If there’s one thing that unites Filipinos everywhere, it’s basketball. From half-court games in the barangay to full-blown tournaments, the sport continues to thrive as a national pastime.
Now, two major players in the local sports scene are teaming up to take the experience to the next level: Spalding Philippines and Laro App.

Spalding, the world’s leading basketball brand, has officially partnered with Laro App, a sports community and booking platform that helps players find games, join leagues, and connect with fellow athletes.
Through this collaboration, basketball lovers can now enjoy exclusive access to Spalding’s premium basketballs during pick-up games, leagues, and training sessions organized through the app.
“We are thrilled to partner with Laro App, a platform that shares our passion for basketball and community building,” said Mr. Joven Babaan, vice president of Proline Sports Center Inc., the exclusive distributor of Spalding in the Philippines. “This partnership allows us to bring the game closer to players of all levels by ensuring they have access to the same world-class equipment used by the pros.”
The partnership strengthens Spalding’s mission to nurture grassroots basketball while supporting the next generation of Filipino athletes. By putting the same trusted basketballs used by professionals into the hands of everyday players, the initiative bridges the gap between passion and performance.
Laro App, for its part, was designed to simplify how Filipinos play and discover sports. Whether you’re looking for a weekend run, a casual pick-up game, or an organized league, the app makes it easy to connect with the local sports community.
With Spalding as its official ball partner, players can now expect a more elevated and authentic basketball experience every time they step on the court.
For Filipino hoopers, this collaboration is more than just about the ball—it’s about making basketball more engaging, inclusive, and accessible for all.
