Sports reviews of Spalding Rookie Gear Basketball
Customer Review: Perfect For Beginners
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
When I decided to purchase this basketball I was a little worried that it would be a cheap feeling rubber basketball. I'm glad to say that is not the case. This is a fantastic basketball made of composite leather. I have a 4, 6, and 8 year old and they all love it. It's just the right size for smaller hands and the lighter weight of the 27.5 ball makes it easier for young kids to get their form right without having to worry so much about getting the ball to the basket. I highly recommend this basketball for younger kids.
