Spalding

The Spalding TF-5000 is a competition-grade soccer ball built for high school and club play. Its hand-stitched tournament composite cover delivers a premium, uniform feel and dependable flight, while a latex rubber bladder gives players the soft foot-touch and responsive playability that separate a real match ball from a practice ball. NFHS-approved in official size and weight, the TF-5000 is a reliable game-day choice for programs that want tournament performance without a top-tier price.

Key features & specs

• Hand-stitched tournament composite cover for a premium, consistent feel
• Latex rubber bladder for soft touch and responsive playability
• Official NFHS size and weight — Size 5
• NFHS approved and stamped for scholastic competition
• Recommended for players ages 12 and up (U13+)

Coach's tip: Latex bladders give the best touch but lose air a bit faster than butyl, so check pressure before every match and top off to the recommended range. Rotate a set of game balls for competition and keep practice balls separate, wipe the cover clean after wet or muddy play, and store the balls properly inflated in a cool, dry place.

The Spalding Alpha KHSAA Official Football is the sanctioned game ball for Kentucky high school competition — a premium leather football built to perform under Friday-night lights. Its exclusive Horween "S" Tack leather cover delivers the tacky, confident grip quarterbacks and receivers demand in any weather, while a thick two-ply TPU bladder holds consistent air and shape all season. Boxed sewn construction and a raised diamond lace round out a ball engineered for control, accuracy, and durability at the varsity level.

Key features & specs

• Exclusive Horween "S" Tack leather cover for superior all-weather grip
• Thick two-ply TPU bladder for consistent air retention and shape
• Boxed sewn strip and raised diamond lace for control and accuracy
• KHSAA-stamped and official size — the sanctioned Kentucky high school game ball
• Hartco liner supports lasting shape retention

Coach's tip: Break in the Horween leather before game day by working in a leather conditioner and gripping/rotating the ball to bring out the tack. Store footballs at proper inflation in a cool, dry place, keep them out of standing water, and rotate game balls with practice balls so your best leather is saved for competition.

The Spalding TF-Trainer Weighted Basketball is a gold-standard tool for player development. At roughly three pounds, the extra weight builds upper-body and hand strength, sharpens dribbling mechanics, and develops shooting muscle memory — then a regulation ball feels effortless by comparison. It's a smart, durable addition to any practice plan for building fundamentals across youth, middle school, and high school programs.

Key features & specs:

• Weighted to approximately 3 lbs to develop dribbling and passing strength
• Available in official size 7 (29.5") and intermediate size 6 (28.5")
• Performance composite cover for a game-like feel
• Designed for indoor play; retains a true bounce
• Builds ball-handling strength, control, and shooting muscle memory

Usage & care: Use the weighted ball for stationary and moving dribble drills, wall passing, and form-shooting reps — then switch to a regulation ball so players feel the carryover in speed and control. Keep it indoors on clean courts to protect the composite cover, wipe it down with a dry cloth after use, and store it properly inflated away from extreme heat or cold.

Bring arena-style action to any classroom, office, or dorm door. The Spalding 180° Breakaway Over the Door Basketball Unit mounts over a standard door in seconds — no drilling, no wall damage, no tools beyond what's in the box. The polycarbonate mini backboard is wrapped in arena-style padding and paired with a genuine 180° breakaway rim, so kids can throw down dunks the way the pros do while the rim flexes safely on impact. It's a durable, authentic-looking setup that turns downtime into skill-building playtime.

Key features & specs

• 28" x 16.5" polycarbonate mini backboard with arena-style padding
• 9" steel 180° breakaway rim for safe, spring-back dunking
• Padded over-the-door bracket — installs on any standard door, no drilling required
• Includes a 5" Spalding mini basketball and all assembly hardware/tools
• Suitable for indoor recreational play

Coach's tip: A great reward-and-reset tool for classrooms and team rooms. Inflate the included mini ball to 2–4 PSI for the best bounce and rim feel. Wipe the backboard and padding down with a damp cloth as needed, and periodically check that the over-the-door bracket is seated snugly so the unit stays secure through heavy use.

Put a ball in young hands that they can actually control. The Spalding Rookie Gear Soft Grip 27.5" is a size 5 youth basketball engineered around one goal: helping beginning players build real technique. Its Soft Grip Technology cover is easy to catch, palm, and shoot, and the ball is roughly 15% lighter than a standard youth ball so smaller athletes can develop proper form instead of muscling every shot. Sized right and weighted right, it's the ideal first ball for elementary PE classes, youth rec programs, and driveway practice.

