What makes the Hoop 500 innovative compared to other basketball hoops?
The Hoop innovation is exclusive to Decathlon.
Kids and keen basketball players are always wanting to take a basketball basket on holiday or to the park with their friends.
However, the whole point of a basket is that it is fixed (to a wall or on a stand).
The hoop is a true revolution. It is light, compact and has two straps, meaning you can take it anywhere and attach it to any tree or post. The ideal backboard for having fun wherever you are, with friends or family!
Which ball can be used with the Hoop?
The ideal ball for playing with the Hoop is the Wizzy Tarmak from Decathlon.
The Wizzy is a size 5 basketball, 18% lighter than a classic ball. It is the right size for the Hoop and means that any player, particularly smaller ones, can shoot from further away!
The Wizzy balls range is designed to match the Hoops range so you can be completely coordinated!

Did you know that all Tarmak products are tested in the lab and in match conditions?
The design team behind the TARMAK products is based at the Kipstadium training centre in Northern France. Always striving to improve players' comfort, we test our products in the lab and in real play situations in order to be as close as possible to your play needs.
Who designs the Tarmak basketball products?
Our team of designers, who also play, develops the TARMAK range of basketball products. We design and test our products to meet the needs of the most demanding players. Our goal: your fun on the court!
What ball should you use?
The ball size depends on the player's age and sex.
Baby basketball: size 1 to 3.
Girls and boys under 10: size 5.
Girls aged 10 and up, women, and boys aged 10 to 12: size 6.
Male player aged 12+: size 7.
If you want a very durable ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are the right materials.
