Not more than 8 feet.... by: Joe Waters - webmaster
For 6 - 9 year olds, the basket should be 8 feet high.
If you have a hoop that can be lowered more than that, that's even better for 5 - 6 year olds.
The object is to have them experience success as they are shooting the basketball. Adjust the basket so that the players are able to shoot the ball comfortably and with success.
