The most important thing for training is the ball. There are certain guidelines which one
needs to follow when buying a basketball. The ball is round and the outer casing should be
either leather, rubber, or other synthetic materials. 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.
BASKET NET
• The Foul Line- for all size courts the 'foul line' is 15 feet in front of the backboard.
• The Key- the key is 12 feet wide, and is the same for all basketball courts. The backboard extends
4 feet out over the baseline into the key. A half circle of diameter 6 foot extends from the foul line
away from the basket to complete the key.
• The 3 Point Line (Arc)- for NBA Basketball Courts the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim
on the sides with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those
points the line extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim.
• Line Markings- all line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.
THE BACK BOARD
The backboard is the rectangular board that is placed behind the rim. It helps give better
rebound to the ball. The backboard is about 1800mm in size horizontally and 1050mm
vertically. Many times, backboards are made of acrylic, aluminum, steel or glass.
THE SHOT CLOCK
A large board for publicly displaying the score in a game or match. Most level of sport from
high school and above use atleast one scoreboard for keeping score, measuring time, and
displaying statistics. The offense is allowed a maximum of 24 seconds to have a ball in
hand before shooting. These 24 seconds are counted on the shot clock. If the offense fails
to shoot a ball that hits the rim, they will lose the possession of the ball to the other team.
WHISTLE
The coach or referee uses a whistle to indicate the start or end of a game. S/he can even
use the whistle to stop the play in the middle of a game. Whistle also helps to indicate
fouls, timeout, or out of bound balls to the players. In order to get the attention of the
players, many times coaches use the whistle to gather the players.
SHOES
One needs specialized shoes when playing basketball. It should be able to give better
support to the ankle as compared to running shoes. The basketball shoes should be high-
tipped shoes and provide extra comfort during a game. These shoes are specially designed
to maintain high traction on the basketball court.

When one starts coaching a basketball team, the most important requirement for a team
is to have a uniform. This helps one differentiate teams from one another. A uniform
consists of a jersey (shirt), shorts, numbers on the front and back of the shirts for
identification.
