FAQs
What age group is a Size 5 ball for?
A size 5 ball is the standard size for players aged 12 and older, including all adult leagues.
Is this ball suitable for competitive matches?
Yes, the durable machine-stitched design is suitable for training sessions and competitive club matches.
Can I use this ball on concrete?
It is recommended to use the ball on grass or artificial turf; concrete will significantly accelerate the wear of the TPU cover.
Does the ball come inflated?

What is the benefit of the 12-panel design?
The 12-panel design helps the ball maintain a more spherical shape for consistent flight and improved aerodynamics.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for debris or potential damage. Apply a small amount of valve oil if the needle inserts with excessive friction.
Ball feels uneven during play
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure; unevenness is often caused by under-inflation in a specific area of the bladder.
Surface scuffing
While minor scuffs are inevitable during play, avoid high-impact surfaces like concrete to prevent excessive surface wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your PUMA CAGE football, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Inflation: Ensure the ball is inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure range. Avoid over-inflation, which can stress the seams.
- Surface Compatibility: While durable, the ball performs best on grass or artificial turf. Avoid playing on asphalt or gravel to preserve the finish.
- Cleaning: Wipe the ball down with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the TPU material.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or moisture can weaken the panels.
