Description
Overview
Size 6 is the in-between basketball: too big for young primary students, a touch smaller than the full size 7 seniors use. The Molten B6CR Rubber Basketball Blue/Black Size 6 fills that gap with a durable rubber surface, an eight-panel Molten design and a butyl bladder, and it is listed for both indoor and outdoor courts.
It is a training and recreational ball. For match balls and other sizes, see the full Molten range.
Key benefits
- One ball for the hall and the outdoor court, thanks to the rubber surface.
- Eight-panel design in Molten's familiar layout.
- Butyl bladder inside for regular class use.
- Blue and black two-tone finish makes stray balls easy to spot.
Who it's for
Intermediate and junior secondary PE classes, and club teams in the 10 to 14 year band. It also suits families wanting a driveway ball with a rubber cover. Buying a class set? Quantity pricing applies, and schools can look at funding packages for a fit-out.
Sizing guide
Size guide: size 6 for 10 to 14 years. Younger players 7 to 9 years take size 5, under 7 years size 3, and players 15 years and over move to size 7.
Care, safety and set-up
Store inflated and out of the weather between sessions, and check pressure at the start of each term. Rinse grit off the rubber after outdoor play.
