end lines

Court boundary markers

End lines are the lines at each end of a playing field or court, marking the boundary of the playing area.

In basketball and football, the end lines run behind the baskets or goal posts.

Crossing the end line with the ball typically results in a turnover or scores points, depending on the sport and circumstances.
