Burned Indoor & Outdoor Basketball Pink Glitter Edition Size 5, 6 & 7
Looking for a basketball that stands out on the court? The Burned Pink Glitter is colorful and proudly pink with glitter, and it's for everyone: an indoor-outdoor basketball in sizes 5, 6 and 7.
Since 2011, Burned has been the basketball specialist in the Netherlands. Our own basketballs were designed from that hands-on experience: functional, durable and made for heavy use.
Pink and purple, with glitter built into the cover
The color of the Pink Glitter sits somewhere in between, pink with purple, and the glitter is worked into the Sticky-Grip layer instead of stuck on top. That way it doesn't wear off, and after a season of playing outside the basketball still looks like the day you bought it.
One basketball for the gym and for outdoors
On the PU leather sits Sticky-Grip, our own cover. It's slightly rough, so the basketball stays in your hand when your hands sweat, and it keeps its grip on dusty asphalt, where a smooth ball slips away.
That's the difference from the usual 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 holds up to the street better than the soft cover of an indoor basketball, and it 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 having to write it off after a month.
What size basketball 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 Pink Glitter comes in sizes 5, 6 and 7.
For women and girls, size 6 is usually the right choice — it's also the size used in league play.
The official NBB size chart
If you play in a league, what counts is not your age but your category — and sometimes your level too. This is the table from the Handboek Competities of the Nederlandse Basketball Bond (Dutch Basketball Federation), season 2025-2026. 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 the level, not on age: regional play uses a size 5, national play a size 6. U16 splits by gender — men move up to size 7, women stay at 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 a size 4. We don't carry that size — our basketballs start at size 5. For home and the local court, a size 5 is fine, but for U8 league play you need a size 4.

Who this basketball is less suited for
If you play league games indoors every week, a proper indoor basketball is the better pick — 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 right beside you at shoulder height and let it drop. 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.

In the store, people always ask if the glitter comes off. It’s built into the cover itself, so that doesn’t happen.
Do you play on a local court where everyone has the same orange ball?
Do you play indoors during the week and outdoors on the weekend?
Are you just starting out and looking for your own ball in size 5?
Want size 7, the men’s size, in this color?
Do you play games on hardwood? A microfiber indoor ball like the Burned Flare gives more grip there.
Want a ball that doesn’t play with the light? Then choose the Burned Ember in classic brown-orange.
Go for size 7 if you’re a man older than about fifteen, size 6 if you’re a woman or between twelve and fifteen, and size 5 below that.
In NBB league play, your age group determines the size.
You can try it: stop by in Den Bosch.