Key features & specs

• Size 5, 27.5" circumference — the standard youth/intermediate size
• Soft Grip Technology cover for an easy, confident feel on catches and shots
• Approximately 15% lighter than a standard youth ball to develop technique
• Pebbled surface graphics for controlled grip and handling
• Built for both indoor and outdoor play
• Ships inflated and game-ready

Coach's tip: Perfect for ages 8 and under just learning to shoot with two hands transitioning to one — the lighter weight encourages correct shooting mechanics. Store at room temperature, wipe the cover clean with a damp cloth after outdoor use, and check inflation periodically with a needle and hand pump to keep it game-ready all season.

The Spalding Instinct TF delivers dependable composite-cover performance with a look that stands out on the court. Its premium composite cover and deep-channel construction give players a soft, controllable grip, while a unique multi-panel, multicolor design makes this ball easy to spot in a busy gym or on a crowded ball rack. Shipped inflated and game-ready, the Instinct TF is a versatile indoor/outdoor pick for recreational leagues, club programs, and everyday practice.

Key features & specs

• Premium composite (leather-feel) cover for a soft, controllable grip
• Deep-channel construction for improved handling and control
• Unique multi-panel, multicolor design for high visibility
• Shipped inflated and game-ready
• Built for both indoor and outdoor play; Official Size 7 (29.5") and Intermediate Size 6 (28.5")

Coach's tip: The eye-catching color design makes the Instinct a favorite for camps and rec programs where balls tend to wander — it's easy to identify and count back in. Match Size 6 to intermediate and women's players and Size 7 to varsity, wipe the cover after outdoor use, and keep it inflated to about 7–9 PSI for a true, consistent bounce.

The Spalding 41100HS Pro NFHS baseball is the trusted game ball of high school programs nationwide. Built to meet strict NFHS and NOCSAE standards, it pairs a premium full-grain leather cover with a cushioned cork center and gray-and-white wool windings for the consistent feel, controlled bounce, and durability competitive baseball demands. Spalding's raised seams give pitchers a dependable grip for movement and command, while the tough leather cover holds up inning after inning. Sold by the dozen and individually poly-bagged, it's the smart stock choice for varsity and JV programs.

Key features & specs

• Cushioned cork center for consistent, controlled response off the bat
• Gray-and-white wool windings for structure and shape retention
• Spalding raised seams for enhanced pitching grip and control
• NFHS and NOCSAE stamped; sold by the dozen, individually poly-bagged

Coach's tip: Keep game balls separate from batting-practice balls so your certified stock stays fresh for competition. Store baseballs in a cool, dry place at stable humidity to protect the leather and windings, and rotate stock so older balls get used first. Order by the dozen early in the season to lock in supply for a full schedule.

The Spalding Autograph Official Football is made to collect the signatures you'll want to keep forever. Its composite cover features three smooth white panels that give paint pens and markers a clean, ink-friendly surface, so autographs from favorite players, coaches, or a championship team come out crisp and stay sharp. Full official size and shaped like the real thing, it's a standout keepsake for fan events, team banquets, senior nights, and trophy cases.

Key features & specs

• Durable composite cover for a firm, display-ready feel
• Three smooth white panels designed for clean, lasting signatures
• Official football size and shape
• Ideal for autographs, awards, fan events, and casual catch
• A memorable gift or team keepsake at an affordable price

Coach's tip: Use a quality paint pen or fine-tip permanent marker on the white panels for the sharpest, longest-lasting signatures, and let each signature dry before rotating the ball. Keep it lightly inflated so the panels stay firm for signing, and display it out of direct sunlight to prevent the ink and cover from fading over time.

The Spalding Advance Pro Composite Football delivers NFHS-stamped, competition-ready performance at a price that makes sense for stocking a whole program. Its premium composite cover with a laminated design and foam backing gives players a soft, dependable grip in all conditions, while the soft-grip TPR laces make it easy to find the perfect throwing grip snap after snap. Sized for youth players (ages 12–14), it's the smart choice for middle-school teams, youth leagues, and programs that need durable game and practice balls that won't break the budget.

Key features & specs

• Premium composite cover with laminated design for durability and grip
• Foam backing for improved feel and control
• Soft-grip TPR lace for a comfortable, secure throwing grip
• NFHS stamped and approved for scholastic play
• Youth size, engineered for players ages 12–14

Coach's tip: Composite covers need no break-in and grip well right out of the box, which makes this ball ideal for wet-weather practices and heavy daily use where you'd rather not risk premium leather. Keep balls inflated to the recommended pressure, wipe them down after muddy sessions, and store them dry to keep the cover and laces in top shape.

The Spalding Alpha Youth Pee Wee Football introduces young players to premium equipment from their very first snap. Built with the same exclusive Horween "S" Tack leather cover as Spalding's varsity Alpha ball, it gives ages 6–9 the tacky, confident grip that helps them learn to throw and catch with real technique — sized down to fit smaller hands. A thick two-ply TPU bladder, boxed sewn construction, and raised diamond lace mean this Pee Wee ball plays and lasts like the big-kid version.

