Spalding Street Basketball

No, this ball is specifically engineered for outdoor use. The rubber cover is designed to withstand the abrasive texture of asphalt and concrete, which would feel too hard and slippery on a polished indoor court.

This is the official size for women's and youth basketball (often referred to as a size 6). It is slightly smaller and lighter than the standard men's size 7 ball, making it easier to handle for younger players or those who prefer a smaller grip.

No, a pump is not included. However, the ball is shipped fully inflated, so you can start using it immediately without needing to pump it up right away.

The deep channels create more surface area for your fingers to grip, which helps with ball control and shooting accuracy. It is particularly helpful for outdoor play where dust or grit can sometimes make the ball feel slick.

While the rubber material is durable and weather-resistant, it is still best practice to store the ball indoors or in a garage when not in use. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat, cold, or moisture can degrade the rubber and affect the ball's bounce over time.
