MacGregor Recruit Basketball

Yes. The MacGregor Recruit features a durable rubber cover specifically designed to withstand the abrasive nature of outdoor surfaces like concrete and asphalt, as well as indoor gym floors.

This ball is sized for younger children who are just learning the fundamentals of the game. The 22-inch circumference is smaller than a standard regulation ball, making it easier for smaller hands to grip, dribble, and shoot with proper form.

The basketball is shipped deflated, so you will need to have a pump and needle on hand to inflate it before the first use. A pump is not included with the purchase.

The high-pebble texture is designed to provide consistent grip, but like any rubber basketball, it will perform best when kept clean. If it gets muddy or wet, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to maintain the surface traction.
