Sharpen shooting form and touch with the Baden Official Skilcoach Shooter's Ball. This training basketball is designed to reinforce proper hand placement and a soft, controlled release, helping players groove a repeatable shooting stroke rep after rep. Its durable rubber cover stands up to constant use on the gym floor or driveway, making it an ideal tool for individual workouts, shooting stations, and skill-development sessions.

Key features & specs

• Cover: Durable rubber for reliable all-surface training use
• Purpose: Built to develop shooting form, hand placement, and a soft release
• Use: Individual shooting drills, form work, and skill stations
• Feel: Consistent surface that reinforces repeatable technique
• Durability: Rugged construction for high-rep workouts

Coach's tip: Pair it with close-range form shooting before extending range so players lock in mechanics first. Wipe the cover clean after use and store at proper inflation; the rubber cover holds up to both indoor and outdoor training.

Build stronger, more controlled ball handling with the Baden Official Skilcoach Heavy Trainer. This weighted training basketball is heavier than a regulation ball, so every dribble, pass, and rep demands more strength and precise technique. When players return to a standard ball, it feels lighter and easier to control — a proven way to develop hand strength, finger-tip control, and passing power in your program.

Key features & specs

• Cover: Durable rubber built for high-volume gym and all-surface training
• Design: Weighted heavier than a regulation ball to overload strength and control
• Trains: Hand and forearm strength, fingertip control, and passing power
• Use: Dribbling, passing, and ball-handling drills for all levels
• Construction: Rugged build that stands up to daily practice reps

Coach's tip: Work handling drills with the heavy trainer, then immediately repeat them with a game ball so players feel the difference. Wipe the cover clean after use and store at proper inflation; the rubber cover handles both indoor and outdoor training.

Keep the throws circle organized and safe with the Gill Soft Shot Stop. These foam-filled barriers ring the landing sector to stop shots, discuses, and hammers from rolling out of the marked area — speeding up implement retrieval and protecting athletes and officials working the field.

Key features & specs:

• Prevents implements from rolling past the throw sector
• Shock-absorbing foam-filled barriers wrapped in customizable 19oz vinyl
• Non-slip material on the bottom creates traction to keep barriers in place
• Hook-and-loop straps link barriers together so they function as one unit
• Each barrier measures 6' L x 23" W x 23" H
• Available in 14 colors with optional custom graphics
• Sector coverage scales by length (e.g., 16m/52' uses 6 units; 24m/79' uses 9)

Coach's tip: Match the number of units to your sector length using the coverage chart so there are no gaps at the edges. Wipe the vinyl clean, let barriers dry, and store indoors to protect the foam and finish between meets.

Keep your bases anchored, level, and safe with the Porter Gill Ground Anchor Set. Loose or worn base anchors are a real injury risk and a constant maintenance headache; this three-anchor set restores a secure, standardized hold for Major League brand bases so they seat flat and stay put through every slide. It's essential infield hardware for any program maintaining its own diamond.

Key features & specs

• Set of three ground anchors to outfit first, second, and third base in a single order
• Designed for Major League brand bases for a correct, standardized fit
• Secure below-grade hold keeps bases seated flat and stable through repeated slides and play
• Compatible with stake plugs (sold separately) that extend anchor life by keeping out dirt and moisture when bases are removed
• Durable in-ground construction built for permanent infield installation

Coach's tip: add a matching set of stake plugs to cap the anchors whenever bases come off — it keeps grit and water out and dramatically extends anchor life. Set anchors at correct base-path spacing and flush to grade so bases sit level, and check them each preseason for wear or shifting before play begins.

The Spalding TF Basketball Notebook is a coach's best friend for game planning, play diagramming, and keeping player notes all in one organized place. At a full 8.5" x 11", it gives you room to sketch full-court and half-court sets, chart rotations, log scouting observations, and map out practice plans without cramping everything onto a scrap of paper. From the preseason install to the postseason run, it keeps your program's thinking in one durable book you can flip back through anytime.

Key features & specs:

• Full 8.5" x 11" page size for detailed diagrams and notes
• Designed for play design, scouting, and practice planning
• Keeps game plans and player notes organized in one place
• Ample space for full-court and half-court sets
• Durable cover holds up to a full season in the coach's bag
• Backed by the trusted Spalding basketball name

Coach's tip: Dedicate the front of the notebook to your season install and the back to opponent scouting so you can flip to either fast during a timeout. Care: Store it flat in your coaching bag to keep pages from curling, and keep a backup pen clipped inside the cover.

