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!

- 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
- The ball size depends on the player's age and sex. Size 1: Ages 3 and up Sizes 3 and 4: 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.
