds. the opportunity to stop while
the display counts down the remaining seconds.
the capacity to resume from the point at which it
was interrupted. the option to disable the
device's display. Be easily seen by all
participants in the game, including the
spectators. Minimum dimensions for the display
unit numerals are 125 mm in width and 250 mm
in height. The device must produce an
extremely loud automatic signal to announce

13. The 24-second device's electromagnetic
compatibility must meet the legal criteria of
the relevant country as soon as the display
reads zero (0), at which point the signal will
sound. For FIBA competitions levels 1 and
2, the display unit of the 24-second device,
along with an additional game clock and a
bright red electric light, shall be located both
above and behind each backboard at a
distance of between 300 mm and 500 mm.
The display units shall pass the test of
protection against damage by balls
according to DIN 18 032-3. The 24-second
timer's and the game clock's numbers must
be distinct colors.

14. The device can be suspended from the ceiling or
fixed to the backboard frame. To ensure visibility from
all sides, it is advised that each unit have three display
surfaces. The extended game clock must adhere to
every requirement listed in paragraphs 8.1 through 8.4
above. For all other tournaments (level 3), if there are
four display units, they must be positioned 2,000 mm
from each end line in each of the four corners of the
playing court. If there are only two (2) display units, they
must be positioned 2,000 mm from each end line at the
diagonal corners of the playing court. Additionally, when
seated at the scorer's table, the display on the left side
must be extended to 2,000 mm from the sideline.

15. The 24-second devices must be connected to the
primary game clock so that they will likewise stop when
the primary clock does. It must be possible to start the
device manually when the main clock starts. The main
clock must likewise stop when the 24-second gadget
does. Bright red must be the color of the electric light on
the display unit above the backboard. Be time to the
game clocks so that they turn on when the signal for the
end of each period or extra period of play sounds. Be
timed to the 24-second device so that it will illuminate
when the signal at the end of the 24-second period
sounds. The 24-second display units must pass the DIN
18 032-3 test for protection against ball damage.

16. 9. Clothing
Each team's players must wear
matching uniforms that do not contrast
with those of the other team, wear
numbered shirts, and no two players from
the same team may wear the same
number. For ease of movement, loose-
fitting shorts are advised, and sleeveless
vests are the norm. Although they are not
required, basketball shoes must have
rubber soles and protective ankle
supports. The most crucial thing to
remember is to wear comfortable
clothing. It's crucial to wear socks
covered in a towel.

17. 10. Spectator
areas
Spectator zones must permit
free public movement, especially
for those with disabilities, and
must provide viewers with a
pleasant view of the action.
Although there may be options
for different seating capacities,
there must never be any
obstructions to the view from any
seat.
