Wilson WNBA Authentic In/Outdoor Basketball (6)
Delivering top performance, whether it's on the court or in the gym — that's the promise of the Wilson WNBA Authentic In/Outdoor, in size 6.
Wilson is the official ball of the WNBA. This Authentic edition features the official WNBA design and the same materials as the balls from the game line.
Pure Feel Cover made of composite leather
The cover is 100% composite leather with a Pure Feel Cover: laid-in channels add extra grip points across the whole ball, for a premium feel and a soft touch. The Ever Bounce Construction ensures a consistent bounce, and the Pebbled Channels add extra grip and accuracy when dribbling and shooting.
Indoors and outdoors, with a little extra care
Composite leather is suitable for both the gym floor and the street, but it's more sensitive to the elements than rubber. After playing outside, don't leave the ball lying in the rain; that way it will last 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 WNBA Authentic In/Outdoor in size 6.
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.
