Description
Overview
The Molten BCR Rubber Basketball Black/Green – Size 5 is Molten's rubber-covered junior ball, the size 5 that the basketball size guide matches to 7 to 9 year olds. Its eight-panel design and rubber surface are made for the knocks of playground and school hall use, and the listing marks it for indoor and outdoor play.
When your players move up in age, the Molten range covers larger sizes and match-grade balls.
Key benefits
- Rubber surface handles asphalt and hall floors, so one ball does both.
- Eight-panel Molten design with defined seams for young hands.
- Butyl bladder inside for everyday training use.
- Black and green two-tone colour is easy to spot in a shared gear shed.
Who it's for
Choose size 5 for primary school students around 7 to 9 years, junior club minis and after-school programmes. It is a recreational and training ball, not a competition ball. Coaches equipping a whole team can request a quote for quantity pricing.
