TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
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 durable ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are what you need.
How much should you inflate your basketball?
A basketball that is overinflated or underinflated doesn't give you the best match experience.
The recommended pressure is clearly marked on the ball by the manufacturer.
Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge so that you can be more precise.
At Tarmak, we recommend a pressure of: 0.62 bar.
Enjoy your game!
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
