What ball should you use?
The ball size depends on the player's age and sex.
Baby basketball: sizes 1 to 3.
Girls and boys under age 10: size 5.
Girls aged 10 and up, women, and boys aged 10 to 12: size 6.
Boys ages 12 and up, and men: 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.
What makes the SK900 Set innovative among basketball hoops?
The SK900 is an innovative product exclusive to Decathlon.
Every player has dreamed of being able to take a basketball hoop on vacation or to the park with friends.
However, a basketball hoop is by definition fixed (to a wall or on a base on the ground).
The SK900 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. Also attaches to a wall with screws.
It is the perfect hoop for having fun anywhere and everywhere!
Which ball can be used with the SK900 Set?
The ideal ball for playing with the SK900 Set is the Wizzy Tarmak from Decathlon.
The Wizzy is a size 5 basketball that is 18% lighter than a classic ball. It is the right size for the Hoop's rim and allows players, particularly younger children, to shoot from farther away!
Wizzy balls are designed to match our SK900 Set range, so you can gift the right size ball and hoop together!
