FAQ
Official basketballs are commonly made with leather, composite leather or rubber covers. Leather is traditionally used indoors, composite materials offer a consistent feel across settings, and rubber covers are built for outdoor play.
Some official basketballs are made specifically for indoor courts, while others are designed for outdoor surfaces. Check the product description for its intended court type before choosing a ball.
Wipe the ball with a soft, slightly damp cloth after playing, then let it air-dry completely. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking the ball and storing it in extreme heat.
Keep the cover free of dust and moisture, and use the ball only on the court surface recommended by the manufacturer. A clean, dry cover helps maintain its intended touch during play.
Look for the manufacturer’s branding, league or governing-body marks and information about the ball’s intended use. These details can help confirm whether the ball is made for organized competition or recreational play.
