The Perfect Ball for Young Players
When kids are learning the game, the right basketball can make all the difference. The Wilson NCAA Legend Junior Basketball (27.5″) is specifically designed for younger players (ages 8-11), making it easier to grip, dribble, and shoot than larger basketballs. If a full-size (29.5″) or even intermediate (28.5″) ball feels too big, this junior-sized option allows kids to develop proper shooting form, passing techniques, and dribbling skills with ease.
Durable Composite Cover – Play Anywhere
Whether practice is in the gym or at the park, the NCAA Legend is built to handle it all. The performance composite cover is soft enough for indoor play yet durable enough for outdoor courts, making it a versatile choice for any setting. Parents and coaches love it because it maintains its grip and feel over time—so you’re not replacing a worn-out ball every few months.
Deep Channels for Maximum Grip & Control
Young players need a basketball that feels secure in their hands, and the NCAA Legend’s deep channel design improves grip and ball control. This helps kids learn proper dribbling techniques, execute accurate passes, and develop a consistent shooting touch. Whether they’re practicing free throws or working on their crossover, this ball builds confidence with every play.
Cushioned Core for a Softer Feel
Unlike rubber basketballs that can feel stiff and tough to control, the Wilson NCAA Legend offers a softer, more responsive touch. This reduces hand strain and makes shooting, passing, and dribbling feel more natural and controlled. Plus, the cushioned core allows for smoother bounces and a more controlled shot release, making it ideal for players just starting out.
Consistent Bounce for Reliable Play
Nothing ruins a practice session faster than a ball that doesn’t bounce consistently. The NCAA Legend Junior Basketball is designed for precision, ensuring a true, even bounce so players can focus on improving their game rather than adjusting to an unpredictable ball.
Official Junior Size for Youth Basketball
At 27.5 inches, the Wilson NCAA Legend Junior Basketball is the official size for youth leagues and young beginners. If you’re looking for a game-quality ball that helps kids develop proper fundamentals, this is the perfect option.
