FAQs
What is the recommended age group for a Size 4 football?
A Size 4 football is generally recommended for players aged 8 to 12 years old. It is a standard size for youth leagues and development programs.
How many balls are included in the pack?
This product is a pack of 12 Mitre Impel One Footballs in Size 4, along with a 12-ball mesh bag.
Can this ball be used for matches or only for training?
The Mitre Impel One is primarily designed as a durable training ball. While it can be used for informal matches, it may not meet the exact specifications required for official competitive matches, which often use higher-grade match balls.
How should I inflate the ball?
Deflate the ball completely before inflating. Use a standard ball pump with a suitable needle. Wet the needle slightly before inserting it into the valve to prevent damage. Inflate to the recommended pressure, usually found on the ball itself.
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. This means it can withstand more impact and use over time.
How do I clean the football?
Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and grass. Avoid using soap or harsh cleaning agents, as these can degrade the material.
What is the warranty on this product?
Please refer to the retailer or Mitre's official warranty policy for specific details on warranty coverage for this product. Typically, standard warranties cover manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the inflation needle for damage or ensure it is securely inserted into the pump. Inspect the ball's valve for any debris or damage. If the valve is faulty, the ball may need replacement.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Use a ball pressure gauge to check and adjust the inflation level to the manufacturer's recommended PSI. This is typically printed on the ball itself.
Panels are separating or stitching is coming undone
This indicates significant wear and tear. For minor issues, stitching might be repairable, but significant separation suggests the ball has reached the end of its lifespan for intensive use. Consider a replacement.
Ball seems misshapen
Ensure the ball is properly inflated. If it remains misshapen, it may have been over-inflated previously or stored incorrectly. Allow it to deflate slightly and re-inflate, or if severe, it may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Mitre Impel One Football arrives deflated. Ensure you have a suitable ball pump and needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure. The recommended pressure is usually found printed on the ball itself or in the product's documentation.
Compatibility: This Size 4 football is recommended for players aged 8-12 years, aligning with standard football age group regulations. It is suitable for use on grass, artificial turf, and other common playing surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
- Storage: Store the ball in its mesh bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain its shape and material integrity.
- Inflation: Periodically check the ball's inflation. Over-inflation can stress the panels, while under-inflation can affect performance and potentially lead to misshaping. Re-inflate as needed using a reliable pressure gauge.
