FAQs
What sizes is the Gilbert Aurora Netball available in?
The Gilbert Aurora Netball is available in Size 4 and Size 5.
Is this netball suitable for indoor play?
While it can be used indoors, this netball is primarily designed for and performs best on outdoor surfaces due to its durable blended rubber construction.
How do I clean the netball?
Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is Duragrip technology?
Duragrip is a feature that enhances the surface texture of the netball, providing a more consistent and secure grip for players.
What is the recommended inflation pressure?

Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the inflation valve for any debris. Ensure the inflation needle is properly inserted when pumping. If the issue persists, the bladder may be damaged and require replacement.
Surface feels slippery after getting wet
Wipe the ball dry with a clean cloth. For persistent slipperiness, a gentle clean with mild soap and water followed by thorough drying may help restore grip.
Inconsistent bounce
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. Check for any embedded objects or damage to the surface that might be affecting the bounce.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This netball comes inflated and ready for use. Its primary compatibility is with outdoor netball courts, including grass, asphalt, and synthetic surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber surface.
- Storage: Store the netball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help maintain the integrity of the bladder and the rubber surface.
- Inflation: If the ball loses pressure over time, use a standard ball pump with a needle adapter to inflate it to the recommended pressure (typically indicated on the ball or in the manufacturer's guidelines). Ensure the needle is moist before insertion to prevent damage to the valve.
