FAQs
What is the recommended age for a Size 3 football?
A Size 3 football is generally recommended for children aged 8 years and under. It helps them develop fundamental skills with a manageable ball size.
How do I inflate the Mitre Final Logo Football?
The football is supplied deflated. You will need a standard ball pump with a suitable needle. Insert the needle into the valve and pump until the ball reaches its desired firmness. Do not over-inflate.
Can this ball be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the EVA foam and TPU materials are suitable for use on grass and astroturf, including in various weather conditions. However, it is best to dry the ball after use if it becomes excessively wet.
What is the difference between EVA Foam and TPU materials?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam provides a soft touch and cushioning, while TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) offers durability and abrasion resistance. The combination aims to balance comfort with longevity.
Does the ball come with a pump?
No, the Mitre Final Logo Football is supplied deflated and does not include a pump. A separate ball pump and needle are required for inflation.
Is this ball suitable for indoor play?
While the ball is durable, it is primarily designed for outdoor surfaces like grass and astroturf. For indoor play, a dedicated indoor football is generally recommended to prevent excessive wear on the ball and flooring.
Troubleshooting
Ball is not inflating properly.
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the valve itself is not blocked or damaged. Check that the ball is not over-inflated and that the pressure is within the recommended range.
Ball loses air quickly after inflation.
Check the valve for any leaks. If the problem persists, there may be a puncture or a faulty valve. Contact customer support if within warranty.
Surface of the ball feels rough or uneven.
This can sometimes occur if the ball has been stored incorrectly or exposed to extreme conditions. Try re-inflating and ensuring it is clean. If the material is damaged, it may affect performance.
