The Nike Academy Football in Yellow/Violet/Bright Crimson, Size 3, is engineered for junior players and skill development, offering superior stability and a consistent touch for training and competitive scenarios. Its advanced design helps maintain predictable flight paths and withstands rigorous use, though its smaller size is specifically suited for younger players or focused skill drills.
Nike Aerowsculpt Technology: Utilizes contoured grooves to disrupt airflow, significantly stabilizing the ball's flight path. This ensures more accurate crosses and long passes.
Textured Casing: The outer shell features a textured surface, providing a consistent and enhanced touch. This allows players to "bite" into the ball for more powerful shots and precise control during passing and dribbling.
Hardy Rubber Bladder: Designed for excellent shape retention and reduced air leakage, ensuring the ball maintains its optimal form and pressure through relentless training sessions and matches.
Durable Material Composition: Constructed from a blend of 67% rubber, 13% polyester, 10% polyurethane, and 10% EVA, contributing to its long-lasting performance and resistance to wear and tear.
Bold Contrast Colors: Features a striking combination of yellow, violet, and Bright Crimson, which stands out clearly against various pitch conditions. This enhances ball visibility, making it easier to track during fast-paced play.
Stable and Predictable Flight: Aerowsculpt technology ensures the ball travels true, improving accuracy for passes and shots.
Enhanced Ball Control: Textured casing provides superior grip, aiding in dribbling, passing, and powerful striking.
Exceptional Durability: A hardy rubber bladder and robust material construction guarantee longevity even with rigorous daily use.
High Visibility: Bold colors make the ball easy to track in various lighting and pitch conditions, reducing eye strain and improving reaction time.
Size Specificity: As a Size 3 ball, it is primarily suited for younger players or specific training drills, limiting its use for adult or older youth full-game play.

The Nike Academy Football, Size 3, is engineered to elevate skill development and performance on the pitch. Its Nike Aerowsculpt technology means that when you strike the ball for a long pass or cross, it will maintain a more stable trajectory, reducing unpredictable swerving. This translates to more accurate deliveries to teammates and better chances in front of goal.
The textured casing is crucial for developing precise control. Players will notice a more consistent touch when dribbling, allowing for tighter control in close spaces. When shooting, this texture allows for a better "bite" on the ball, enabling more powerful and accurately placed shots past the keeper. It's an ideal ball for practicing different shot types, from volleys to finesse curves.
Thanks to its hardy rubber bladder and durable material blend, this football is built to withstand the demands of consistent training. Whether it's daily practice, drills, or competitive games, the ball will maintain its shape and air pressure, providing a reliable feel every time. The bold color scheme (Yellow/Violet/Bright Crimson) ensures high visibility on the pitch, making it easy for players to track the ball's movement, even in challenging lighting conditions or during fast-paced play, which is particularly beneficial during intense training sessions or competitive matches where quick reactions are key.
Unpack the Ball: Remove the football from its packaging.
Locate the Valve: Find the inflation valve, typically a small, dark hole on the ball's surface.
Prepare for Inflation: Lightly moisten the inflation needle (not included) with water or glycerin. This prevents damage to the valve.
Inflate: Insert the needle into the valve and slowly inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. The recommended pressure is usually printed near the valve; for a Size 3 ball, this is typically between 8-12 PSI (0.6-0.8 BAR). Do not overinflate.
Check Pressure: Squeeze the ball gently; it should feel firm but have a slight give. A good bounce test is to drop it from shoulder height; it should bounce back to around waist level.
Age Group: This is a Size 3 football, ideal for children aged 8 and under, or for skill-building drills for older players where a smaller, more maneuverable ball is desired.
Playing Surfaces: Suitable for most standard football playing surfaces, including natural grass and artificial turf.
Usage: Perfect for training sessions, skill development, and competitive matches in appropriate age categories.
Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to heat can damage the bladder and outer casing.
Inflation Maintenance: Regularly check the ball's pressure and re-inflate as needed to ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan. Avoid leaving the ball underinflated or overinflated for long periods.
