What size basketball can fit in this hoop?

I haven't tried a full regulation size ball, but we have a junior size ball that seems to fit just right.

A regulation ball will fit. My 4 year old uses a junior size and I toss around a regulation size when I am out with him.

Hmm. I'd say the footprint is smaller than the size of a regular basketball. And it's about 12 inches high.

The wood that the hoop is made of is quite thin - about 1/8" or 3/16". When you ask how "tall" it is, I assume you are asking the diameter. The diameter of the hoop is 23".

not sure on the measurements, but i used them for 14-17 yr old boys basketball and they were way to small for most of them. they were able to put them on, and they served the purpose, but were not ideal. perhaps for much younger players they would be fine.

They are rather large sections so I don't think that would work. I would suggest buying a smaller one as well. I purchased this for my workouts and then a smaller regular hoop to use as well.

No, the Fisher-Price Basketball Hoop doesn't accept full-sized basketballs, only the size that comes with the set, which is smaller and child-sized. But the pole does NOT adjust to 10' high at all. The rim to the floor measures 3'4". Yes, it is quite stable at the highest setting. The pole comes out of the base for easy transporting from outside to inside.

I'm not sure. If the goal will accomodate a standard size basketball, I would say a standard size net. Have you contacted Fisher Price about a replacement net? Good luck!

Not sure exactly. It's quite small though. Definitely not the size of a regular basketball. Not even the size of a "junior" bball.

This basketball hoop only goes as high as 7.5ft. I bought it for my 5 year old who will be starting in a basketball league that plays in a 7.5ft. I can probably get 4-5 years out of this. If your child is already 10 years old (probably in 4th grade), you may only get 1-2 more years with this hoop. You may want to get the Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard instead since this will adjust from 7.5 to 10 ft. Normally, they start playing with 10ft rims in 6th grade. I hope this helps.

The rim adjusts from 7.5 feet up to the standard 10 ft. Our hoop is exactly that.

If you notice the hoop is adjustable in the back. Once you get everything in and put together, you attach a tape measure to the lip of the rim and turn the adjustment until the lip of the rim is 10 ft above the playing surface. OR you can make the surfaces the same height by using 2X8's or 2x10's as forms...whichever is easier.

the basketball player is about 3 feet 4 inches tall and about 2 feet wide. The basket is separate and you can put it where you want it. The basket is about 1 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet. This looks great in a kids room. We get lots of compliments.

I put my son's basketball inside easily- it is regulation size- and there is still plenty of room for shoes and other gear (unless they are clown shoes!)

Get the ball which is a little smaller than the men's traditional basketball. It is actually used by girl's teams.

I purchased a smaller youth sized basketball to help my grandson become more proficient at dribbling and shooting the ball. The goal will accommodate both sizes, so I will transition him into the regular size ball as he gets older.

It should fit. My son has the next size ball down which is only a little smaller and it does fine.
