One more thing to weigh

Most players this age are already playing games on a full 10-foot rim. If your player has real experience and mostly needs sharpening, 10 feet may be the better call. If they're newer to the game or still need to dial in their fundamentals, stick with the number above.

This is a training height, built for dialing in proper shooting mechanics — not a rule. It may not match what your rec league or school requires, and that's by design. Once mechanics are solid, raise the rim.
