An additional thought....
One advantage of the battery operated units is if your area sufferes from occassional blackouts. Of course, your gym must have enough windows to continue play. However, even a short "bump" could cause a loss of the clock etc. where the battery system, I assume, would be impervious to that. Unfortunately in our gym a "bump" causes us to lose our lights for 10-13 minutes. Some rainy Saturdays are pretty frustrating....
As for the balls, I checked with local high schools to learn exactly which ball they are using. I bought the same ball for our league games. I can honestly say I've done what I can to easy the transition from our church league (56 teams,~550 kids) to high school play. Our program combines 8-10 year olds, so we start everyone on the 28.5 ball.
