Burned Indoor & Outdoor Basketball LA Glitter Edition Size 5, 6 & 7
Want a basketball that stands out on the local court? Anyone who takes the Burned LA Glitter home chooses it for its looks. We know that, and that’s fine. The question that comes right after in the store is whether it’s also a basketball that lasts.
Yes: under the glitter is the same PU leather construction as under all our indoor-outdoor basketballs, in sizes 5, 6 and 7 for men, women and kids.
Since 2011, Burned has been the basketball specialist in the Netherlands. Our own basketballs are designed from that hands-on experience: functional, durable and made for intensive use.
Glitter built into the cover, not on top
The glitter is built into the Sticky-Grip layer. That way it doesn’t wear off, and after a season outdoors the basketball still looks the way it did when you bought it.
One basketball for the gym and for outdoors
The PU leather is topped with Sticky-Grip, our own cover. It’s slightly rough, so the basketball stays in your hand when your hands are sweaty and keeps its grip on dusty asphalt, where a smooth ball slips away.
That’s the difference from the typical indoor-outdoor basketball in this price range. It’s usually made of rubber: cheap to make, hard in the hand and slippery as soon as it gets dusty. PU leather handles the street better than the soft cover of an indoor basketball, and keeps its grip where rubber loses it.
As an indoor basketball on hardwood and as an outdoor basketball on the court behind the school: both, without writing it off after a month.
Which basketball size do you need?
If you play recreationally, this is the rule of thumb:
- Size 7 — men and boys from around fifteen
- Size 6 — all women and girls, and boys from about twelve to fifteen
- Size 5 — kids up to about twelve
Torn between sizes for a growing player? Go smaller. With a basketball that’s too heavy, a kid learns to shoot from the shoulder instead of the wrist, and that technique is hard to unlearn.
The LA Glitter comes in sizes 5, 6 and 7.
The official NBB size chart
If you play in a league, what counts isn’t your age but your category — and sometimes your level too. This is the table from the Handboek Competities of the Dutch Basketball Federation (NBB), 2025-2026 season. Your age on January 1 determines which category you’re in.
| League play | Ball size | Hoop height |
|---|---|---|
| U8 regional | Size 4 | 2.60 m |
| U10 regional | Size 5 | 2.60 m |
| U12 regional | Size 5 | 2.60 m |
| U12 national | Size 6 | 2.60 m |
| U14 regional and national | Size 6 | 3.05 m |
| Men’s U16 regional and national | Size 7 | 3.05 m |
| Women’s U16 regional and national | Size 6 | 3.05 m |
Three things stand out. U12 depends on level, not age: at regional level you play with size 5, at national level with size 6. U16 splits by gender — men move up to size 7, women stay with size 6. And from U18, the regular size simply applies: 7 for men, 6 for women.
Does your kid play U8? Then the NBB prescribes size 4. We don’t carry that size — our basketballs start at size 5. For home and the local court, size 5 is fine, but for U8 league play you need size 4.

Who this basketball is less suited for
If you play league games indoors every week, a real indoor basketball feels better — softer, with more feel in your fingers. For that, we have the Burned Flare, the Ember and the Ignite.
Pressure check
The right pressure is 0.5 to 0.6 bar (7 to 9 PSI). At the right pressure, every ball bounces the same, and that does more for your training than any drill.
No pressure gauge? Use the bounce test: hold the ball straight out beside you at shoulder height and drop it. If it bounces back to about your hip, the pressure is right. If it comes up higher, let some air out; if it stays lower, pump in a bit more.

Go for size 7 for men from about age fifteen, size 6 for all women and for youth ages twelve to fifteen, size 5 below that.
In league play, the NBB age group determines your size.
In Den Bosch, you can hold it before you choose.
PU leather • Sticky-Grip
Inflate to 0.5 to 0.6 bar and check the pressure at the start of every season.
Wipe it down with a damp cloth; abrasive cleaner dulls the shine.
