The balls are ever-so-slighty smaller.\n\n"The men's ball's circumference is about 30 inches (76 cm) and weighs about 1 lb 5 oz (600 g). The women's ball's circumference is about 29 inches (73 cm) and weighs about 1 lb 3 oz (540 g)."\n\nThey are most likely smaller because women generally have smaller hands than men.

It was discovered during the annual meeting that the conversion noted in the ball specifications in the rules book are incorrect, and the tolerance for the diameter of the volleyball should be between 25.6 to 26.4 inches, which is less than the 25 ½ to 27 inches currently listed in the rules. Ball manufacturers will be given until the 2007 season to comply with the correct diameter conversion.\n\nThe ball is 9 to 10 oz. in weight, 25-1/2" to 26-1/2" in circumference, 8.5 inches in diameter. Usual inflation is between 4 and 6 lbs. air pressure.:-)

The size of the basketball court varies from 94 feet in length at the college and professional level, to sizes much smaller for youth leagues. Likewise, the height of the basket and the size of the basketball are adjusted for the player's size.

In Canada the court is 9m x 9m on each side of the net with the attack line 3m from the net.  The whole court would be 18m x 9m.  For men's games the net is 2.43m and for women's it is 2.24m.  The net height varies depending on gender and level of play.  For court condition, I prefer hardwood courts (I've played on rubber cement and tile.  Tile hurts too much and you slide forever on rubber cement if it is not cleaned frequently).

The Sputnik 1 satellite was a 58.0 cm-diameter aluminum sphere that carried four whip-like antennas that were 2.4-2.9 m long. The antennas looked like long "whiskers" pointing to one side.\n\nWho plays basketball with a 23 inch diameter ball?

The college game is identical for men and women, two 20 minute halves, same ball.  Things stay the same as college in the WNBA, while the NBA uses a slightly bigger ball and has four 12 minute quarters.

Good question, but Girls don't reveal their weight. So good luck finding it, but Men's basketball player weight is easy.

Sometimes they just don't look good. Some women have features that are too small for big hoops. One of whom, unfortunately, is me. But I like them so much that I've decided to wear them anyway.

i'm willing to bet the its a regulation 10 foot basket, seeing as how its so close to the jr. high level...however, depending on the league it could be shorter

I totally agree as long as an equal substitute is available for women. I prefer to play sports with the girls and save other activities for the boys ;0) My man plays on his softball team and I play on mine and when we want to play together we join a co-ed but it would be dumb to try to get on a men only team!@! Hints the name MEN'S TEAM!!!!!! Some women just have "penis envy" Dont hold it agains the rest of us!
