Basketball is one of the most popular and exciting sports in the world, combining speed, skill and tactical intelligence into one spectacular game. Since its invention by Dr James Naismith in 1891, basketball has evolved into a global sport followed by billions of fans around the world, from the NBA to the Olympics and local tournaments on every continent.
In the world of modern basketball, the court is more than just a space to play – it is the stage on which stories of sporting success and achievement are written. The ideal basketball court should provide optimal conditions for players to showcase their skills and abilities, while ensuring safety, comfort and performance. This is what Technotrade Sports understands, and we put our vast experience at the service of creating basketball courts that meet the highest international standards and fulfil the ambitions of players and sports organisations.
Creating a professional basketball court requires a deep understanding of the nature of the game and its technical requirements, from the exact dimensions specified by the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) to the selection of the most advanced materials and technologies in the world of sports flooring. Every detail of the court, from floor type to ceiling height, from lighting quality to ventilation systems, directly affects the quality of play and player safety.
The needs of our basketball court construction clients are as diverse as the industries and organisations we serve. Each client has specific requirements and goals, and at Technotrade Sports we pride ourselves on being able to meet this wide variety of needs with customised and innovative solutions.

This advanced technology provides an ideal surface for basketball thanks to its unique shock-absorbing properties and responsiveness required for athletic movements.
The tartan system (PU MIX 5) is up to two centimetres thick, providing an exceptional layer of protection for players and reducing the impact of shocks on the body. This extra thickness translates into greater comfort for players, especially during long training sessions and intense matches.
Technically speaking, PU MIX Tartan (polyurethane) flooring provides optimal ball bounce response, ensuring consistent performance throughout the court. This consistency of response is critical in basketball, where players rely on their ability to predict the behaviour of the ball in different areas of the court.
Tartan (polyurethane) flooring is also characterised by its high PU MIX urethane resistance to abrasion and weathering, making it suitable for use on outdoor pitches exposed to direct sunlight and weather fluctuations. It is also anti-slip, providing the necessary safety for players even in wet conditions.
Parquet flooring remains the classic and preferred choice for many professional basketball courts in indoor arenas. This type of flooring offers the traditional and authentic feel of basketball, with outstanding performance characteristics that make it the gold standard in many international tournaments.
At Technotrade Sports, we use specialised types of parquet that are specially treated for sports use, with advanced installation systems that ensure the required flexibility and shock absorption. The treated substrate plays a crucial role in providing support and stability to the wooden surface, ensuring consistent performance and long-term durability.
Parquet flooring has the ability to provide a natural and comfortable response for players, optimising performance and reducing fatigue. The aesthetically pleasing appearance of parquet flooring adds a classic and elegant feel to the pitch, enhancing the playing and viewing experience.
In terms of maintenance, wooden floors require special and regular care to maintain their quality and performance. At Technotrade Sports, we offer comprehensive maintenance programmes that ensure your wood flooring stays in top condition for years to come.
Specialised vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for playgrounds that require flexibility of use and high abrasion resistance. This type of flooring combines several advantages that make it suitable for educational institutions and multi-purpose sports centres.
The advanced vinyl system provides excellent bounce and spin stability, ensuring a consistent and comfortable playing experience. The specialised foam underlay plays a crucial role in shock absorption and comfort for players, especially during intensive and prolonged use.
Vinyl flooring is characterised by its high slip resistance, providing the necessary safety for players in all conditions. It is available in a wide range of colours and designs, allowing unlimited creative possibilities in the design of the pitch and the layout of the lines and different areas.
The Acrylic Rubber Roll System is an innovative solution that combines the benefits of natural rubber with advanced acrylic technologies. The system is suitable for both outdoor and indoor courts, offering great flexibility in application and utilisation.
The high flexibility and exceptional shock-absorbing capacity of the system has a positive impact on athletes’ safety and comfort during play. These characteristics make the system particularly suitable for sports that require a lot of movement and frequent jumps.
The long life of an acrylic rubber roller system makes it an excellent economic investment, as it can serve for decades without the need for major repairs or replacement. This factor is particularly important for projects that require a long-term return on investment.
