Amazon.com Product Description
 Teach your kids to dribble and shoot hoops from an early age with this Spalding mini NBA game ball. The ball feels just like a full-size NBA game ball, with a premium outdoor cover that provides a superior grip with every dribble. The ball also bounces better thanks to the Cross Traxxion two-panel construction. The panels result in 1/3 fewer channels, decreasing the surface undulation and helping the ball bounce truer and more consistent. And kids will love the official NBA game ball series graphics, which make the mini ball look just like the real thing. About Spalding

 Bigger than I thought June 14, 2010

Bigger than what I thought, but my fault. Good quality though and based on that I give it a four. Could be perfect for a mini hoop or a little mans ball.
Great Product For Children 3 Years And Up! May 12, 2010
Small Wonders Preschool (Marion, Iowa, US)
I am a Preschool Teacher and we have a Fisher Price Hoop as one of the outdoor toys. The ball it came with always catches the wind and makes it impossible to really aim and shoot well. These Spalding Basketball's are not only the correct size for little hands, but they are EXACTLY like the adult ones. They can dribble, aim and shoot without the wind making any difference. So when they shoot they have a bigger chance of success of getting it in the hoop. They can actually "learn" the skills needed to shoot baskets rather than just random shooting and hoping it goes in. I give this product 5 STARS and the HIGHEST praise...so much so I even bought more than one. Buy with confidence as you won't be disappointed! Cindy W.

It looks, bounces and feels like the real thing. I haven't taken it outdoors and probably won't because it looks too good to have ruined. We bought our toddler a Skilz basketball hoop and he'll use the ball on that once he's older.

Just right for a "tyke" that wants to play with a "real" basketball. This ball works with the small kiddie goals though it is heavier than the plastic balls that come with them so it would work best for 3 years and up (or talented future pro players).
Great little ball for kids! December 30, 2009
Michael D. Adams (Jeffersonville, IN USA)
Recently, the inflatable "basketball" that came with my son's "Grow-to-Pro Basketball" goal decided it would no longer hold air. This goal, which is similar to the "Just Like the Pros Basketball Set" is perfect for a 5-year old who wants to "shoot hoops" but can not quite use a real goal yet.
In looking for a replacement mini-ball, so many were "cheapo" rubber that didn't look like they'd last. Plus, he wanted a ball that was just like dad's official NBA ball. Well, after finding this I looked no further! The price was great, and with Amazon's free super-saver shipping, even better! When I got the ball, it did need some airing up, but once that was done it felt just like my ball and handled great! My son was as happy as any kid could be at the moment. This ball is very durable - made just like the official ball. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and should stand up to years of use and abuse.
So for anyone looking for a mini ball, I'd recommend this one. And for parents looking to replace a ball for one of these kid-specific goals, this ball will NOT kill the goal. It's perfect!
Game on!
