Basketball Coloring Pages

Nothing arrives already coloured

A basketball is orange, a rim is orange, a net is white and a tyre is black — none of that is printed for you here. Every ball in this set is blank white paper with its seams drawn as single thin lines. Every rim is a hollow ring rather than a solid band. Every net is an open mesh you can see straight through. Even the wheelchair tyre is a hollow outline, so it can be any colour you like.

No team names and no logos

Every jersey, backboard, banner, scoreboard and clipboard on these pages is deliberately blank. That keeps the pages usable by anyone, and it means a child can put their own team and their own number on the shirt rather than colouring in somebody else's.

Six pages with players in them

Most basketball colouring sheets are just a ball. Six of these have people: a child holding a ball, a player mid-jump shooting, a player running and dribbling, two playing one-on-one, a team of four arm in arm, and a player in a sports wheelchair with every spoke drawn separately. A seventh has a coach pointing while two players listen.

Three places to play

There is a neighbourhood court with a chain-link fence you can see through and houses beyond it, a street hoop against a city skyline where every window is left white, and a full arena with a crowd in the stands — and every single spectator in that crowd is drawn as an outline rather than a dark speck, so the whole stand can be coloured.

Which page to start with

The single basketball and the child holding a ball are the most forgiving — big shapes, thick lines. The court plan, the patterned ball and the arena are the slow ones and work better with fineliners than with pencils.

Printing

Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page”, and match the file to your paper — Letter or A4. The button at the top bundles all twenty into a single download.
