1. Design and Planning

• Court dimensions are selected (standard for FIBA is 28 m x 15 m).
• The purpose of use is determined (professional play, practice area, outdoor or indoor court).
• Ground type is determined (concrete, asphalt, acrylic coating, or wooden floor).

2. Site Preparation

• Earth work (clearing hills, removing top layer).
• Water drainage system is constructed (especially for outdoor courts).
• Ground is leveled and compacted.

3. Foundation and Ground Work

• Concrete or asphalt base is prepared:
  • Concrete layer thickness: 10-15 cm.
  • Proper slope is provided (0.5% slope for water drainage).
• Surface is polished and finished for smoothness.

4. Coating Application

Options:

• Acrylic system: For professional outdoor courts — UV resistant.
• PU/PVC coating: Elastic flooring for sports halls.
• Wooden floor: For closed, high-level sports facilities.

Steps in acrylic system:

• Primer application (for adhesion between concrete and coating).
• Elastic base layer (protection against cracks).
• 2-3 coats of acrylic coating.
• Coloring (usually blue or green background + white lines).

5. Court Sports Equipment

• Basketball poles and baskets: At a height of 3.05 m according to FIBA standards.
• Court lines: White or yellow paint — boundary lines, three-point line, free throw area, etc.

6. Lighting and Additional Infrastructure

• LED projectors are installed for night games on outdoor courts.
• Seating areas, protective barriers (optional).
