Great beginners basketball

Jr size 27.5 and slightly lighter weight than same size balls make for a better practice ball, kids can develop better shooting form without having to heave a heavy ball. Also nice material on the outside provides good feel to the ball. And rainbow color us a hit with the kids.  Durable, this is a quality ball we have one that we have used for 2 years and still in great shape.

My husband and I wanted to begin hooping, but were a little unsure of our success considering our ages (49 & 50) and considerable lack of experience (ie. none).  After reading the reviews here, we landed on this 3 lb Acu Hoop.  This hoop was a great starter hoop and still one we like to come back to from time to time.  The 3 lbs of weight really help keep the hoop up, as the weightier the hoop, the easier it is to stay aloft.  However, just as a warning, those same 3 lbs also will cause bruising around your waist/hips (and anywhere else it might whack you while you're learning).  This was not a big deal to us, as it was proving our success.

We've since learned that a lighter weight "professional" hoop (1.5-2 lbs) is actually a better work-out, as you have to use your muscles to a greater degree to keep it up.  However, I'm still very glad we started with this hoop, as we would have been too discouraged to continue with another lighter one.  The whole hooping experience has been great fun and we're seeing results in our waistlines!

I was really excited to be able to purchase this for my 3yo son. He recently became very interested in basketball and I knew he would enjoy this. It arrived quickly, the packaging was secure. This folds out quite easily, and has two hooks with strong fabric straps which make it easy to adjust the height once you hang it from the top of the door. It took a little time to figure out how to indicate the balls, the needle was taped to the outside of the small pump. Also the balls are not the same size as mentioned in other posts. Regardless, my son had a lot of fun trying to throw the balls in the basket :) totally recommended!!! I didn't have batteries on hand to test the electronic scoreboard yet but even if it didn't work I think this was well worth the purchase!!!

I received this item at a discount for a honest and unbiased review.

I bought two of these for my 9 year old son, who wants to start playing tennis.  The extra large head is nice for beginners and the racket is very light.  Highly recommend for the entry level player.

I love this video. My kids (ages 2-7) love watching this and laugh and laugh through basketballs aren't for breakfast. If you go foreign language for kids by kids website, there are links to watch sample videos. This was how I decided to purchase this one. We are learning the Spaish words presented in this video and I hear my kids use the words while they play.

LOVE this hoop! It's great for beginners because the weight gives you control of how fast or slow you want to go. It's been very durable - owned it for over a year now and it barely has any marks on it. Love the tape colors and the quality of the hoop. I would definitely recommend this hoop to everyone I know. Happy hooping!

We've had one of those plastic Fisher Price basketball hoops for almost 2 years now but my 3 year old has never been interested in playing with it. Recently he started asking to be lifted up to the big hoop in our driveway so that he could throw the basketball in so we decided to get him a little mini hoop that he could play indoors.

Because this item is mailed from overseas shipping took 2-3 weeks. The basketball hoop arrived disassembled in a medium sized box. My husband and our 7 year old son got to work putting it together right away. There were no instructions but it was pretty easy to figure out how to put it together and the entire process only took the 2 of them about 5 minutes. This hoop comes with 2 basketballs and a pump to blow the balls up. One of the balls is the perfect size to fit through the hoop and the other is just a tiny bit too big. I'm not really sure what the purpose of the 2nd ball is. The entire basketball hoop consists of a base, 3 metal rods, 3 screws to hold the rods in place, the backboard and the hoop. To use the hoop at its highest height you simply screw all 3 rods into the base and each other. To use at mid height you drop the top pole into the middle pole and tighten the screws and to use it at the lowest height you use only 1 rod. The backboard and base on this hoop are a bit smaller than expected but they serve their purpose. At regular price of $40 I think this hoop is a bit overpriced, especially in comparison with others. My 3 year old has really loved playing basketball indoors though and my 7 year old has enjoyed playing with this basketball hoop too. Anything that keeps my kids busy and happy is a win in my book.

I have had this gun for about six months now, and I am beginning to get better at paintball. But this is a great beginner gun. No paint breaks, no jams, and it shoots well. Gets around 230 feet per second (FPS). It's accurate at about 20 or so yards, then it starts to fade off. Distance is about 30 yards. Not bad for close to mid range fields. The trigger is no micro-trigger like the more expensive guns, so speed ball is out of the question. But again, it's good for beginners.

The instructions to put this together weren't that clear, but the basketball hoop is awesome!  My kids, 6 and 8, love it and I think they'll get many years out of it.

This item is a must buy for ages 5 to 8 years old. Unreal how the kids can shoot and learn to dribble with this ball. I would highly recommend this basketball.

I purchased this as a beginner goat for my son.  It arrived quickly and he lives learning to play. I would recommend this for anyone starting their kids out.

(This review is written by my 11 yr old, who brought the hoop for his little brother's 6th birthday)
I bought this for my little brother's 6th birthday. He loved it! He forced me to play with it and it is great. He dunked again and again! and it held! (Note: did not hang). I love basketball and likes doing slam dunks. We played with my Dad and friends. It holds good. Easy construction, ball comes deflated, and it is very loud when you make a basket. This is great for an apartment or a house, and is fun for all ages!

If you are starting with kids that don't know anything about the sport of basketball this is a great book to have, so you can teach the fundamentals of the game.

The kids love playing with the Hoop. The ability upload videos really makes this worthwhile.  Our youtube account is filled to the brim with slam dunks!

This is a great sewing basket for beginners.  I bought it for my daughter for Christmas as she is starting to learn to sew.  I have a similar sewing basket and thought it was like mine.  I obviously did not read the dimensions because it was smaller than I had anticipated.  All in all, she was very happy with it, it came with everything you need to get started and has room for growth.
