Kids' hoops
Small, light hoops are recommended for children ages 5 to 12. They are typically 28 to 36 inches across and weigh about 8 ounces.
Snap-together hoops are easy to resize as kids grow. Look for a set so more than one person can play at once.
Grown-up sizes at home
Adults and older kids do better with a larger hoop. It spins more slowly, so it is easier to keep going while you learn.
Make it a game
- Take turns counting how long each hoop stays up.
- Try a different move each round: waist, arm or off the body.
- Practice outside on grass, or in a room with space to move.
