Abstract
Proper scaling of sports equipment is necessary to ensure an optimal teaching-learning process . This
study aimed to analyse the effect of reducing basket height on the technical-tactical actions, physical
participation, self-efficacy, cooperation and enjoyment of young basketball players in the competition. 51
under-14 male basketball players from four teams were chosen as the sample. The data collection
included 2,286 attack phases during 12 matches. All players competed in two tournaments using official
basketball rules but different basket heights (official basket height, 3.05 metres, and modified basket
height, 2.80 metres). The dependent variables were: a) types of shooting actions, shot efficacy, and
shooting conditions; b) the duration, type, number of passes done, and efficacy of the attack phases; c)
heart rate values; and d) perception of specific and physical self-efficacy, collective efficacy, cooperation,
and enjoyment. The results show that the scaled basket promoted game styles that increased the
occurrence of fast-breaks and long positional attack phase. Shot efficacy for all shot types improved (notsignificantly) and brought change in players’ specific self-efficacy and enjoyment. These findings show
that scaling equipment can help the transition from mini-basket to regular basket (under-14 age group)
by generating better conditions for players’ development.
