Wtnpfm Kids Youth Basketball Size 5 27.5" White-Pink-Purple Mix, Durable Indoor/Outdoor Rubber for Girls & Boys

Made for young players taking their first steps in basketball, this Size 5 (27.5") Wtnpfm ball combines a grippy, wear-resistant rubber cover with a reinforced butyl bladder to keep air and shape. Its color-forward designs appeal to children while construction choices focus on control, longevity and predictable performance on playgrounds, driveways and gym floors. The ball ships deflated for compact packing and should be inflated to the recommended pressure before play.
