Why this ball?
Our football design team observed young footballers out on the pitch to develop and design this hybrid 5-a-side ball. The ball is hybrid due to its design that combines the comfort of machine stitching with the durability of hand sewing. It makes it easier for your child to learn the first technical moves and resists their first shots (even when they don't make it into the goal...).
Foot5, Society, Calcetto or Five-a-side?
"Calcetto" in Italy, "Society" in South America, "Five-a-side" in the United Kingdom and "Foot5" in France... the game has many names, but the rules are always the same. Our ball is suitable for your children, whichever name you use.
Weight
Between 270 and 320 g (Size 3)
Circumference
Between 60 and 63cm (size 3).
A "round" ball?
It might seem obvious, but in reality, balls are never completely round! The average variation measured in the sphericity of our ball is 1.5% maximum to ensure smoother, more comfortable football.
Consistent bounce!
This size 3 ball has optimal bounce, between 64 and 96cm. Thanks to our technical materials, the maximum difference between the lowest and highest bounce is 10cm, ensuring a consistent bounce suitable for children's games.
Tips for optimal inflation [...]
We recommend inflating this ball to a pressure of 0.55 bars to make the most of it! Don't worry, it's completely normal for a ball to lose a little pressure after a few days (0.1 bar in 72 hours). Pressure is ensured thanks to the latex butyl bladder.
Play in all weathers!
Playing in the rain is something every player experiences! We've simulated these play conditions in the lab to ensure our ball doesn't get heavier by absorbing water. The weight variation doesn't exceed 15% of the initial weight, or 50g for this size 3 ball.
Maintains shape and pressure
2500 shots at 50km/h from 2.5m away on a sloped concrete surface. It's the most demanding test we've subjected our ball to:
- the seams resisted this test
- the circumference increased by no more than 1.5cm
- the sphericity varied no more than 1.5%
- the ball lost no more than 0.1 bar of pressure
