Description of Get Your Little Athlete Moving With SportimeMax Hands-On Junior Basketball - 27 Inches

Our Hands-On Junior Basketball teaches the art of shooting to both right and left handed children. The ball was created with color coding; red for righties and blue for lefties. As an example, the Off Hand; for righties is presented in red, as is the thumb and pinkie positions on the Shooting Hand. Used to indicate all common hand contact positions. As an added benefit, the ball is striped in bright contrasting panels of high-optic yellow and orange. This striping provides clear directions for the rotation of a correctly released ball. Sold individually. Provides hand placement cues for both right AND left handed shooters

Great teaching tool

Soft rubbery feel, not plastic or slick feeling. My 5 yard old son loves the hand placements to help him since of course as his dad I'm not allowed to help because he already knows everything.

Pros
  • Great!
Cons
  • Design may not be appealing to some children

Pros
  • My boy loves it!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children who prefer a different type of sport or activity

Awesome ball for a 5 YO and a 10 YO

I got his ball for my 5 YO and it has helped him with his hand placement, but my 10 YO uses it a lot because they both like th feel of it.

Pros
  • Big hit with the grand kids.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children who prefer a heavier ball

Has to be pumped up

Came deflated. Nice ball but coach said since he’s strong enough to get the ball to the basket, full size would be best. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • It arrived I aired it up for a Christmas present for my son he hasn't stopped playing with it since
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for children with certain special needs or disabilities

Perfect shooting tool.

Good ball to use to train youth on proper hand placement on the ball to shoot. This is a small child's sized ball. Not suitable for use by teens in my opinion.

Pros
  • Just as described. Perfect for beginners!
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for all ages and skill levels

Defective inflation valve. Won't hold air.

Made in Bangkok, so you know its good. "Jack talk Thai, Deana. Jack talk Thai very well."Held air for 4 weeks then found it completely flat. Assumed it had a puncture but when held underwater the leak was revealed to be a failure of the inflation valve.

Pros
  • Good ball kind of expensive though
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other junior basketballs

Good Kid's Basketball

It's a good basketball for a younger player. My son is 8 and it is still a bit big for him, but I am happy with my purchase Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Both my boys age 5 and 3 like this basketball. I like that it is light enough for them to get up.
Cons
  • Good ball for indoors. Do not use to play on concrete.

Lost all air after a month

The ball arrives deflated. We bought a pump and inflated it. The ball worked well for a month. It just started to lose air and becomes flat. Nothing has happened to the ball that would cause this. I add more air and now it only last maybe an hour before it starts to lose go flat again. We missed the return date by a week. Only a 30 day return window. Also the hand placements are not useful. The ball is also overly cushiony.

Pros
  • My 5 year old learned how to shoot with this ball. I would recommend it.
Cons
  • May require additional accessories for indoor play

Great quality and hand positioning is a bonus.

Excellent quality. The ball has a comfortable feel and is very durable. The hand positions are color coded for a left or right shot. Not too heavy. Great purchase.

Pros
  • Fun and helpful design is great for a beginner child's introduction to basketball!
Cons
  • The ball comes deflated!!!

Perfect fit for a 5 year old

I bought this ball for my 5 year old daughter. She recently started to learn how to play basketball. I searched in vain for a pink 27 inch ball but setteled for this. She likes that it is not brown like most other basketballs. The size is perfect for her. Given that most of the 5 year old boys playing with her are not any bigger, this should be fine for boys too.The ball has markings on it that show how to hold the ball when shooting a basket. The markings are are for left and right handed…

Pros
  • Perfect size for my 5 year old. It has a really great rubber grip and bounces really well.
Cons
  • May not bounce as well as other basketballs

Make sure you buy a pump too!

Seriously? How about you put in your AD that I have to run out and buy a pump because it comes not inflated? That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Great basketball!
Cons
  • Not suitable for outdoor use

Don’t discount this option

We have a basketball hoop in the front yard. We’ve owned at least half a dozen basketballs over the last couple years and this is the kids 5-7 yrs. favorite. I don’t know why it just is. That includes versus Spalding Wilson NCAA official blah blah blah

Pros
  • My 6 year old grandson loves it.
Cons
  • The ball has not held air since it came in the mail.

Pros

Cons

Don’t buy. It will not stay inflated.

I was disappointed with the quality. It worked great for a few weeks, but then it wouldn’t stay inflated. May not meet regulation size for certain leagues.

Pros
  • Soft and great size for my 5 year old daughter!
Cons
  • May not meet regulation size for certain leagues

I love how it shows them where to put their hands .

The other kids on my kids basketball teams at the YMCA all wanted a turn. I love how it shows them where to put their hands no matter if they are left or right handed. Where was this when I tried playing as a kid? LOL

Pros
  • Nice product
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use on certain surfaces (e.g., concrete

Pros
  • Perfect for small kids!
Cons
  • Not suitable for competitive play
