Product Information

Full details

The adidas Glider Football in Yellow (Size 3) is designed for everyday play and casual use, offering durability and consistent performance for players of all ages. Its hard-wearing outer resists scuffs, ensuring it maintains its shape and feel through countless sessions, whether you're practicing skills, warming up, or enjoying a friendly match. A key benefit is its reliable air retention thanks to the butyl bladder. The primary consideration is that it is a size 3 ball, best suited for younger players or specific training drills rather than professional adult matches.

FAQs

What is the recommended inflation pressure for the adidas Glider Football?

While specific pressures can vary slightly, you should aim for a firm but playable feel. Check the ball itself for any printed recommendations, or inflate until it feels firm to the touch and rebounds well when dropped from waist height.

Is this ball suitable for official matches?

The adidas Glider Football is designed for everyday play, practice, and casual matches. For official league or tournament matches, FIFA-approved balls of the appropriate size are generally required.

How do I clean the football?

Clean the ball using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always allow the ball to air dry completely before storing.

What makes the butyl bladder beneficial?

A butyl bladder is chosen for its excellent air retention properties, meaning the ball will stay inflated for longer periods compared to latex bladders, reducing the frequency of re-inflation.

Can this ball be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the hard-wearing outer is designed to withstand various conditions. However, always dry the ball thoroughly after playing in wet conditions to prevent damage to the material and bladder.

What age group is a Size 3 football suitable for?

A Size 3 football is typically recommended for children aged 8 and under.

Troubleshooting

Ball is losing air quickly

Check the valve for any debris. Ensure the pump needle was inserted correctly and removed straight. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a slow leak and may need to be replaced if possible, or the ball may need replacement.

Ball feels flat or lacks bounce

Inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. Ensure the valve is sealed correctly. Check for any visible damage to the ball's casing.

Outer casing appears scuffed or damaged

Minor scuffs can often be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For more significant damage, the ball's performance may be affected over time. Store properly and avoid abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The adidas Glider Football comes partially inflated. For optimal performance, it should be inflated to the recommended pressure, typically indicated on the ball itself. Use a standard ball pump with a needle adapter. Do not over-inflate.

Compatibility: This Size 3 ball is ideally suited for young children aged 8 and under, or for specific training drills that require a smaller ball. It is compatible with most standard ball pumps and needles.

Care: To maintain the ball's condition:

  1. Clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  3. Ensure the ball is properly inflated but not over-inflated before storage.
  4. Keep away from sharp objects to prevent punctures.
