How to draw a basketball court
- Draw the outline. Make a rectangle a little under twice as long as it is wide. A 94 by 50 foot court works out to about 15 by 8 inches on paper.
- Split it in half. Draw the half-court line across the middle and a circle in the center, about a quarter of the court's width across.
- Add the lanes. At each end, draw a rectangle from the baseline to the free throw line, about 19 feet deep and 12 feet wide on a high school court.
- Add the free throw circles. Center a circle on each free throw line with the same size as the center circle.
- Draw the 3-point lines. Put the basket about 5 feet in from the baseline. On a high school court, draw a half circle 19 feet 9 inches from the basket, then run a short straight line from each end of it to the baseline.
- Finish with the baskets. Add a short backboard line 4 feet from each baseline and a small circle in front of it for the rim.
