NCAA Evo Nxt Replica Indoor / Outdoor Basketball Size 7 Men's PU Leather
In the store, customers sometimes ask about “that ball from American college basketball” — usually this is the one they mean. The Wilson NCAA Evo NXT Replica carries the official NCAA logo and is made for both the gym and the street, in size 7.
Wilson supplies not only the NBA's balls, but also those of dozens of NCAA competitions — American college basketball. This Replica is the affordable way into that line: the same look, with the official logo of the National Collegiate Athletic Association on it.
Composite leather that can take a beating
The outer layer is composite leather (P.U.), a material that wears less quickly than pure leather once you play outside on asphalt, yet stays soft enough for the gym floor.
Under that outer layer sits a bladder. That's unusual for a ball that can also go outside — most outdoor balls don't have one — and that bladder adds extra sturdiness when the ball lands on something sharp, with a steadier bounce than you're used to from a rubber ball.
Indoors and outdoors, with one caveat
This ball is made for both surfaces, but composite leather is sensitive to the elements. After a game outside, don't leave it in the rain or the cold — the leather can warp or discolor. Store it indoors and it will last you the longest.
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 NCAA Evo NXT Replica in size 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: 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.