Key features & specs

• Pee Wee size, engineered for players ages 6–9
• Exclusive Horween "S" Tack leather cover for superior grip
• Thick two-ply TPU bladder for consistent air retention and shape
• Boxed sewn strip and raised diamond lace for control and durability
• Premium leather construction that helps young athletes build proper technique

Coach's tip: Matching the ball size to the age group is the single best way to help young players develop a proper grip and spiral — the Pee Wee is right for the youngest athletes. Condition the leather to bring out the tack, keep it properly inflated, and store it in a cool, dry place away from standing water to protect the cover.

The Spalding All Weather Basketball Net is engineered to survive the elements year-round. Built from UV-resistant, weather-proof material, it shrugs off sun, rain, and cold that quickly destroy standard nylon nets — making it the smart choice for outdoor courts, playgrounds, and any rim exposed to the seasons. It fits standard rims and keeps that clean, true swish long after ordinary nets have frayed and faded.

Key features & specs

• UV-resistant, weather-proof construction for year-round outdoor durability
• Resists sun fade, rain, and cold-weather brittleness
• Fits standard basketball rims
• Delivers a consistent, satisfying swish on made baskets
• Available in White and Red/White/Blue

Coach's tip: This is the net to install on exposed outdoor and rooftop courts where standard nylon won't last a season. Attach all loops evenly so the net hangs straight and wears uniformly, and even weather-proof nets benefit from a periodic inspection — replace before any strand frays fully through so the rim always looks and plays its best.

The Spalding Heavy Duty Basketball Net is built to last the whole season and then some. Made from durable, thick nylon, it stands up to constant makes, weather, and rough outdoor play far better than the thin nets that ship with most hoops. It fits all standard 12-loop goals, making it a simple, affordable upgrade for gyms, driveways, and institutional courts that want a crisp swish on every made shot.

Key features & specs

• Thick, durable nylon construction for extended service life
• Fits all standard 12-loop rims
• Delivers a satisfying, true "swish" on made baskets
• Holds up to heavy indoor and outdoor use
• Available in White, Red/White/Blue, and team colors

Coach's tip: Buy a few extras at the start of the season so a worn or vandalized net never sidelines a court. Attach all 12 loops evenly so the net hangs straight and wears uniformly, and choose team colors to add a finished, program-proud look to your home gym. For outdoor rims, inspect the net periodically and replace it before it frays through.

The Spalding Inflating Needle is the small part that keeps every ball in play. Precision-made to fit all standard pumps and any ball with a standard inflation valve, these needles are the single most-lost piece of equipment in any gym — so having spares on hand means a flat ball is never a reason to stop practice. Buy them individually to replace a bent or missing needle, or grab the 10-pack to keep the whole program covered all season.

Key features & specs

• Fits all standard hand and electric pumps
• Works with any ball that uses a standard inflation valve
• Durable metal construction resists bending
• Available individually or in a convenient 10-pack
• An essential, low-cost backup for coaches and equipment managers

Coach's tip: Always moisten the needle with water or a drop of saliva before inserting it — a dry needle can crack the ball's valve and cause slow leaks. Insert it straight, not at an angle, to avoid bending, and stash a few spares in your ball bag, pump case, and equipment room so you're never caught short on game day.

Keep every ball on the rack game-ready with a Spalding Basketball Pump. Whether you're topping off a single ball before practice or inflating a full cart at the start of the season, these dependable hand pumps move air quickly and reliably. Dual-action models push air on both the push and the pull for faster inflation, so coaches and equipment managers spend less time pumping and more time running practice. Compatible with standard inflation needles, they work with basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, and more.

Key features & specs

• Dual-action pumps available in 6", 8", and 12" sizes for fast, efficient inflation
• Single-action 12" option available for steady, controlled pumping
• Compatible with all standard inflation needles
• Works with any ball that uses a standard inflation valve
• Durable construction built for daily athletic-program use

Coach's tip: Choose a larger dual-action pump for high-volume days when you're inflating carts of balls, and keep spare needles on hand since they're the part most often lost or bent. Moisten the needle before inserting it to protect the ball's valve, and store the pump indoors to keep the seals working smoothly.

Spalding basketball rims are built to take a beating and keep hanging true — the right replacement or upgrade for driveways, gyms, and institutional programs alike. From the spring-loaded Pro Image and Arena Slam breakaway rims engineered for hard, competitive play to the fixed Slam Jam and Standard rims for recreational hoops, there's a Spalding rim to match every backboard and level of play. Durable steel construction and proven Spalding hardware mean dependable rebounds season after season.

