Wilson WNBA Tackskin Eco Cover In/Outdoor Basketball (6)
Looking for grip without sacrificing sustainability? The Wilson WNBA Tackskin Eco Cover is an indoor/outdoor basketball in size 6, with a cover made partly from recycled rubber.
Wilson is the official ball of the WNBA. This Eco Cover edition combines that look with a cover made of at least 30% recycled rubber.
Deep Channels and Air Retention
The TACKSKIN Eco Cover has Deep Channels between the panels: deeper channels give more grip points than a smooth ball, which helps with dribbling and shooting. The Air Retention technology keeps the ball at the right pressure longer, so you don't have to pump it up as often.
Indoors and outdoors, thanks to the rubber base
Because the cover is rubber-based, this ball can handle both the gym floor and the street. Rubber is less sensitive to wind and weather than composite leather, which makes it practical for anyone who doesn't always play on the same surface.
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 Tackskin Eco Cover 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.
