BADRY LIGHTING GUIDE OF MULTIPLE COURTS

2.4. Recreational Multiple Basketball Court Layout:

The following diagram represents a recreational multiple court layout and dimensions.
 The runoff area around the outside perimeter of the court to be not less than 3.05m.
 Shelters, lighting or any other objects that could create a trip hazard are not to
encroach within this area.
 The shared runoff area between the sidelines of adjoining courts is shown as a
minimum of 4.00m Shelters.
 lighting or any other objects that could create a trip hazard are not to encroach
within this area.
 Where a shelter or structure is to be positioned between the two courts then the
space between the courts will need to be a minimum of 6.10m (i.e. 3.05m on either
side of the structure) plus an additional (variable width) area to accommodate the
actual structure itself and or future-proofing for covered courts.
 Where adjoining courts require light poles, benches or similar to be placed in the
area between sidelines, then a minimum runoff area of 3.05m must be provided for
between the physical objects and the sideline of each of the courts.
 For courts laid end-to-end it is strongly recommended that a fence be installed
between the courts to prevent balls moving between courts and creating a safety
issue. This fencing must be outside of the runoff area, which is a minimum of 3.05m
from the sideline.
 The objective of all layouts shown is to provide for the safety of the players,
umpires and spectators.
 In an ideal scenario an ingress and egress area of at least 2.00m in width should be
provided between the runoff areas of adjoining courts to allow for pedestrian
movement between courts. However, BADRY recognize that this may not be
possible for all scenarios and will consider the proposed dimensions between
courts on a case by case basis.
 When planning for a court layout of more than 8 courts, consideration should be
given to how the ingress and egress areas provide for the movement of spectators
to their intended destination Layouts should be designed to eliminate the
concentration of pedestrian traffic along a singular route.
