A regulation basketball goal, called the basket, is in most level of competition exactly 10 feet from the ground. It must be the steel basket that is 10 feet above the court and not the board. It may be considered important that the correct height is respected because it may affect a player's performance.

A regulation basketball goal is exactly 10 feet from the ground to the rim. The free throw line is 15 feet from the backboard. You can buy poles that have adjustable heights to allow you to lower it for small kids to play on and then raise it back to 10 feet for regulation games.
