Basketball is a very popular sport, and an outdoor basketball court is a favorite venue for many people. Safety is the basis for the planning and design of outdoor plastic basketball courts and plastic tracks.
The planning and design of the outdoor plastic basketball court must not only meet national standards but also consider the safety of the facility itself, the safety of the paving materials for the facility, and the safety of the layout of the facility. This article will introduce you to some knowledge and characteristics of outdoor basketball courts.
Outdoor basketball court dimensions
The basketball playing field is a rectangular solid plane with a length of 28 meters and a width of 15 meters without obstacles. This size is not only the standard for international competition venues but also the venue size for many large-scale basketball games at home and abroad.
In addition, on campus, the school usually adjusts the size of the basketball court to 25 meters long and 12 meters wide to accommodate the constraints of the venue and the needs of the students. Basketball courts include concrete, cement, asphalt, and wood. Nowadays, the plastic floor of the basketball court is used more.
Materials for outdoor basketball courts
Concrete floors are durable and have a long service life, but are vulnerable to snow and ice in winter and require regular maintenance. The asphalt ground is softer, and the players are more comfortable on the court, but it is vulnerable to sunlight erosion and requires regular maintenance and paint renewal.
Whether the basketball court is indoors or outdoors, it can provide people with a clear space for sports, and the meaning of its existence is to help sports. Considering the actual situation, the materials used in outdoor and indoor venues will be different.
The influence of the weather must be considered in the outdoor materials, so wooden floors cannot be chosen, while indoor basketball court floors have been slowly replaced with wooden floors in recent years.
Standard equipment for outdoor basketball courts
To make basketball games more fair and just, outdoor basketball courts need to be equipped with standard game equipment.
This equipment includes basketball hoops, basketball backboards, basketball nets, scoreboards, referee chairs, etc. Basketball hoops are generally made of steel, while basketball backboards are made of elastic materials.
Basketball nets are generally composed of steel metal rings and nylon mesh, which have high durability and strength. Scoreboards are designed to allow players and spectators to clearly understand the score of the game and are generally placed at both ends of the venue. The referee chair is for the convenience of referees to observe the game, to better control the game.
Outdoor basketball courts provide a great space for basketball enthusiasts to enjoy the game. Planning and designing an outdoor basketball court that meets national standards and provides a safe environment for players is crucial.
By choosing the right materials and standard equipment, an outdoor basketball court can offer a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all players and spectators.
