Be A Community Hero With Personalized Basketballs For All Ages

personalized basketballs

During my junior year of high school, our basketball court was in serious need of some TLC–tender love and care. Specifically, the worn-out wooden floors. Its shape was so bad that rival team fans would bully our team with insulting chants about the court floors. It was difficult for our players to show pride during a game. Luckily, our athletic department received funding from local businesses to repair our basketball court, and by the Spring, my high school had the best-looking court in the area. We all remember those local businesses that supported us, mainly because their business logos got printed on the new basketball court. Nevertheless, our team had renewed pride, and our winning records improved. This is the impact sponsorships can make on youth sports teams. Especially in lower-income schools. There are multiple benefits of company-sponsored youth leagues such as: 

  • Positive Impact 
  • Engagement with the community 
  • Generate Exposure 
  • Support your other marketing initiatives 
  • Promotional opportunities 
  • Building long-term relationships 

Now, your business does not have to rebuild the whole basketball court to sponsor a youth league. There are plenty of other opportunities, such as providing a league with personalized basketballs. 

Personalized Basketballs For The Mini Ballers 

Size 1 Personalized Basketballs

Start them off young with the Micro Mini rubber basketballs. Suitable for young ballers ages 2-4 years old, this classic solid orange, size 1 micro ball is made of high quality, deluxe rubber, and printed with your company logo on one panel. Quite literally a small investment, this micro ball is a great first impression to parents who will perceive your business as one that is engaged with the community. Start building a long-term relationship with young ballers and parents with this personalized basketball. 

Size 3 Personalized Basketballs 

The Size 3 Mini Basketball is the next size up and suited for young ballers aged 4-8 years old. These mini balls are essential to the development of youth players because it is during this age group that they learn the fundamentals of basketball. Through games and drills, youth athletes slowly develop their basic skills which will later turn into second nature. Proper support and supplies are critical in this age group. Associate your business with this positive impact by providing a set of new size 3 personalized basketballs. 

Personalized Basketballs For The Big Kids 

Ages 9-12 require a Junior size Crossover Composite Basketball. This is the first time young players will have the opportunity to play with a high-end game ball. This is the turning point of a basketball league. This is where the game becomes a sport. Training is used to hone in on skills and tactical strategy is developed. The stakes are higher for athletes in this age group, and parents and schools are more invested. This is the time for your business to implement other marketing initiatives to gain more trust from the community. Initiatives such as hosting fundraisers or sponsoring basketball tournaments that generate more brand exposure. However, it all starts just as it did when these players were 2 years old; with a personalized basketball. 

Making It Official 

For many young athletes, high school is the last bit of their competitive athletic career. A few go on to play in college, and even fewer go on to make it into the professional leagues. The 4 years they have left will be the hardest they will work and the most memorable. Provide them with a Men’s official crossover composite basketball and a Women’s Intermediate-size crossover composite basketball. These personalized basketballs are the official size and weight for the NBA. Further, the crossover composite basketball mimics the high-end rubber material used in the pro leagues. Additionally, these personalized basketballs will not only be used on game days but also during practices and senior photos. Your business will be front and center in all of these events garnering the players, coaches, parents, schools, and ultimately the community’s trust in your brand. With a long-term relationship established, your business will become a staple in the community; and who knows, perhaps some of the players in the team your business has sponsored may work for you in the future. It all starts with a personalized basketball.
