Wilson 3x3 Replica FIBA Basketball Outdoor (6)
Want the feel of the official 3x3 ball, but for the practice court? The Wilson 3x3 Replica is the affordable version of the 3x3 Official, in the same size 6 with the weight of a size 7.
3x3 was first played at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in 2010 and then grew into a FIBA discipline of its own, with the Olympic Games as its high point. Wilson is the official ball supplier of FIBA 3x3.
Same spec, a rubber cover
This Replica also combines the circumference of a size 6 with the weight of a size 7, with the same Wave Triple Threat channels as the Official for grip when dribbling and shooting. The difference is in the cover: here it’s rubber with a pebbled texture instead of composite, with a Cushion Core that gives a softer feel.
A practice ball, not a game ball
Rubber is cheaper to make than a composite cover, which makes this Replica a lot more affordable. For practice and street play, that’s no drawback; for official FIBA 3x3 games, the Official is the ball you need.
Made for the street
The pebbled rubber channels are made for grip on dusty asphalt, where 3x3 was originally played. Want to use it indoors too? That works fine; on a gym floor this ball performs just as well.
We carry the 3x3 Replica 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.

You’re looking for an affordable way into the 3x3 specification.
You dribble a lot in tight spaces and want extra grip.
Do you play official FIBA 3x3 games? Then the 3x3 Official is the required ball.

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.
