Go with the bigger size. 5x5 to small. My daughter hits into almost every night. 7 x 7 better choice. It only take a few minutes to set up.

My son has the Under Armour official size 495 basketball, per Under Armour's website that ball comes in 28.5 or 29.5. I'm unsure which his is but if it's the smaller, there is room for it to expand to the larger circumference.

My daughter is almost three and its a good size with plenty of room to grow. I think it will be ok for your 5 yr old too.

It is about the size of the Nerf basketball that come with the Nerf basketball hoop but it is rubber like a standard basketball however not as hard or heavy, we have a carpet so the bounce cant be heard.

I use this for soccer gear, and a size 5 soccer ball is about 22 cm in diameter, compared to 24 cm for a men's basketball (women's is about .75 cm smaller). My soccer ball fits into either the main compartment or the side ventilated pouch with a good bit of wiggle room, so you should have no problem putting a basketball into either compartment!

Probably depends what you are using it for. For a 5'2" person having it against a wall for balance exercises, the 45 cm ball is perfect. The physical therapist recommended a 45 cm ball, and it was difficult to find -- the large chain sports stores didn't have this small ball. And it's held up well after a year of use.

In my opinion, this one will be too big for her. My sister is about 5 feet tall and likes the 26" Gymnic Bouncy ball instead of this one. Also, the rubber on the this item appears to be weak compared to the Gymnic..hence the cost difference.

Just tried it out for you with my son's basketball (standard size) and YES! It fits easily. Plenty of room left over for all of the other stuff...

David the ball is approximately 5.5 in diameters. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

I think age 2 and up to 8 or 9. It is a small ball for small hands. Kids will use what ever ball is available though! I had these out to play with next to my regular sized one and a 4 year old picked up the "big" ball and threw it in the small hoop and it went in, so it still fit through the net! What ever is your preference is really all that matters, end the end they really dont care what ball is use as long as you have one. Hope that helps!;)

My grandson is almost 6 and the intermediate ball is perfect for his small hands. We will upgrade to the regular size when he's older but for a beginner it was the best choice. Couldn't be happier with the price and quality as well as the basketball rim we purchased. Both were great buys.

I purchased 2 Mikasa Playground Balls, both 8.5 inches, for my granddaughters, age 6 & almost 4 at time of purchase. They both are happy. However, a 2 year old might like the smaller size.

Hi, Lori - size is based on the age of the child. My son is age 8. Typically, age 7 until about 13/14 use a size 4. Then, size 5 is for older youths. Size 3 would be for younger than 7. Matching the ball size to age is important for physical reasons like heading the ball and not putting too much stress on the neck/head. Size 1 is a skills practice ball (very small, but good for mastering certain foot skills). Hope this helps.
