Black Friday Clubs Area
A club lives to the beat of its balls: when they glide, it's time to take advantage of the Black Friday in the Clubs Space. Match and training balls, hoops, whistles, and accessories for coaches are all discounted, a great way to refresh your stock before the next part of the championship.
Make the list with your coaches, then filter by brand or type of product.
The collective equipment, and nothing else
This page brings together equipment designed for collective use, stored during the operation. Mainly balls, hoops, and small training equipment, for clubs, basketball schools, and associations. Team kits are mainly on the Black Friday textile page.
The first expense: the balls
This is what costs clubs the most. And what wears out the fastest.
- Competition balls approved by the FFBB are used for official matches. They come in sizes 5, 6, and 7 depending on the category.
- Training balls, which are more robust, can handle repeated sessions without losing their grip.
- The page ball lots collects identical lots of balls to outfit a whole group all at once.
For individual balls, also compare with the Black Friday balls page.
Hoops, whistles, session equipment
Equipment helps players progress just as much as the balls.
The page club equipment features basketball hoops, baby basketball hoops for the youngest, referee whistles, and training accessories. For a basketball school, an adjustable baby basketball hoop allows children to score from their very first sessions.
The brands that equip the clubs
The favourite brands of clubs on Basket-Center specialise in balls and collective equipment.
- Molten offers balls approved by the FFBB, used by many clubs in championships. Its BG range also equips FIBA competitions.
- Wilson, which manufactures the NBA match ball, offers balls and lots for training.
- Spalding is known for its TF range in composite leather, available in lots for clubs.
- Sporti offers initiation equipment, like baby basketball hoops at ground level.
- Nike completes the range with rubber balls for outdoor use.
Equipping a club on a small budget
The most effective method: list the needs by category before ordering.
- Count the balls per team. One ball per player during training means more dribbling and shooting exercises.
- Stick to the sizes: size 5 for children, size 6 for younger teens and girls, size 7 for boys from the age of 12.
- Separate match and training: approved balls for official games, training balls for sessions.
- Think of referees: whistles and branded table accessories are common oversights.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find cheap balls for a club?
Lots are the most economical solution: they can be found on the ball lots page. Check the size of each lot according to your categories, and keep a few approved balls for matches.
Can a promotional training ball be used in an official match?
Not always. Only balls approved by the federation are accepted in official competitions, and that information is on the product sheet. For training, a non-approved ball works perfectly well and often lasts longer. Compare on the Black Friday balls page.
What hoop should I choose for a basketball school without breaking the budget?
For the youngest, an adjustable baby basketball hoop at ground level is ideal. They can score their first baskets. These models are available on the club equipment page. Check the minimum height and stability of the base before ordering.
How can we make the club's balls last longer?
Inflate them to the pressure indicated near the valve and check them often: if a ball is under-inflated, it wears out faster. Keep indoor balls for the court and store them in a bag for balls, away from heat. The ball lots allow for them to be rotated between sessions.
Is Black Friday a good time to order equipment?
Yes, to renew equipment before the second phase, as long as you've done the inventory. Prefer to wait? The special offers for clubs and the club sales present other opportunities throughout the year.
