Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the custom basketball?
Full size — 29.5 inches, same as men's regulation. It's built for display, not play, so the graphics stay perfect on a shelf, desk, or trophy case.
What if we don't call him "Dad"? Can it say Daddy, Step-Dad, Papa, or Pawpaw?
Absolutely — every design is fully custom. Whether it's Daddy, Step-Dad, Grandpa, Pawpaw, Pop, or any other name your family uses, we'll make it fit. Just include your preferred name in the text field on the order page or add a note in the order comments on the cart page.
Can I use old or low-quality photos?
Most photos work — even scanned prints or screenshots. Our design team reviews every image and will let you know if there's a resolution concern before production. You'll see a proof first.
How many photos can I put on the ball?
Choose from 2 or 4 custom panels. Each panel can include photos, text, logos, and colors — so even a 2-panel design gives you plenty of room to tell Dad's story.
Will it arrive before Father's Day?
Most orders ship in 8-10 business days after proof approval. Order by June 1st for comfortable delivery. Orders placed by June 8th are still achievable with quick proof turnaround.
The custom basketball Dad will never put down
Dad coached from the bleachers, rebounded in the driveway, and never missed a game. A custom basketball from Make-A-Ball turns those memories into something he can hold — a full-size ball printed with your photos, his name, and a message that says what a card never could.
Every ball is printed using our exclusive Custom Image Technology — the graphics won't fade, crack, or peel. You'll receive a free design proof with unlimited revisions before we produce anything. Most orders ship in 8-10 business days.
Design ideas by type of dad
For the former player: Use a photo from his playing days, his old jersey number, and a line like "Still got game." The ball becomes a tribute to who he was on the court.
For the coaching dad: His team's photo, his coaching record, and a message from the players. "Coach Dad | [Years] Seasons | Thank you for every practice" turns a basketball into a career highlight.
For the devoted fan: Designed in his favorite team's colors with his name and a line about never missing a game. "Section 214, Row 3. Every home game since '98."
For grandpa: Each grandchild's name on the ball, a family photo, and "Grandpa's Starting Five" as the central text. The gift that makes grandfathers go quiet for a moment.
