Product Information

Full details

The adidas Glider Football in Yellow (Size 4) is designed for everyday play, offering a dependable and durable option for players of all levels. Its key benefit is its resilience, maintaining shape and feel through consistent use on various surfaces. A potential consideration is that while built for durability, it's geared towards casual play rather than professional match conditions. Key features include a hard-wearing outer, a butyl bladder for extended air retention, and machine-stitched panels for consistent flight.

FAQs

What size is this football?

This is a Size 4 football, typically recommended for players aged 8-12 years.

What surfaces can I use this ball on?

The adidas Glider is an all-surface ball, suitable for grass, artificial turf, and hard ground.

How do I inflate the ball?

The ball comes deflated. Use a standard football pump with a needle adapter to inflate it to the recommended pressure, which is usually printed on the ball itself.

How long will the ball hold air?

It features a butyl bladder designed for good air retention, meaning it should hold air for a considerable amount of time for casual play, but may require topping up periodically.

Is this ball suitable for professional matches?

No, the Glider is designed for everyday play and training. It prioritizes durability and consistent performance for casual use rather than meeting the specific requirements of professional match balls.

How should I clean the football?

Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to protect the outer material.

Troubleshooting

Ball is deflating quickly

Check the inflation valve for debris and ensure the needle adapter is fully inserted when inflating. If the issue persists, there may be a slow leak in the bladder or stitching, and the ball might need replacement.

Ball shape is irregular or not round

Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. If it remains misshapen after proper inflation, the internal bladder or stitching may have been compromised during use or manufacturing.

Surface scuffing or peeling

Minor scuffs are normal with use on hard surfaces. For significant peeling, ensure the ball has not been exposed to excessive abrasion or extreme heat, which can degrade the outer material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Maintains air pressure effectively due to the butyl bladder.
  • Consistent and predictable flight and roll.
  • Suitable for various playing conditions and surfaces.
  • Good value for casual players and training.

Cons

  • Not designed for professional match play.
  • May not offer the same responsiveness as higher-end match balls.
  • Yellow color may be less visible in certain lighting conditions compared to high-visibility options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This football arrives deflated and requires inflation to the recommended pressure. Use a standard football pump with a needle adapter.

Compatibility: The Size 4 is generally suitable for younger players, typically aged 8-12, or for smaller-sided games. It is designed for use on a wide variety of surfaces, including grass, artificial turf, and hard ground.

Care: To maintain the ball's condition:

  • Inflation: Inflate to the recommended pressure indicated on the ball. Over-inflation can damage the bladder and panels.
  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is best stored slightly deflated to reduce stress on the bladder and seams.
