Wilson 3x3 Official FIBA Basketball Indoor / Outdoor (6)
A basketball that feels smaller than it weighs — and that’s exactly the point. The Wilson 3x3 Official is the official game ball of FIBA 3x3, in size 6 with the weight of a size 7.
3x3 is the fastest-growing discipline in basketball, with the Olympic Games as its high point. Wilson is the official ball supplier of FIBA 3x3, and so this ball carries the FIBA seal of approval.
Size 6 in circumference, size 7 in weight
In 3x3 you play on one hoop, with lots of dribbling in a small space. A lighter ball would bounce too much, a bigger one is harder to control with one hand. That’s why this ball combines the circumference of a size 6 with the weight of a size 7 — a deliberate spec of its own.
Wave Triple Threat: extra grip points
Wilson’s Wave Triple Threat Technology gives the ball more channels than a regular basketball — good for grip when dribbling, passing and shooting under pressure. Underneath sits a Cushion Core, a softer core that makes the ball feel nicer when you catch it.
Made for the court and the street
The composite cover is built for both surfaces: it keeps its grip on a varnished gym floor and on dusty asphalt. 3x3 is traditionally played mostly outdoors, and with the High Performance Composite Cover, this ball is made for exactly that.
We carry the 3x3 Official in size 6.
The official NBB size chart
The 3x3 has its own spec and comes in one size. If you also play regular five-on-five, the standard sizes of the Dutch Basketball Federation apply. 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 on size 6. And from U18, the regular size simply applies: 7 for men, 6 for women.

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.
We come from the basketball world, and 3x3 is the discipline growing fastest with us. In Den Bosch, we’re happy to put the Official next to the Replica so you can feel the difference.
We sell the Official to players who take 3x3 seriously and want to train with the game ball — in the store we put it next to the Replica so you can feel the difference in weight.
You play 3x3, on the street or in a 3x3 tournament.
You want the ball that real games are played with too.
You dribble a lot in a small space and want extra grip.
You play both on indoor courts and on the street.
Do you just play five-on-five? Then this ball will feel too heavy for its size — choose a regular size 6 or 7.
Looking for a cheaper training ball with the same feel? Then check out the 3x3 Replica.
3x3 has one fixed size, so there’s nothing to choose — the circumference of a size 6 with the weight of a size 7 is fixed.
If you also play regular basketball, check the NBB chart for your age category.
Composite leather
Inflate the ball to 0.5-0.6 bar (7-9 PSI).
Store it dry after playing outside, so the composite cover keeps its shape longer.
