2 SPORTGROUNDS SURFACES FOR INDOOR SPORTS The SportGrounds range offers a variety of surfaces for indoor sports facilities characterised by: a) heterogeneous, multilayer, non-delaminable structure that satisfies high shock-absorption standards; b) energy restitution and playability; c) high-density surface that guarantees resistance and longterm durability; d) fibreglass reinforcement that allows optimal dimensional stability; e) Excellent athletic performance under maximum safety conditions; f) sanalim antibacterial treatment ensures considerable and permanent hygienic conditions; g) quick and simple maintenance. The installation of SportGrounds products is carried out on level, uniform, and dry sub-bases. The rolls must be placed in their final position at least 24 hours before the installation and the perfection of the seams between the sheets must be controlled. The environmental temperature must not be below 15 C. The installation method may differ according to the product: 1) Glued installation: glue is selected according to the nature and conditions of the sub-base. In the presence of absorbent sub-bases, an acrylic glue may be used, while for installations on non-absorbent sub-bases, a bicomponent polyurethane glue must be used. The seams must be hot-welded with PVC rod or cold-welded with specific chemical bonding agents; 2) Loose laid installation: the flooring is simply laid onto the subbase with a single hot-welding of the seams with PVC rod or a cold chemical bonding agent. It is necessary to fix with glue the entire perimeter of the gym. The tracing of playing lines must be done with a bicomponent polyurethane paint made specifically for surfaces in PVC. Required maintenance is simple and quick: washing the surface with a small quantity of water with some neutral detergent should suffice. The operation may be carried out manually or with a single-brush machine. The quality of SportGrounds products is recognised by leading international federations. 104

11 THE BASKETBALL COURT: DIMENSIONS The Italian Basketball Federation establishes specific regulations in terms of dimensions for the construction of regulation courts. The court must be 29 metres long and 15 metres wide, measured from the inside edge of the boundary line. The distance between the end line, 5 cm wide, and the spectators must be at least 2 metres. The centre circle has a radius of 1.80 m and must be traced in the centre of the court. A central line must be traced parallel to the end line in such a way as to connect the central points of the side lines. This line will be extended outside the court by 15 cm on each side. The 3-point field goal areas are marked on the court by lines that form two semicircles with a radius of 6.25 metres, including the outside boundary, and having the centre point of the ground directly perpendicular to the exact centre of the basket. The semicircles are extended with parallel lines along the side lines until they reach the corresponding end lines. The centre of the semicircles must be located at a distance of 1,575 metres from the end line, this measurement having been taken from the inside edge of this line. The 3-second zone is marked on the court by the end line, by the free throw line, and by the two straight lines that begin at the end line by two points 3 metres from the centre point for the end line itself and that intersect the free throw line in two points that are both 1.8 metres from the centre point of the free throw line. The free throw line includes the 3-second zone and a arc with its centre in the centre point of free throw line and a radius of 1.8 metres. 113

12 THE VOLLEYBALL COURT : DIMENSIONS The Italian Volleyball Federation establishes specific regulations in terms of dimensions for the construction of regulation courts. The court measures 18 metres by 9 metres and is surrounded by a free zone which is a minimum of 3 m wide on all sides. If the free zone is not already naturally marked, it must be marked with barriers or advertising panels or billboards. For official international competitions like the Olympics and the World Championships, the free zone will be 5 metres beyond the side lines and 8 metres beyond the end lines. The free zone must not present obstacles that are not playing equipment. The perimeter lines must be a colour that contrasts with the playing field and 5 cm wide, including the court dimensions. If there are other lines on the court they must be of a colour that contrasts clearly with the background colour. For official international competitions it is necessary that the lines be white and that the playing field and the free zone be of different colours. The boundary lines are: 18 metres long for side lines and 9 metres long for end lines. A centre line separates the court into two equal field that measure 9 metres and ends in correspondence to the side lines. The attack lines are parallel and traced 3 metres from the centre line. The attack lines are extended beyond the side lines with 5 equal lines. The auxiliary lines mark the playing field and are 15 cm long and traced at a distance of 20 cm from the end lines of the court, perpendicular to the end lines and on the extension of the side lines. The playing field is bounded by the auxiliary lines. 114

13 THE HANDBALL COURT : DIMENSIONS The Italian Handball Federation establishes specific regulations in terms of dimensions for the construction of regulation courts. According to the regulations established by the International Federation, handball matches may be played only in a covered facility and in a court that measures 40 metres by 20 metres. An out zone that measures at least 1 metre along the side lines and 2 metres along the end lines is also required. In this way handball is the sport that requires the largest covered playing surface. THE BADMINTON COURT : DIMENSIONS The Italian Badminton Federation establishes specific regulations in terms of dimensions for the construction of regulation courts. The court is rectangle with the measurements indicated in the diagram (for a usable version for singles and doubles) and bounded by 4- cm wide lines that are preferably either white or yellow. All the lines are part of the playing surface. The flooring may be in synthetic material provided that it is not slippery and has a dull finish so as to prevent glare that may interfere with the players vision. 115
