Basketballs
A basketball is bought by size: 3 and 5 for children, 6 for youth and women's play and 7 for men. Here you will find balls for outdoors on the school playground and balls that sit well on an indoor court too.
The right size and surface
Outdoor balls have a tougher rubber outer layer that copes with asphalt and concrete. Indoor balls are softer and grip better on a wooden floor. If your child mostly plays out on the street, always take a proper outdoor ball.
Keeping it pumped up
A basketball plays best when it is properly hard: drop it from hip height and it should bounce back to about your waist. Pump it up regularly, because a ball that is too soft is harder to dribble and teaches an awkward wrist action.
