Basketball Court Seen From Above Coloring Page

This is a diagram as much as a picture, and that is exactly why it is useful. The court is laid out flat as though seen from the ceiling, a wide rectangle with the free throw arcs curving into it from both ends, a circle marked in the middle, and small boxes set along both side lines. Above the baseline the backboard and hoop are drawn face on with the net hanging beneath, so the sheet shows you both the floor plan and the basket in one image. The line work is thin and geometric throughout, with no shading and no texture anywhere, which makes it a good page for a ruler and a set of markers rather than crayons. Coaches and teachers get extra use out of it. Print a few copies and a child can draw player positions, passing lines and plays straight onto the floor, then color the key and the center circle in team shades when they are done.
