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. Review: Great quality at a good price. Very durable!! - Arrived quickly and damage free! Our Grandson loves it! Works perfectly Exact color. Holds air like it should. Look and feel are high quality. ## Features - Youth: Size 5, 27.5" - Performance composite cover - 15% lighter to help develop technique - Shipped inflated and game-ready - Designed for indoor and outdoor play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QJKTT4J | | Age Range (Description) | Youth | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,928 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #154 in Basketballs | | Brand | Spalding | | Brand Name | Spalding | | Color | Multi Color | | Construction Type | Composite | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (935) | | Date First Available | December 14, 2020 | | Included Components | Basketball | | Item Diameter | 27.5 Inches | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 27.5 x 27.5 x 10 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 10.3 x 10.3 x 9.9 inches | | Item Weight | 1.17 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Spalding | | Material | Composite | | Model Name | Spalding Rookie Gear Youth Indoor-Outdoor Basketball | | Number of Items | 1 | | Outer Material | Composite Leather | | Package Weight | 0.64 Kilograms | | Part Number | 76951A | | Size | Size 5, 27.5" | | Sport | Basketball | | Style | 2022 Version | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | UPC | 689344406459 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Youth - **Brand:** Spalding - **Color:** Multi Color - **Item Weight:** 1.17 Pounds - **Material:** Composite ## Images ![Rookie Gear 27.5" Basketball | Lighter to Help Develop Technique | Designed for Indoor & Outdoor Play - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oxFqC4yFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ball for youth *by J***S on January 5, 2025* We bought this ball for a nephew recently because we bought one for our son about 15 years ago.
