On the topic of the thesis "Construction and calculation of basketball hoops" in the first part, an overview of the area in which the history of basketball is described, something about the rules of basketball and shows the types of structures used in halls and outdoor courts. Metal constructions, their division and static definiteness, ie indeterminacy, are also described. The second part of the thesis presents a model of basketball hoop construction made in the NX software package. The geometry was created on the example of structures seen on outdoor terrains. Then, an analytical calculation of welds was made because most of the structure is connected by welds, so stress calculations were made in welded joints. Most of the work is devoted to the numerical calculation of the construction of basketball hoops. The calculation was made using the finite element method in the Ansys Workbench software package in such a way as to show the displacements and stresses in the structure at the moment when the structure is loaded with human weight. The calculation was made for the whole structure to show the solutions on the rim because they are the largest there, but a calculation of the structure without the rim was made because there are stresses and displacements on the rim support but they are significantly than the previous calculation. The calculation was made in such a way as to make a comparison for the density of the finite element network and the results were compared. The paper uses second-order tetrahedral elements to generate a network. At the end of the paper, a conclusion was made based on the obtained solutions.
