ProNine NFHSA High School Game Baseballs - Dozen
The ProNine NFHSA is the durable workhorse of ProNine's high school baseball family: a full grain leather game ball with a cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings, approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and stamped to the NOCSAE standard. Sold by the dozen, it is built for programs that go through a lot of baseballs and want every one of them game-legal.
Durability That Stretches a Baseball Budget
The NFHSA uses the same cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings as ProNine's most popular game ball, under a tough full grain leather cover. That combination keeps the ball round, lively, and playable through the doubleheaders, tournaments, and scrimmages that wear out lesser baseballs. Programs that order game balls by the case pick this model because it takes abuse without giving up game-ball feel.
Raised Seam, Real Game Feel
A precision raised seam gives pitchers the same grip reference they get from any high school game ball, so there is no adjustment between this ball and the more expensive models in the line. Catchers and infielders get a true, consistent ball off the bat.
Certified for the High School Rulebook
Each NFHSA carries the NFHS authenticating mark, meets the NOCSAE performance standard, and bears the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) certification mark. It is fully legal for high school baseball games, not just practice.
Who This Baseball Is For
High school and travel programs that want one ball to cover games and heavy scrimmage use, athletic directors stocking a season's supply, and coaches who would rather buy two dozen durable game balls than one dozen delicate ones. It is a smart pick for junior varsity baseball as well.
Where It Fits in the ProNine NFHS Lineup
The NFHSA sits between the economy NFHS1 and the premium-cover NFHS in ProNine's four-ball NFHS family. You give up the premium leather grade of the NFHS and the gray wool windings of the PRO NFHS, but you keep the cushioned cork center and full certification at a friendlier price.
How It Compares to Other Brands
Cross-shopping by model number? The NFHSA compares to the Rawlings ROLB, the Wilson A1020, and the Diamond DOL-A. The closest ball we stock from those families is the Rawlings ROLB1X practice baseball.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the NFHSA and the NFHS?
The cover grade. The NFHS uses a premium full grain leather cover; the NFHSA uses standard full grain leather. Inside, both share the cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings, and both are NFHS approved with the NOCSAE stamp.
Is this a game ball or a practice ball?
It is certified as a game ball and many programs use it exactly that way. Its durability also makes it a favorite for live scrimmages, so plenty of teams use one ball for both jobs.
Why does a wool wound center matter?
Wool windings recover their shape after every impact, which keeps the baseball round and its compression consistent. Cheaper synthetic windings flatten out faster, and the ball goes dead sooner.
