The NCBBA is proud to have the Rawlings Contour basketball serve as The Official Basketball of The National Club Basketball Association.

I’m thrilled to partner with Rawlings Sporting Goods as the Official Basketball of the NCBBA.  While Rawlings may not be a household name in the basketball arena, the quality of their basketball is as good as it gets.  Over the years, we have developed a tremendous relationship with the Rawlings brand and I know their commitment to our leagues is unmatched.  They value the NCBBA, its member teams and are proud to collaborate with us and offer their state-of-the-art basketball.  I know our teams will become huge fans of this basketball.”           – Christian Smith | NCBBA Vice President of Operations

We are extremely excited to extend our partnership with Rawlings into our NCBBA Leagues. They have provided nothing but fantastic service to our NCBA (Club Baseball), NCSA (Club Softball) & NCFA (Club Football) Leagues throughout the last 20 years. We look forward to sharing their continued excellence with all of our NCBBA member teams!”

Eric Curitore | CollClubSports Vice President of Marketing

Rawlings combines Composite Laid-in Channels and Cushion Core Technology to enhance the feel of the ball and increase its grip ability.  Add a Microfiber Leather Cover and you have a basketball that truly delivers maximum grip and allows the highest amount of player control.

At Rawlings, we are dedicated to enhancing the performance of athletes and the overall experience of the game. Our partnership with the NCBBA signifies a momentous step forward in achieving these goals. We are proud to align ourselves with an organization that shares our passion for the sport and our dedication to supporting collegiate athletes.”
