What ball sizes fit through this hoop? How about the kid size (real) baseket ball not the foam ones?

regular ball fits through, my kids have not had trouble with any ball used.

The smaller youth basketball fits well. That is what I purchased for my 6 and 8 year old granddaughters. The smaller ball fits their hands better at this age. They love the goal and we are hoping that starting at this age they will enjoy sports and hopefully play basketball in high school and college.

No the hoop is not wide enough. However it comes with a small ball when you order the product.

It varies by age. Young kids use a smaller ball. I don't know exactly what the ages are but roughly I would say : size 3 babies to toddlers. Size 4 kinder - 3rd graders. And #5 for older kids and grown ups.

I did not measure the ball. It was perfect for a 3-4 year old. It is too small for 6-8 yrs old.

I think it requires a long 3/4" diameter shank. The shank is the threaded bolt beneath the ball. Balls have either a 3/4" diam or 1" diam shank. Yours is probably 1" diam. Get a 2.5" or 3" long shank that is 3/4" diameter and it will fit.

I wondered the same thing. On the manufacturer's web site it says - Colors and sizes may vary. They also sell 2.5", 2.8", and 3" balls. They call the 3" ball large. Pretty lame if you ask me.

I'm guessing its around 6 inches. The net is quite flexible.. As long as ball fits in hoop, you should be able to get it through the net. A second ball is good idea as our kids fight over it.

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.

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

I guess it works. I use this hold kids balls for my son. I am not sure the size.

The diameter should be 55 centimeters, from one side to the other side going through the center. I think some companies may make the same size in different colors. My understanding is that the size should be on your ball, either near the brand name or around the end where it is to be inflated. I would check for a size, perhaps you were sent a wrong size.

I haven't tried fitting a basket ball. But I have fit a size 5 soccer ball (27-28 inches) in the ball compartment without issue. While holding the size 5 soccer ball I have also been able to fit a size 4 soccer ball (25-26 inches) and 30 short practice cones in the main compartment at the same time. I would be willing to guess you will have no issues hold a basketball in there.

My kids like the 8 or bigger balls. They use them for 4-square, bouncing, and big ball (kind of like kick ball but you use a bat).

the balls are normal sized but they kind of squeeze thru the holes. i ended up getting smaller ones for my son. so it was easier for him

Size 5. Go to this link and read the section on the bottom entitled "Choosing the Right Size Ball.": http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/info/index.jsp?categoryId=13299258&infoPath=222998#5

Nope. The fastpitch league my daughter plays in, 10U, uses the smaller 11inch ball and it can't fit through, not even close. I just checked and a baseball doesn't even fit through. It's a great mask. I highly recommend it. Also, my daughter for 10 years old is average size, and the adult size fits perfectly when adjusted correctly.

Hi Liddia.. Sorry that I cannot be much help, and took so long to let you know. I ordered foam balls from three different suppliers, exactly because I didn't know the sizes. Wondered, as you have. Would be nice if the descriptions included sizes. I don't know which balls came from which source. I can only report that all of them were about 1-1/2 inch to 3 inches. Hope this helps some?? Ralph
