Burned Ignite Official Indoor Game Basketball Size 5, 6 & 7
When someone in the store asks what the difference is between our three indoor basketballs, it comes down to this: the Burned Ignite is the basketball you play with when it counts. Korean microfiber, the most expensive cover there is in this category.
It comes in sizes 5, 6 and 7, so for men, women and kids who play basketball at a serious level.
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.
What that microfiber cover does
Korean microfiber is more deeply pebbled and has more grip than the usual kind. The basketball sticks lightly to your hand from the very first practice — no break-in period needed.
Why you notice it
On a shot under pressure, with sweaty hands in the fourth quarter, the difference between grip and almost-grip is the difference between scoring and missing. Microfiber absorbs that sweat, so it stays dry and keeps a good grip. That's what you're paying for.
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 Ignite comes in sizes 5, 6 and 7.
The official NBB size chart
If you play in a league, it's not your age that counts but your category — and sometimes your level too. This is the table from the Handboek Competities of the Dutch Basketball Federation, season 2025-2026. Your age on 1 January determines which category you fall into.
| 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 indoor basketball is less suited for
This basketball belongs on an indoor court; outside, the microfiber wears out quickly. If you play recreationally once a week, the Flare or the Ember is more than enough — the difference is real, and it's small. If you mostly play outside, choose one of our indoor-outdoor basketballs.
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 makes your training better than any drill will.
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 little more.

It sits next to the Ember and the Flare in Den Bosch, so you can feel the difference before you pay.
When someone asks us which of our three indoor balls they should get, we point to this one for when it counts.
Do you play in a league and want the same grip every game?
Do you practice in the gym several times a week?
Do your hands get clammy in the second half?
Do you mostly play outdoors on concrete? Microfiber wears quickly there; choose one of our indoor-outdoor balls.
Looking for a ball that stands out? The Black Gold or the Tiger Edition gets noticed more.
Follow the NBB chart: through U12 regional, size 5; from U12 national and throughout U14, size 6; from U16, size 7 for men and size 6 for women.
Don’t play in a league? Then age is the rule of thumb.
Not sure? Come try it in Den Bosch.
Microfiber
Inflate to 0.5 to 0.6 bar and keep it there.
Only use it on the gym floor and wipe it dry after practice.
Water and soap damage the microfiber.
