The best hoop for kids is the one that they'll want to play on. However, many youngsters like to copy grown-ups, so it's important to select a model with enough height for children who are 5 ft. (1.5 m) or taller. When shopping for an outdoor hoop, you should measure the space available and make sure there is at least 2 ft. (60 cm) of clear radius on all sides of the unit between it and nearby items such as trees or fences - if there isn't you may need to buy more expensive models that offer greater adjustability in the same unit. If you're looking for hoops designed specifically with little players in mind, then consider buying smaller models based on principles. The Little Tikes Easy Score Basketball Set is the best possible option for all ages of kids.
