- For Division 1 Men, The 3 Point line has been moved back to 22 feet 1 3/4 inches. This is the same length as the International Basketball court standard. The 3 pt line was last moved in 2019 for Div 1 men and was adopted the NCAA women in 2 years later.  High school remains at the shorter 19 ft 9inches and  the NBA is at 23 ft 9 inches at the center and 22 ft 3 inches in the corners.  Click Here to zoom or print above image

Our design requires just a couple of reference points so one can use normal household tools to start the design. Measurements are only there to check the alignment. Large corner pieces make it easy to start and stay square. All key markings are integrated reducing paint time and the number of stencils. We maximized the length of our stencil pieces to reduce the time and complexity of the stencil layout. Once laid out it is easy to see what the court will look like and to check alignment. Have reference marks to make it easy to check alignment. Detailed instructions...

A basketball court requires long straight and square lines. Making sure that the key is square requires tools and techniques not in every home. either geometry or and laser square which not everybody can do. It is really easy to make a mistake and small errors are very noticeable. For example using a string and chalk to make a circle works great. We all did that as kids But with a 20 ft piece of string, we found that that string stretch makes it difficult to use this technique on a basketball court. Unlike a tennis court, the basketball court...

Our 1/16th in thick LLDPE is the perfect material for outdoor stencils and is used by professional line stripers. Why? Heavy enough to not be affected by the wind or spray equipment. It is also flexible and will lay perfectly flat. It is durable and will not stretch, tear, or rip. It can last for many uses.

Paint the key: The key is the Key to getting a good result. Once it is laid out and square paint it and align the 3 point line to it. Painting lines: Spray painting is recommended. Our 1/16th inch plastic is tough to paint with a roller, possible but slow. See below for rolling our 1/16th inch stencil material. Spray Painting Tips: We like to choose bright colors and we prefer traffic road marking spray paint. For spray painting use the can as instructed. The key issue with spraying is to use multiple light coats and keep the can at...

Hand Marking and Painting Lines: Pros: No expensive tools required.Cons: Hand measuring takes a long time, requires geometry to get lines square. Masking is slow and is particularly difficult for curved lines. Using a String and chalk to set the 3 Point line is problematic with string stretch. Using a mechanical double tape layer: Pros: Tape makes it very easy to spray a perfect line.Cons: Tape Machine itself is very expensive. Measuring and marking by hand still takes a lot of time. You still have to tape by hand the key blocks. Curves are hard to tape without incremental expensive...
