Full court vs half court vs FIBA 3x3

A full FIBA court (28m by 15m) suits large campuses with dedicated sports zones. Most corporate installations use a half-court layout (14m by 15m), which supports shooting drills and 2-on-2 games at roughly 50 to 60% of full-court cost. A FIBA 3x3 court needs only 15m by 11m, roughly two standard parking bays, and is the most space-efficient option for compact campuses.

Cost by flooring type

  • Outdoor acrylic surface, the most economical of the three. Installed in 7 to 10 days, low maintenance, ideal for campuses with outdoor space.
  • Indoor sports vinyl, the mid-range option. Shock-absorbing, suitable for climate-controlled indoor facilities.
  • Maple hardwood, the premium option with certified shock absorption and the highest ball-rebound consistency, typically reserved for flagship campus sports facilities.

Lighting and hardware costs

Lighting is a separate line: LED high-bay fittings rated at a minimum of 500 lux with 0.6 uniformity for recreational play. Backboards, hoops and pole systems are another, and the cost depends on whether they are fixed wall-mounted or ceiling-hung units or freestanding.

Annual maintenance

A basketball court AMC is priced on the court and the tier you choose, and covers surface cleaning, backboard and rim checks, line marking touch-ups and lighting maintenance. Outdoor acrylic surfaces need more frequent UV-protective resealing (every 18 to 24 months) than indoor installations.
