Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this ball regulation size?
Yes, this is a standard Size 5 football, which is the international regulation size for adults and youths aged 14 and up.
Does it come with a pump?
No, the ball is delivered deflated and does not include a pump.
Can I use this on concrete?
While it is designed for Astro Turf and grass, it can handle light use on concrete, though excessive use on rough, abrasive surfaces will wear the outer layer faster.
How do I maintain the foam feel?
Keep the ball clean and dry after use. Storing it in an environment with extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the foam backing to lose its elasticity over time.
Is this ball suitable for matches?
It is an excellent choice for 5-a-side matches and training, though it is categorized as a mid-level recreational ball.
Troubleshooting
Ball is losing air quickly
Check the valve for debris and ensure the needle was inserted straight. If the valve remains loose, consider using a small amount of valve lubricant.
Ball surface feels too hard
You likely over-inflated the ball. Gently release air by re-inserting the needle without the pump to reach the desired pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your ball, you will need a standard needle-valve ball pump.
- Inflation: Insert the needle into the valve and inflate until the ball feels firm but still allows for slight compression under thumb pressure. Do not over-inflate.
- Compatibility: While it excels on Astro Turf, it is also suitable for grass training sessions.
- Care: To extend the lifespan of the ball, clean it with a damp cloth after play, especially after use on muddy grass. Store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the foam backing from degrading.
