A basketball court is a rectangular playing surface specifically designed for the game of basketball. It typically measures 94 feet long and 50 feet wide in professional settings, with markings for the three-point line, free-throw line, and key area. The court is divided into two main sections, one for each team, and features a hoop at each end. The surface of a basketball court is usually made of wood or synthetic materials, providing good traction for players. Each hoop is positioned 10 feet above the ground, and the court is surrounded by out-of-bounds areas. Proper lighting and spectator seating are also common features in indoor courts.
