Wilson Reaction Pro Basketball Indoor / Outdoor Size 5-6-7
A training ball that feels like a game ball, without the price tag — that's the promise of the Wilson Reaction Pro. In sizes 5, 6 and 7, for both indoors and outdoors.
Wilson developed the Reaction Pro with the same expertise the brand uses to make the official NBA and NCAA balls. This ball is positioned as the step toward college-level basketball.
Composite leather with pebble channels and pressure lock
The cover is composite leather with pebble channels: the Wilson and Reaction Pro logos have the same pebble texture, so you always have grip, no matter how you hold the ball. The pressure lock technology holds the air pressure longer, for a more stable ball over a longer period.
An inner bladder that absorbs impacts
Thanks to the inner bladder, this Reaction Pro stays firm, even when it lands on a sharp object. That prevents the uncontrolled bounces you often see with rubber outdoor balls.
Indoors and outdoors, with a little extra care
This ball is suitable for any surface, but the composite cover wears faster on hard asphalt than on a gym floor. Don't leave it lying outside too long after playing — the leather can warp or discolor from exposure to the elements. Store it indoors for a longer lifespan.
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 Reaction Pro 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: 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 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 out some air; if it stays lower, pump in a little more.
This ball often goes home with players who are just starting to train more seriously. At our store in Den Bosch, all three sizes are on the shelves.
For players who have outgrown an entry-level ball but aren’t ready for an expensive game ball yet, this is the in-between step we recommend most often.
You train seriously and want a ball that feels like a game ball.
You play both indoors and outdoors.
You want a ball that holds its air pressure for a long time.
You play size 5, 6 or 7.
Do you often leave the ball outside? Composite leather then needs more maintenance than rubber — choose a pure outdoor ball.

This ball is true to size.
Size 5 is for kids up to about twelve, size 6 for girls from twelve and boys from twelve to fifteen, size 7 the men’s size from fifteen.
If in doubt, come try it in Den Bosch.
Composite leather
Inflate to 0.5-0.6 bar (7-9 PSI).
Don’t leave the ball in the rain or cold after playing outside, and preferably store it indoors.
