Extended Product Information
FAQs
What age group is the Mitre Impel One Size 2 football suitable for?
The Size 2 football is generally recommended for very young children, typically from ages 4 to 6, who are just beginning to learn the game.
Is this ball suitable for official matches?
This Size 2 ball is designed for junior training and informal junior matches. Official matches for older age groups require larger ball sizes (e.g., Size 5).
How should I clean the football?
Clean the ball using a damp cloth. Avoid using strong chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the outer casing.
Does the ball come inflated?
The Mitre Impel One football typically arrives inflated, but it's always good to check the packaging or product details. If it needs inflation, use a standard ball pump.
What is the benefit of the 6-panel construction?
The 6-panel construction enhances the ball's durability by approximately 10% compared to older designs and also contributes to a more stable and predictable flight path.
Can I use this ball on hard surfaces like concrete?
While the ball is durable, it is best suited for grass, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces. Frequent use on abrasive surfaces like concrete can significantly reduce its lifespan.
What is included in the pack besides the football?
This specific product includes a Mitre Mesh-Panelled 12 Ball Bag, making it convenient for carrying multiple footballs.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve. Check the valve for any debris. If the valve is damaged, the ball may need replacement.
Ball losing air rapidly
Check the valve for leaks or damage. Ensure the pump needle was removed cleanly. Small punctures in the casing can also cause deflation; inspect the ball thoroughly.
Ball shape is distorted
Ensure the ball is correctly inflated to the recommended pressure. If the distortion persists after proper inflation, the internal bladder may be damaged.
Reduced durability after minimal use
Check the playing surface. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces can reduce the lifespan. Ensure the ball is not over-inflated, which can stress the panels.
