Basketball is played on a rectangular court. A professional basketball court is 28.7 meters long and 15.2 meters wide. High school and international courts may be slightly smaller.

Each end of the court has a basket. The basket is a metal ring with a net hanging from the rim. It is attached to a backboard, which is usually made of strong glass. The rim of the basket is 3 meters above the floor of the court. A basketball is round and full of air, which makes it bounce well.
