The backcourt refers to the area of the court closest to a team's own basket or goal in tennis, basketball, and similar games. In basketball, it is the half of the court where the team plays defense, trying to prevent the opposing team from scoring on their basket. Players often pass the ball to the backcourt to start offensive plays. In tennis, the backcourt is the area near the baseline, where players usually stand to return deep shots. It is an important part of the court for both defense and launching attacks.
