We like this basketball for kids 8 and under:
- It is a “Rookie Gear” ball that is 25% lighter than other basketballs.
- Size 5 (27.5″ Youth). (Adult women’s balls are 28.5″ in diameter so this is smaller than that). There are other Spalding Size 5 balls that are not Rookie Gear. (We have one of those too and it is good too).
