Design details

Should you take your kids to basketball lessons?

Basketball is one of those sports that kids can learn from a very young age with smaller balls and adjustable hoops. You can even take them to special basketball lessons with child-friendly rules from the age of 3-4. This helps them develop their motor skills by learning not only the right technique but also working as a team. Basketball also develops muscles, flexibility, speed, endurance and team spirit.

What ball should you use?

The ball size depends on the player's age and sex. Size 1: Ages 3 and up Size 3: Girls and boys ages 4 to 6 Size 5: Boys ages 7 to 11 / Girls ages 7 to 13 Size 6: Boys ages 12 to 13 / Girls/Women ages 14 and up Size 7: Boys/Men ages 14 and up If you want a very robust ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are what you need.

What height basket should you choose?

The official height of a basketball basket is 3.05m (rim height). If you want a basketball basket for your child, you need something that will grow with them. For younger kids there isn't an official height so you can choose whatever suits them best. Up to the age of 10, club baskets are set at 2.60m. After the age of 10, both girls and boys play with 3.05m baskets
