Spalding Rookie Gear has produced outstanding results. During product development Spalding took to the field and conducted blind field-tests with some of the very best young athletes from across the country. Test locations included: the Pop Warner Super Bowl held at Walt Disney's Wide World of Sports, the Basketball Hall of Fame and Sports World, New England's premier indoor soccer facility.

Each of the Spalding Rookie Gear tests was designed to illustrate improvements in performance (measured in distance) and body mechanics (measured in accuracy). The results of the tests were clear... Spalding Rookie Gear enabled young athletes to kick, shoot, and throw farther and with better accuracy than ever before.
