Kabaddi court marking is an essential aspect of the traditional Indian sport kabaddi. The court is rectangular in shape and measures 13 meters by 10 meters for men and 12 meters by 8 meters for women. It is divided into two halves by a center line, with each half belonging to one team.
The court features several important markings including the baulk line, which is drawn parallel to the center line at a distance of 3.75 meters on each side. Beyond the baulk line is the bonus line, located 1 meter from the baulk line toward the end line. The court also has boundary lines on all four sides and lobby areas on both sides of the playing area.
All lines are drawn with a width of 3-5 centimeters using white or yellow paint. The surface can be made of various materials including mud, grass, or synthetic materials, with mud being the traditional choice in rural India. Proper court marking ensures fair play and helps players understand their positioning during the game. |