The Spalding TF Official On-Court Ball Truck is the premium game-day ball management solution trusted by top programs nationwide. Holding a full team's worth of basketballs, it rolls balls right to the scorer's table, the tunnel, or warmups and keeps them organized, secure, and off the floor. The heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame and angled design mean balls stay put during transport and roll out easily when it's time to play — a professional touch that keeps game operations running smoothly.

Key features & specs:

• Holds up to 18 full-size basketballs
• Heavy-duty powder-coated steel tubing frame (gray finish)
• Locking swivel casters for smooth, controlled transport
• Non-topple base keeps the loaded truck stable
• Angled rails for easy ball loading and retrieval
• Designed for indoor court use

Coach's tip: Lock the swivel casters once the truck is positioned courtside so it doesn't drift during warmups or a timeout scramble. Care: Wipe down the frame to keep the finish clean, and keep the casters free of debris so they roll and lock smoothly all season.

The Spalding Back-Atcha Ball Return turns a lonely gym into a full shooting workout by bouncing the ball right back to the shooter after every attempt. Designed for repetitive free throw and perimeter shooting, it returns the basketball anywhere within a 90-degree arc, keeping the ball on the court and in your hands so you can rack up makes instead of chasing rebounds. It installs on most home and residential rims in minutes with no tools, making it a favorite for players putting in extra reps on their own.

Key features & specs:

• Returns the basketball anywhere in a 90° arc
• Durable molded plastic construction, about 2.5 lbs
• Fits most home and residential basketball rims
• No tools required — installs in minutes
• Improves free throw and perimeter shooting reps
• Keeps the ball on the court to cut down on chasing

Coach's tip: Position yourself at the top of the 90° arc for the most consistent returns, and use it for timed free-throw sets to build rhythm. Care: Remove it during heavy weather on outdoor rims and check the attachment periodically to keep returns accurate.

The Spalding Ball Return keeps solo and small-group shooting practice moving by sending the ball back after every made shot — no rebounder, no chasing, no wasted reps. Attaching to any standard basketball goal, it channels made and missed shots back toward the shooter so players get more quality repetitions in less time. For coaches trying to maximize a crowded gym or a player getting up shots alone, it turns dead time spent fetching the ball into extra reps on the court.

Key features & specs:

• Returns the ball to the shooter after each shot
• Attaches to any standard basketball goal
• Maximizes shooting repetitions in solo or small-group work
• Eliminates chasing loose balls and resetting between shots
• Durable construction built for repeated everyday use
• High-visibility yellow for easy setup and alignment

Coach's tip: Pair it with a shot chart or a set rep count per spot so players track makes and stay accountable during solo sessions. Care: Check the mounting straps and hardware periodically for wear, and remove it from outdoor rims during harsh weather to extend its life.

The Spalding Dribble Goggles are a proven ball-handling training aid that forces players to keep their eyes up and develop true feel for the basketball. By blocking the downward line of sight to the ball, the goggles take away the crutch of looking down while dribbling — so players learn to control the ball by touch, read the floor, and see teammates, defenders, and driving lanes. It's one of the most effective, low-cost tools a coach can add to individual and team ball-handling drills.

Key features & specs:

• Blocks downward vision to build control by feel, not sight
• Develops court awareness and heads-up ball handling
• Adjustable elastic strap fits most athletes, youth to adult
• Lightweight, durable plastic construction
• Works for indoor and outdoor training sessions
• An official training aid trusted by coaches at every level

Coach's tip: Start players stationary with two-ball pound dribbles before adding movement, then progress to cone and full-court drills as their comfort grows. Care: Wipe the frame clean after use and store in a gear bag; adjust the strap to each player rather than forcing a tight fit.

The Spalding Ball Tune Up Kit keeps every ball in your program performing like new all season long. Basketballs lose pressure over time and pick up grime that dulls their grip — and this all-in-one kit gives coaches and equipment managers the essentials to keep balls inflated to spec and ready for game day. Instead of tracking down a pump here and a gauge there, you have one organized kit in the equipment room that anyone on staff can grab before practice or a game.

