Indoor Basketball with a Microfiber Composite Leather Cover for School Practice and Everyday Play

This indoor basketball brings a dry-tack microfiber composite leather cover to school practices, PE sessions and everyday play. The Baden Perfection Elite combines a cushioned layer beneath the cover and symmetrical panels to give players a softer, more even feel as they handle the ball.

Premium nylon windings and a rubber core form the ball's internal construction, while the recessed Stealth Valve helps keep the valve less noticeable during play. Select the 29.5-inch official size or 28.5-inch intermediate size, each offered with or without personalization.

This is a non-NFHS ball. It cannot be used in an official high school game with NFHS officials because it does not meet the required certification.
