Oakie Basketball



What do you need for an oakie basketball court? I will share my recipe.

1 12 year old boy who REALLY wants court lines to go with his hoop in the driveway.
1 mom willing to try
1 tape measure (at least a 25 footer)
20 ft. length of clothesline
1 box of sidewalk chalk
1 nice 2'X4' (for a straight edge)
1 carpenter's square
1 diagram of basketball court dimensions (off the Internet)
a generous sprinkling of a mother's stubbornness
2 cans of spray paint

Put these ingredients together for about 1 hour on a hot blacktop driveway and you will have an Oakie basketball court cooked up.
Happy Hoops!
