What makes the Tarmak K 500 Basketball Light Size 3 the ideal ball for your child to learn to play basketball?
Basketball is a sport that requires dexterity and agility. To make learning easier for children, this ball is 30% lighter than other balls of the same size. This makes it easier for them to pass and score successfully. The outer cover has a foam layer, making it softer than a standard ball. Little hands won’t be hurt, which helps your child build confidence.
Why the K 500 Basketball Light Size 4? It’s the perfect ball for playing with the Hoop 500 Basketball Hoop!
The Tarmak K 500 Basketball Light Size 4 is perfect for playing with the Hoop 500 Basketball Hoop (the hoop that can be set up anywhere). The K 500 Basketball Light Size 4 is lighter than a traditional ball. It is the right size for the Hoop 500 Basketball Hoop and allows players, particularly younger children, to shoot from farther away!
What ball size to choose?
The ball size depends on the player's age and gender. Size 1: Ages 2 and up. Size 3 to size 5: Girls or boys ages 4 to 6/Baby basket under 7 age group (depending on levels and clubs) Size 5: Boys and girls ages 7 to 10/Under 9 and under 11 age groups Size 6: Boys ages 11 and 12/Under 13 age group Size 6: Girls over 11 and women of all ages. Size 7: Boys - Men of all ages over 13
What’s the ideal pressure to get the right bounce from your K 500 Basketball Light Size 3?
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 for precision inflation. We recommend inflating your K 500 Basketball Light Size 3 to: 5.08 psi. Enjoy your game!
What hoop height should you choose?
The official height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m [10'] (rim height). If you want a basketball hoop 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 hoops are set at 2.60 m (8'6"). After the age of 10, both girls and boys play with hoops set at 3.05 m (10').

My son is 6 y.o. but still on the smaller size so he has difficulty to shoot the regular size 5 basketball. We also bought the size 3 from Décathlon which is great playing inside the house. This size 4 ultra light basketball is perfect for him to bring it out in the gym that f
airly close to a size 5 but it’s extra light so he can shoot the basketball. He loves it!
