A key basketball court dimension for installation purposes is the distance from the baseline to the face of the backboard. In a setting where sanction play will occur the dimension from the baseline to the face of the backboard will be 4'. Obviously if your goal is to insert a pole type basketball system in a residential setting this option could significantly lessen the playing area of the court. As mentioned above 4' is the rule for sanctioned play gymnasium equipment but in a residential setting the closer you can get to this dimension without significantly diminishing the playing layout is preferred. The basketball hoop height shall be 10' from the playing surface to the top of the goal. |
