How much should you inflate a basketball?
A basketball that is over-inflated or under-inflated does not provide the best game experience. The recommended pressure is clearly marked on the ball by the manufacturer. Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge to be more accurate. At Tarmak, we recommend a pressure of: 0.62 bar. Enjoy your game!

What basket height should you choose?
The official height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m (rim height). If you want a basketball hoop for your child, you need something that will grow with them. For younger children there is no official height, so you can choose whatever suits them best.
Up to 10 years old, club hoops are set at 2.60 m. After 10 years old, both girls and boys play with 3.05 meter hoops.
What ball should you use?
The size of the ball depends on the age and gender of the player. Size 1: Ages 3 and up
Sizes 3 and 4: Girls and boys aged 4 to 6
Size 5: Boys 7 to 11 years / Girls 7 to 13 years
Size 6: Boys aged 12 to 13 / Girls/Women aged 14 and up
