Adjusting to different size balls is easier

the rim always should stay at 10ft. and as they grow theyll automatically use bigger basketballs, especially if they're playing for a school team because they use different balls for different grades/levels.

i would let your kid first learn how to handle the ball...let him have a feel for the game...
dribbling,defense,etc.
then start off on a lower hoop and emphasize proper form on his shot...you can't just huck a ball up and expect him to make it consistently
