Description
Overview
The Wilson FIBA 3×3 is the Official Game Ball of FIBA 3×3, made to FIBA specifications for the 3×3 World Series. Its defining feature is the size: a size 6 shell with the weight of a size 7, which is the standard for the 3×3 format.
Wilson's Wave Triple Threat technology and pebbled channels handle grip and control over a High Performance Composite cover. It is listed for indoor and outdoor use and for match, training and recreational play, so a school or club can run its 3×3 competition and practise with the same ball. Standard balls are in our basketballs category.
Key benefits
- Trains players on the exact ball the 3×3 format uses.
- Size 6 body with size 7 weight, as 3×3 requires.
- Grip in hand from pebbled channels and Wave Triple Threat technology.
- Control from the High Performance Composite cover.
- Listed in/outdoor, so it works on indoor courts and outdoor asphalt.
Who it's for
This is for anyone running or playing 3×3: secondary school 3×3 tournaments, club 3×3 squads and players who want to train with the game ball. It is not the right pick for standard basketball, where age rather than format sets the ball size. The full line-up of Wilson balls is in the Wilson range.
Sizing guide
The basketball size guide puts size 6 at ages 10 to 14 and size 7 at 15 and over. The FIBA 3×3 ball is a size 6 with size 7 weight, so choose it for 3×3 play rather than by age.
Care, safety and set-up
Check pressure before games and keep the ball out of hot cars and rain. It is rated in/outdoor, but rough asphalt wears any cover faster than an indoor court.
