How long is a standard basketball court?
Basketball court
Basketball courts come in different sizes. In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the court is 94 by 50 feet (28.7 by 15.2m). Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules,[1] the court is slightly smaller, measuring exactly 28 by 15 meters (91.9 by 49.2ft). In amateur basketball, court sizes vary widely. The baskets are always 10 feet (3.05m) above the floor (except possibly in youth competition). Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc is worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player's foot touching the line, is worth 2 points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within the three-point arc at 15 feet from the basket. A foul shot is worth 1 point, but if a shot is made from the foul line while in play it is still worth 2 points.[2]
Wheelchair Football (American)
The game of wheelchair football is played on a standard basketball court — long by wide. The required court markings are a center line and circle, and a key area measuring wide by deep at each end of the court. It can be played either indoors or outside, as long as it meets the standard requirements. All athletes must use either a manual or a power wheelchair when competing in the sport.
