First: The Square Parts

Draw the intersection, with a 6x6 center square and two

3 lanes approaching from each side.
Draw 5 lanes, 70-75 long, along the long side of your
space, aligning lanes 3 & 4 with the intersection.
At the other end of the lanes from the intersection, draw
3 wide crosswalk, and add diagonal striping.

1 2 3 4 5

Parallel to the 5 lanes, but on the other side of the space,

draw one 8 wide lane, about 80 long.

Then: The Curvy Parts

Measure out your target points, drawing an X at each one:

20 along the 8 lane (from the intersection end of the

space), then 3 toward the 5 lanes.

60 more along the 8 lane, then 3 toward the 5 lanes.

40 along the inside edge of the 5 lanes, then 3
toward the 8 lane.

From this last X, measure 7 more toward the 8 lane.

Draw a small O. Measure 14 from the O toward one end
of the space. Put an X.
Return to the O. Measure 14 toward the other end of the
space. Put an X.

Choose the end middle points (eyeball them). Indent 3

in from the edge of the space, and put an X.
You should now have Xs marking out the shape of the
curve across the court (7 total).

Draw the curve:

Start with the chalk lined up with lane 4, or the lane
just to the outside of the center lane. Arc to your first X,
hitting it with the inside piece of chalk.
Arc to the second X, hitting with the inside piece of chalk
again.
Arc to the next X and keep going to the rest of the Xs,
making sure the SAME piece of chalk is hitting the Xs.

Finish by arcing to the outside lane connecting to

the intersection.
Starting at the lane right next to where you
just finished, the inside lane approaching the
intersection, add a second lane to the curve by
following along the inside of the curve you just
drew. This should mean the same piece of chalk is
hitting all the Xs again.