The ability to paint the surface in attractive acrylic colours of choice allows the pitch to be customised to suit the visual identity of the project. This customisation can include corporate colours and logos, reinforcing brand identity and creating a distinctive sporting environment.
Adherence to international standards and technical specifications is an indispensable basis for building professional basketball courts. At Technotrade Sports, we apply the highest standards approved by FIBA and other international sports organisations, ensuring that our courts meet the requirements of official competitions and provide the ideal playing environment.
The dimensions of a FIBA basketball court are meticulously defined, with 28 metres being the length of the court. These dimensions are not just random numbers, but the result of extensive studies to ensure the perfect balance between the space available for play and the pace required in modern basketball.
The free throw line is one metre from the finish line, while the 5.80m 6.75m 3-point line is one metre from the centre of the basket in international competitions. These distances are carefully calculated to provide the right challenge for players while maintaining a balance between attack and defence.
3.05 The standard basketball height is one metre from the court surface, a height that has been consistent around the world since the beginning of the game. This height requires skill and physical strength from the players, adding to the excitement and challenge of the game.
Lighting plays a crucial role in the quality of play and player safety. International standards specify a minimum Lux 500 level of illumination required for official competitions, with a uniform distribution of light throughout the pitch to avoid shadows and glare.
At Technotrade Sports Advanced LED, we use lighting systems that provide high-quality illumination with energy efficiency. These systems ensure optimal visibility for players, referees and spectators, while minimising visual fatigue and annoying glare.
Safety standards for basketball courts cover several important aspects, starting with the safety zone around the court, which must be at least two metres on all sides. This zone is necessary to protect players from hitting walls or other obstacles.
International standards require that all equipment and fixtures, from the goals to the scoreboard, are designed and installed in such a way as to ensure the complete safety of players and officials. We use internationally recognised equipment and install it to the highest safety standards.
Creating an outstanding basketball court requires a perfect integration of architectural and engineering design, as the design must combine functionality and aesthetics while taking into account all technical and sporting requirements. At Technotrade Sports, we work with a team of the best architects and civil engineers who specialise in sports facilities to ensure that every project achieves the highest levels of excellence.
Successful basketball court design begins with a deep understanding of the movement and flow patterns within the facility. The design must be able to accommodate the movement of players, coaches, referees and spectators in a smooth and safe manner, with clear and separate pathways for each category.
Spatial planning considerations include locating locker rooms, warm-up areas, equipment rooms, first aid areas, and management offices. All of these spaces should be positioned in a way that supports the efficient operation of the facility and provides comfort and safety for all users.
Acoustic considerations play an important role in the design of basketball courts, especially in covered arenas where echoes and noise can affect the playing and viewing experience. We use advanced acoustic materials and technologies to tune the acoustics, ensure sound clarity and minimise unwanted noise.
Visually, the design must provide an optimal view of the audience from all seats, while avoiding visual obstructions and annoying reflections. This requires careful calculations of viewing angles, stand heights and lighting distribution.
Ventilation and climate control systems are crucial elements in the design of indoor basketball courts. These systems must ensure optimal air quality and comfortable temperatures for players and spectators, taking into account the heat loads generated by lighting and human activities.
We design advanced ventilation systems that ensure uniform distribution of conditioned air without creating strong air currents that may affect the trajectory of the ball. We also consider energy efficiency in the design of these systems to minimise operational costs in the long run.
In the age of digital technology, basketball stadiums are constantly evolving to incorporate smart technologies and innovative solutions that enhance the playing and viewing experience. Technotrade Sports is leading this evolution by offering cutting-edge technology solutions that combine sports performance with technological innovation.
New technologies include advanced surveillance systems that use high-definition cameras and sensors to accurately track the movement of players and the ball. These systems provide valuable data for coaches and players to analyse performance and develop strategies.
We also provide interactive display systems that allow for real-time statistics and analyses, enhancing the viewing experience and providing valuable information for fans and sports media.
Smart lighting systems enable precise control and distribution of light levels depending on the type of activity and time of day. These systems can automatically adapt to different conditions, from daily workouts to official matches, providing optimal conditions for each activity.
