Description
Overview
The Molten BCR Rubber Basketball is Molten's two-tone blue and black rubber ball for youth camps, recreational play and training. Its distinct design is there for visibility, helping players focus on the movement of the ball in a busy gym or on an outdoor court.
Rated for indoor and outdoor use, it is a knockabout training ball rather than an indoor match ball. Inventory lists this ball as a size 6; the smaller Molten BCR Rubber Basketball Black/Green – Size 5 covers the 7 to 9 year band, and you can compare both in the basketballs category.
Key benefits
- Use it on asphalt or indoors: rated for in/outdoor play.
- Distinct two-tone design keeps the ball easy to see during drills.
- Rubber cover suits youth camps and repeated recreational use.
- Covers the 10 to 14 year band as a size 6 on the basketball sizing guide.
Who it's for
Intermediate and junior secondary PE classes, holiday and youth camps, and club juniors in the 10 to 14 year band who need a ball that survives outdoor courts. Players 15 and over take a size 7.
Keep it for training and recreational games. Teams playing indoor competition will want a match-spec ball, and younger players are better served by the size 5 sibling.
Sizing guide
The basketball sizing guide gives size 3 for under 7 years, size 5 for 7 to 9 years, size 6 for 10 to 14 years and size 7 for 15 years and over. This listing is recorded as a size 6.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe grit off the rubber cover after outdoor sessions and check pressure before use so the ball bounces consistently. Store it away from direct heat between camps and classes.
