Bring the excitement of March Madness to your driveway, gym, or local court with the Wilson NCAA Final Four Edition Composite Basketball. Built in the classic brown colorway, this ball delivers the look and feel of a real game ball in a youth-friendly Size 5, making it a great choice for young players learning the game and sharpening their skills.
A high-performance composite leather cover features a top coating that strengthens the layers and optimizes durability, so the ball holds up to plenty of dribbling, passing, and shooting. Deeper channels between the panels create more grip points for better ball control on drives, crossovers, and jump shots.
A specialized inflation retention lining helps the ball hold air longer, so it is ready to play whenever you are. Designed for indoor and outdoor play, the Final Four Edition works on the hardwood and the blacktop alike. Wilson is the official basketball of NCAA March Madness, and this ball brings that heritage to every game.
