Baden: common questions

What basketball size does each age group use? Size 3 (mini) for ages 5 to 8, size 5 for ages 9 to 11, size 6 for girls 12 and up and boys 12 to 14, and size 7 as the full men's regulation ball from age 15.

Rubber or composite basketball? Rubber balls like the Baden Zone are the correct choice for outdoor courts and school halls — they survive rough surfaces and need no breaking in. Composite leather balls grip better but wear quickly outdoors.

What is a soft feel volleyball? A softer, lighter-covered ball designed so beginners can play forearm passes without stinging the arms — which is why it is the standard school volleyball. Compare with the Molten range for club and competition balls.
