In the United States, children start playing basketball as soon as they are able to understand the concept of tossing the ball into the basket. This simple game is delightful for most toddlers. There are small basketball sets that can be used to teach children the concept of “making a basket.” This can be something that they play all the time for fun. When a child is about two years old, you can start him playing basketball.
Many parents who want their kids to play basketball will get a basket hoop installed in the driveway. This can be a transportable basketball hoop that is weighted down with a heavy base, or it can actually be installed in cement. While it should be on even, flat ground, if you look at any suburb in the United States, you will see basketball hoops - some permanent and others transportable, on sloping driveways and small places. Outdoor basketball courts are also seen throughout most parks in the suburbs and on concrete in urban areas.
If you decide to get a basketball hoop for your kids, you should get one that you can raise and lower so that it will be age appropriate for the kids. You cannot expect a five year old to be able to sink a 10 foot basket. Most hoops that are made from the home are adjustable.
Some people only get a backboard and steel hoop and attach it to the top of the garage. This is also a staple in many American homes. This gives the kids a chance to learn how to sink baskets from the driveway and allows kids to play a fun game outdoors.
