All National League games must use Basketball England's official Wilson match ball in these sizes:
| Age group | Ball |
|---|---|
| Under 18 Boys | Size 7 (Wilson Evolution) |
| Under 18 Girls | Size 6 (Wilson Evolution) |
| Under 16 Boys | Size 7 (Wilson Evolution) |
| Under 16 Girls | Size 6 (Wilson Evolution) |
| Under 14 Boys | Size 6 (Wilson Reaction Pro) |
| Under 14 Girls | Size 5 (Wilson Reaction Pro) |
| Under 12 Girls and Under 12 Mixed | Size 5 (Wilson Reaction Pro) |
Teams bring their own practice balls, which must also be the relevant Wilson official game ball. The crew chief approves the match ball at least 20 minutes before tip-off, and a ball from a different competition can't be used.
