    Facilities and Equipment

    Basketball Training Equipment

    - The Ball

     There are certain guidelines which one needs to follow when buying a basketball. For
    practicing, one can play with a rubber ball. For professional competitions, one needs to
    use an inflated ball made of leather.
     Official size of a basketball is 29.5 to 30 inches in circumference for men's game and
    28.5 inches in circumference for women's game. It should weigh 18 to 22 ounces. When
    bounced off 6 feet from the floor, a well inflated ball should bounce 49 to 54 inches in
    height.

    - The Shoes

     There are three distinct types of basketball shoes: high-tops, mid-tops and low-tops.
    Each type of shoe showcases distinct advantages. High-tops provide the best ankle
    support, but are the heaviest type of basketball shoe. This can decrease speed-burst ability
    needed for fast-break situations. Mid-top sneakers stop at ankle level, enabling players to
    leverage added movement, but this type of shoe provides less stability than high-tops.
    Low-tops provide the least amount of ankle support, but are the lightest type of sneaker.
    Low-top basketball shoes will allow players to best take advantage of speed and
    quickness.

    Basketball Shooting Equipment

    - Hoop / Basket / Rim

     The hoop or basket is a horizontal metallic rim, circular in shape. This rim is attached to
    a net and helps one score a point. The rim is mounted about 4 feet inside the baseline and
    10 feet above the court.

    - Basketball court

     The court is a flat, hard surface free from obstructions, 28m long and 15m wide,
    measured from the inner edge of the boundary line.

    - Backboard
     Basketball backboards are flat elevated vertical boards with mounted baskets, or
    rims, used to assist or return the basketball after a shot in a game of basketball.
    Commonly made of Plexiglas or tempered glass, backboards are designed to prevent
    shattering when a player dunks. Regulation basketball backboards have a width of 72”
    | 183 cm and a height of 42” | 110 cm with an inner rectangle that is 24” | 61 cm wide
    and 18” | 45.7 cm tall.

    Basketball Coaching Equipment
