Perfect for the little sports fan

Made for the hoops kid — camp leagues, driveway games, color war and an easy step up from a plain school yarmulke. The optional flat-with-clips sizes help keep it on through an actual game, so it is as practical as it is fun. It belongs to the same family as the iKippah Soccer, Baseball and Boxing Dov Bear kippahs for a coordinated brothers set.

Why parents love this basketball kippah

The breathable navy mesh keeps an active boy cool, the Dov Bear basketball print stays sharp, and the flat-with-clips option means it can survive a fast game without sliding off. Sizes run from a size-1 toddler kippah for a 3-year-old up to a size-5 kippah for an adult man, and the mesh wipes clean in seconds — a genuinely low-maintenance everyday kids’ kippah.

Frequently asked questions

What size kippah should I order for my child?
Size 1 fits roughly ages 2–4, Size 2 ages 4–7, Size 3 ages 7–10, Size 4 ages 10–13, and Size 5 most teens and adult men; Size 6 and the flat sizes run a little larger again. Between sizes? Size up, WhatsApp us your child’s age and head circumference, or visit our Lakewood showroom for a personal fitting.

Is a kippah the same as a yarmulke or a yarmulka?
Yes — kippah, yarmulke and yarmulka are three spellings for the same head covering (the Hebrew word is kippah, the Yiddish is yarmulke / yarmulka). However you spell it, this is the one you are looking for.

What are the “flat with clips” sizes?
Those variants are flat-style kippahs that come with hair clips already attached, so they stay put during sports and active play. Choose a clip size for a younger or very active child who tends to lose a regular kippah.

Is a mesh kippah good for camp and sports?
Yes — the open athletic mesh breathes much better than solid cotton or velvet, so it stays cool and comfortable through hot camp days and on the court.

Can my boys get the matching sports Dov Bear kippahs?
Yes — it pairs with the iKippah Soccer, Baseball and Boxing Dov Bear yarmulkes so each brother can claim his own sport while the set stays coordinated for Shabbos.
