Which size should a ball have for a certain height? Do the younger children also use a big ball or instead smaller ones? I am just asking because I was told that for example to a height of 155cm one should use ball which is 36-45cm big. But it looks that in all videos every student uses a much bigger ball. Doesn't matter if they are sitting on it, lying flat on the ground with their legs on the ball or in that one video where they are passing their ball to each other with their feet. Thank you :)

+noopy99 Thank you for your comment, it is extremely important the size of the ball. The height/ball ratio is documented on my website www.progressingballettechnique.com Usually the junior program is 45cm Senior 55 and depending on height the Advanced sometimes need 65 cm. Hope this assist, Kind regards Marie

Thank you, it helped! :) I am also wondering how these little balls with the nubs(?) are called and which size they should have? Or is there a standard size for them? Thank you for taking your time to answer me! :)

Thank you! There's a debate in our school most are ordering the 20lbs silver theraband, the super heavy band for senior girls and I'm a little apprehensive.
