The Rookie Gear ball is the official basketball of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association's (NWBA) Junior Prep Division for youth 5 - 12 years old with a primary physical disability. Not sure why you changed the materials of the Rookie Gear Composite Cover Basketball (SPA0090). Losing that 10% of weight is immense for the youth that I coach and those others in our NWBA Jr Prep Division. It might not seem like much to a non-coach, but it truly is. I would rather pay more for the same ball than to see cheaper materials being used. It may affect our organizations use of the Rookie Gear ball as now the weight difference. Research was even completed by a member of our Hall of Fame; Dr. Robert Szyman with data showing the success of implementation of your basketball's use for our youngest athletes. I just received ten basketballs from our distributor (they sent me the rubber SPA0091, and I am wondering if it is worth getting the SPA0090 in exchange). Please go back to the original materials of the Rookie Gear Ball.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2023-07-26</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2023-07-26" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="247209193"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">lacey</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Happy Daughter!

They say 8 and under based on it being a size 5, 27.5&quot; ball. It is composite leather which just means specialized rubber grip. They claim to have a special bladder / valve to keep air pressure which does seem accurate. However you will need a ball pump as mine shipped quite deflated. The shipping was prompt and the service in store when I made the online order was good. Was not available at my local store. There are not many balls for this age range that are both indoor and outdoor designed and this one has a great feel to it. My son loves the ball, the colours are bright, but most importantly it helps his dribbling and handling of the ball with the high quality design to it. If you are looking for a ball for a 3 year old it's a bit big. My son has a franklin mini from last spring that I acquired at toys r us and while it was suitable for age 3 and a good starter ball if your child really likes basketball this should provide a lot of value in the long term. I'd recommend washing the ball after use and monitor the air pressure so you have good play sessions with your child. Toys r us continues to be a great source of sports equipment for children, highly recommend.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2017-05-29</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2017-05-29" /> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection')) { document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection').style.display = 'none'; } </script> <!--end-reviews--> <ul id="BVSEO_meta" style="display:none!important"> <li data-bvseo="bvDateModified">y_2024, m_3, d_27, h_9</li> <li data-bvseo="ps">bvseo_bulk, prod_bvrr, vn_bulk_3.0.38</li> <li data-bvseo="cp">cp_1, bvpage1</li> <li data-bvseo="co">co_hasreviews, tv_5, tr_5</li> <li data-bvseo="cf">loc_en_CA, sid_3FB6086E, prod, sort_[SortEntry(order=SUBMISSION_TIME, direction=DESCENDING)]</li> <li data-bvseo="diagnostics">clientName_toysrus-ca</li> </ul> <!--end-bvseo-reviews--> <ul id="BVSEOSDK_meta" style="display: none !important;"> <li data-bvseo="sdk">bvseo_sdk, dw_cartridge, 18.2.0, p_sdk_3.2.0</li> <li data-bvseo="sp_mt">CLOUD, getReviews, 6ms</li> <li data-bvseo="ct_st">reviews, product</li> </ul>
