Silverback Basketball: Portable Hoops
If you're not ready to sink a post in concrete, this is the go-to portable. The base fills with water or sand to stay put on windy Florida afternoons, and it adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet so it grows with your player. Great value for a first real hoop.

The gold-standard outdoor ball. The tackskin cover grips well even in Florida humidity, and the composite leather takes a beating on rough asphalt without shredding. This is the one that lives in the garage and just never wears out.
WILSON NBA Authentic Outdoor Basketballs
The classic rubber street ball built for concrete and asphalt. It's practically indestructible, holds air forever, and costs less than a couple of movie tickets. Grab two so nobody argues over the good one.

Nothing says fresh hoop like a crisp new net. These thick all-weather nets shrug off Florida sun and rain, and swapping the sad, shredded one that came with your hoop is a five-minute upgrade that makes every swish sound better.
All-Weather Heavy-Duty Replacement Basketball Net
Because a driveway is a blank canvas. Beyond hopscotch and four-square, the kids will chalk out free-throw lines and games for hours. It's washable, so the first Florida afternoon storm wipes the slate clean for tomorrow.
