Cover and feel
For a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic covers are the way to go. Polyurethane gives the soft touch players want on smooth indoor floors.
Approval
If you play club or competition, a FIBA-approved ball matches what you will use on game day. Several of our indoor balls carry FIBA approval.
Grip design
Channels and a textured cover make the ball easier to handle on fast breaks. Advanced balls add microfibre for extra control.

Caring for an indoor ball
- Inflate to the pressure marked on the ball, using a pump with a gauge if you can.
- Keep your indoor ball for indoor courts, as rough surfaces wear a soft cover faster.
- Wipe the cover with a slightly damp cloth to keep its grip.
- Store it at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an indoor and outdoor basketball?
It mostly comes down to the cover. Rubber is the most durable, which suits outdoor courts, while leather and synthetic covers give a better feel on indoor floors. Our indoor-focused balls use polyurethane for that softer touch.
Can I take my indoor basketball outside?
Many of our polyurethane balls are rated for indoor and outdoor use, so the occasional outdoor session is fine. Regular play on bitumen will wear the cover faster, though. If you play outside often, a rubber ball is the better partner.
Do I need a FIBA-approved ball?
If you play club or representative basketball, a FIBA-approved ball means you train with the same standard you compete with. For casual indoor games, any good polyurethane ball will do the job. Several of our BT500 and BT900 balls carry FIBA approval.
What pressure should an indoor basketball be?
Always check the pressure marked on the ball by the manufacturer. For our Tarmak balls, we recommend 0.62 bar. A pump with a pressure gauge makes it easy to hit the mark every time.
Which size indoor basketball should I buy?
Size 7 for men and boys 13 and up, size 6 for women, girls 11 and up and boys aged 11 to 12, and size 5 for kids aged 7 to 10. Using the right size improves control and shooting mechanics.
