Wilson March Madness Gold Comp Basketball (7)
A ball that stands out for its color, and lasts thanks to its material — that's the Wilson March Madness Gold Comp, an indoor basketball in size 7.
March Madness is the nickname of the NCAA tournament, the annual highlight of American college basketball. This Gold Comp carries that name and the matching gold-colored design.
Composite leather with deep channels
The outer layer is high-quality composite leather, built for a stable shape and a predictable flight. Between the panels are deep channels that give extra grip points when dribbling and shooting, similar to the other composite balls in the Wilson line.
Why this ball stays indoors
Composite leather is made for a varnished gym floor. On asphalt or concrete, the outer layer gets worn smooth within a few games, and then you lose exactly the grip you bought it for. If you play on an outdoor court, choose a rubber ball.
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.
We carry the March Madness Gold Comp in size 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 1 January 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: regionally you play with a size 5, nationally with 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.

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 improves your training more 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 out some air; if it stays lower, pump in a little more.