Key features & specs:

• All-in-one kit for routine basketball maintenance
• Everything needed to keep balls at correct game pressure
• Convenient, organized storage in a single package
• Great for teams, gyms, camps, and multi-court facilities
• Helps extend the usable life of your ball inventory
• Backed by the trusted Spalding name

Coach's tip: Set a weekly reminder to check and top off ball pressure — consistent PSI protects both shooting feel and the ball's long-term shape. Care: Keep the kit stocked and in a consistent spot so staff always know where to find it, and moisten needles before inserting to protect the valves.

The Spalding Mesh Equipment Bag is the simple, breathable way to haul and store a full complement of basketballs and practice gear. The open mesh construction lets air circulate freely, so damp balls, pinnies, and gear dry out instead of trapping moisture and odor between sessions — a real advantage for programs that share space or store equipment in a hot closet. Lightweight and easy to sling over a shoulder, it makes moving gear from the equipment room to the court a one-trip job.

Key features & specs:

• Breathable mesh construction promotes airflow and drying
• Lightweight design is easy to carry loaded or empty
• Roomy capacity holds multiple full-size basketballs and gear
• Ideal for balls, pinnies, cones, and everyday practice equipment
• Helps prevent trapped moisture and odor during storage
• Trusted Spalding durability for daily team use

Coach's tip: Store the bag on a hook rather than the floor so air circulates all the way around and gear dries faster overnight. Care: Rinse and air dry the mesh if it gets muddy, and avoid overloading past a comfortable carry to protect the seams and drawstring.

The Spalding Ball Pressure Kit is the complete inflation and maintenance solution that keeps every ball in your program at game-ready pressure. Under-inflated basketballs dribble dead and shoot short; over-inflated balls bounce unpredictably — and this kit gives coaches, managers, and officials everything they need to hit the correct PSI every time. The dual-action pump moves air on both the push and the pull for fast inflation, while the included gauge takes the guesswork out of getting each ball dialed in before tip-off.

Key features & specs:

• Includes a 6" dual-action hand pump for fast inflation
• Comes with 3 inflating needles for backups and shared use
• Pressure gauge ensures every ball hits the correct PSI
• Works on basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, and more
• Compact kit fits easily in a coach's or manager's bag
• Trusted Spalding quality for reliable everyday use

Coach's tip: Moisten each needle with a drop of water or saliva before inserting to protect the valve from tearing. Care: Store needles in the kit so they don't bend or get lost, and check the gauge against a known-good ball at the start of each season.

The Spalding Official On-Court Basketball Net is the reliable, no-nonsense replacement net every gym and outdoor court runs through. Built to the standard 12-loop configuration, it hangs correctly on any regulation rim and gives players and referees the crisp, clean "swish" that confirms a made basket. The bright white nylon reads clearly from the stands and the scorer's table, making it a smart, low-cost way to keep your hoops looking sharp and game-ready all season.

Key features & specs:

• Standard 12-loop design fits all regulation basketball rims
• Durable white nylon construction for indoor or outdoor use
• Crisp appearance and clean ball action off every made shot
• High-visibility white for clear sightlines from the stands
• Easy, tool-free installation on standard hooks
• Trusted Spalding quality at a replacement-friendly price

Coach's tip: Keep a couple of spares in the equipment room so a frayed or missing net never delays a game or practice. Care: Inspect the loops periodically for wear and replace once the nylon starts to fray; outdoor nets will weather faster than indoor ones.

Carry the game with you behind the plate. The Cliff Keen U49 Umpires Ball Bag is the standard solution for plate and base umpires who need spare baseballs, lineup cards, and game-management supplies within instant reach. Durable construction and a secure attachment keep the bag riding in position through a full game of squatting, hustling, and rotating — so you are always ready for the next pitch.

Key features & specs:

• Standard-capacity ball bag for plate and base umpires
• Holds spare baseballs plus lineup cards and small supplies
• Secure belt attachment keeps the bag in place during active play
• Durable, abrasion-resistant construction for season-long use
• Open-top design for quick, one-handed ball retrieval
• Trusted Cliff Keen officiating quality

Coach's tip: Wear two bags — one on each hip — to separate game balls from used or scuffed balls and speed up your rotation. Empty and air out the bag after each game, and brush off infield dirt to keep the fabric clean and the closures working smoothly.
