Spalding Rookie Gear 27.5" Basketball | Lighter to Help Develop Technique | Designed for Indoor & Outdoor Play

We bought this ball for a nephew recently because we bought one for our son about 15 years ago. Our son used this ball to develop correct shooting form at a young age. He ended up a four year varsity high school player that was a leading scorer on his team and a player of the game in the state championship tournament. We give a lot of his shooting ability credit to this ball. Young kids develop poor habits due to balls that are too heavy for correct form. This ball helps to fix that problem…add hard work and the combination can lead to great things on the court.

Arrived quickly and damage free! Our Grandson loves it! Works perfectly Exact color. Holds air like it should. Look and feel are high quality.

I bought this for my great-nephew and he loves it.

Very good basketball. Perfect for my boys. The composite leather is perfect for outdoors. Not cheaply made but high quality. Last thing I wanted was a rubber ball for outside. This is perfect

This is a great basketball for the quality and value. I run a 2nd grade clinic and this is one of the nicer balls there. I only use it for indoor so not sure how well it holds up outside, but has been great inside the gym. It’s a size 5 for Kindergarten and 2nd grade.

This Spalding Rookie Gear Youth Basketball is the perfect size we wanted, though it’s a bit lighter than we expected. That said, it’s been great for daily practice and my son uses it every day to shoot hoops outside. A solid choice for younger players learning the game

The basketball is the best! My grandson loves it! He is able to grip the ball well & shoots like a pro! 😉 There were 2 needles gifted by the seller to air the ball when needed. Great buy! Thank you for the accurate & timely delivery.

Excellent product. Arrived as promised.

This ball must have come with a tear in it, because it leaks air and we have to re pump it at after every single bball practice! It just hits the ground with a hard thud. So annoying. I’ve missed the return window, and now I’m stuck with a flat basketball. Can someone from Spalding please contact me?! I have no way of contacting this company on the Amazon page.

Buen producto! pero esperaba un poco de mayor calidad del material, que no es malo pero si deseaba mayor agarre para los niños habiendo alternativas más económicas.

Perfect basketball for a 6-8 year old. My kid loves it!

Marca de calidad ,no hace falta decir más .
