Full details
The Mitre Flare Football is an excellent choice for recreational players and training sessions, offering reliable performance on both natural grass and astroturf. Its primary strength lies in its machine-stitched durability and high-visibility design, making it easy to track during play.

FAQs
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
The Mitre Flare is designed for training and recreational play; it is not classified as a professional-grade match ball.
Does the package include a pump?
No, the ball is supplied deflated and does not come with a pump or needle.
What age group is size 5 for?
Size 5 is the standard regulation size for adults and youth players aged 12 and older.
Can I use this on concrete surfaces?
While the polyester material is durable, we recommend avoiding concrete or tarmac, as these abrasive surfaces will quickly wear down the outer stitching.
How do I ensure I inflate it to the right pressure?
It is best to use a hand pump with an integrated pressure gauge. Most training balls perform best between 8 and 10 PSI.
Troubleshooting
The ball loses air pressure quickly
Check for debris in the valve, or ensure the pump needle was inserted straight. If the valve remains loose, contact the manufacturer regarding the seal.
The ball feels too hard after inflation
Use a ball pressure gauge to ensure it is within recommended PSI limits for a size 5 ball (usually 8-10 PSI). If too hard, press the needle back into the valve to release a small amount of air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ball is delivered deflated for efficient shipping. To set up, use a standard ball pump with a needle adapter. Moisten the needle slightly before inserting it into the valve to avoid damaging the internal seal. Inflate until the ball feels firm but still allows for a slight compression under pressure.
Care: To extend the life of your ball, wipe it down with a damp cloth after use on muddy grass. Avoid leaving the ball in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for long periods, as this can degrade the material. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