Key features & specs

• Available in Pro Image, Arena Slam Breakaway, Pro Slam, Slam Jam, and Standard styles
• Breakaway models feature spring-loaded flex to protect the rim and backboard during aggressive play
• Heavy-gauge steel construction for long-lasting durability
• Offered in Orange, Red, and Black finishes
• Ideal as a replacement rim or a performance upgrade for existing systems

Coach's tip: Choose a breakaway rim (Pro Image or Arena Slam) for players who dunk or hang, and match the rim's mounting pattern to your backboard before ordering. Check net loops and mounting bolts for tightness each season, and wipe the rim down periodically to slow rust on outdoor installations.

The Spalding Momentous EZ Assembly Basketball System takes the biggest headache out of owning a portable hoop: setup. Engineered with Spalding's EZ Assembly design, it goes together far faster than a traditional portable system without sacrificing the quality and stability players expect. With multiple configurations available, you can choose the backboard and features that fit your driveway, court, or program budget — and get everyone playing sooner.

Key features & specs

• EZ Assembly design dramatically reduces setup time and part count
• Available in three configurations to match your space and budget
• Portable, weighted base for stability and easy repositioning
• Adjustable rim height to suit players of every age and skill level
• Durable steel pole and backboard support built for regular play

Coach's tip: Even with EZ Assembly, having a second person on hand makes raising the pole and board safer and quicker. Fill the base with water for easy moves or sand for maximum stability, keep hardware snug after the first few weeks of play, and secure or lower the system ahead of high winds. LTL freight shipping is required, so confirm delivery access before ordering.

The Spalding "The Beast" Portable Basketball System is the legendary portable hoop that plays like an in-ground system but rolls wherever you need it. Anchored by a massive tempered glass backboard and a heavy 5" square steel pole, The Beast delivers the rigid, true rebound serious players demand, while a heavy-duty dual-ballast wheeled base keeps it planted through dunks and hard drives. It's the gold standard for driveways, church gyms, camps, and programs that want portability without giving up performance.

Key features & specs

• Tempered glass backboard available in 54", 60", and 72" sizes
• Heavy-duty 5" square steel pole with steel-frame backboard support
• Pro-style breakaway rim for safe, aggressive play
• Height adjusts from 7.5' to 10' for every age and skill level
• Large-capacity ballast base (up to ~55 gallons) with wheels for one-person repositioning

Coach's tip: Fill the base with water for easy moves or sand for maximum stability and wind resistance — sand holds firmer but makes the system permanent. Tip the base onto its wheels to roll it into position, keep hardware tight, and store or secure it before severe weather. LTL freight shipping is required, so confirm delivery access.

The Spalding 2-Piece Pole In-Ground Basketball System brings gym-quality play to home courts and school driveways at a smart value. Its glass backboard delivers the true, lively rebound that separates a real basketball system from an entry-level hoop, while the U-Turn Lift makes adjusting rim height quick and easy for players of every age. Built on a sturdy 2-piece 4" steel pole for permanent in-ground stability, it's a reliable choice for families and programs that want lasting performance.

Key features & specs

• Glass backboard for authentic, true rebound
• U-Turn Lift height adjustment for easy rim-height changes
• Durable 2-piece 4" steel pole for permanent in-ground installation
• Pro Image Rim for dependable, spring-loaded breakaway play
• Height adjusts to suit youth through full-height competition

Coach's tip: As a permanent in-ground system, it requires anchoring in concrete — set the anchor and let it fully cure before assembly. LTL freight shipping is required, so confirm delivery access and gather help for installation. Tighten all hardware after assembly, re-check it seasonally, and keep the backboard clean for the best visibility and rebound.

The Spalding U-Turn Pro Lift In-Ground Basketball System delivers professional-grade performance for driveways, courts, and school programs that want a permanent, high-quality hoop. Its standout U-Turn Pro Lift height-adjustment mechanism makes raising and lowering the rim smooth and effortless, so the same system serves youth players and full-height competition alike. A tempered glass backboard provides true, gym-quality rebound, while a heavy 6" steel pole and included pole pad add stability and player safety.

Key features & specs

• U-Turn Pro Lift height adjustment for smooth, tool-free rim height changes
• Tempered glass backboard for authentic, true rebound
• Heavy-duty 6" steel pole for lasting stability
• Flex Rim breakaway and protective pole pad included
• Height adjusts across the full range to fit every age and skill level

Coach's tip: This is a permanent in-ground system, so set your anchor and let the concrete fully cure before mounting the pole and board. LTL freight shipping is required — confirm delivery access and plan for a multi-person assembly crew. Keep the pole pad secured for player safety, and periodically tighten hardware and inspect the rim for the longest service life.
