Screamin' Colors Rubber Basketballs

Make basketball fun for beginners! Kids will be ready to play right away as soon as they see the bright colors of these balls. Nylon windings protect a butyl bladder in this introductory ball, with deep pebbling and medium-width channels included to make the ball easier to grip. The colors also make the ball easier to see, which leads to better aiming for shots and better tracking of the ball for catching passes and rebounds.

Rubber is the best material for an introductory ball as it holds up to heavy use on all surfaces, indoors or out. Nylon windings protect a butyl bladder while retaining perfectly round shape for years. A tacky surface allows for better grip and control on the court.

Screamin' Orange. Available in 2 sizes.
