Main Material

It's important that young soccer players use the right ball size, no matter their age.
Size 3 for < 9 year olds.

Size 4 between 9 and 12 years.
Size 5 for over 12 year olds.

In addition, we have conducted numerous lab and field tests to guarantee the ball's ability to withstand every hit.

The story behind this ball

Ball weight: Between 410 and 450 g (Size 5)Between 350 and 390 g (Size 4)Between 290 and 335 g (Size 3)

Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized.


Ball circumference: Between 68 and 70 cm (26.7' and 27.6') (size 5).Between 63.5 and 66 cm (25' and 26') (Size 4).Between 58.0 and 60.0 cm (22.8' and 23.6') (Size 3).

How big is it? What’s the circumference?

Average measured variation: maximum of 2%.
We measure the ball’s sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any discrepancies. 
If the discrepancy is greater than 2% (FIFA Pro Standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

A round ball?

We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (11.6 psi).
The ball cannot lose more than 15% of its pressure over the next 72 hours, meaning a maximum pressure loss of 1.5 psi. The pressure after 72 hours must be approximately 10.1 psi.
This also means that it’s quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Maximum pressure loss test: here’s what we do.

To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support and subjected it to 250 compressions.
By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight. For this ball, it means a maximum of 65 g.

We’ve also tested how much water the ball absorbs.

Between 125 and 155 cm (size 5) with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from a height of 2 m.Between 115 and 155 cm (42.3' and 61.0') for size 3 and size 4 balls.

It’s all about the bounce

The most demanding test this ball undergoes is the machine shot test.
The ball must resist up to 2,500 shots against an inclined flat concrete slab at 50 km/h at a distance of 2.5 m.
At the end of the test, we check:
- The ball’s general condition: Stitching must remain intact.
- Circumference: Must not have varied by more than 1.5 cm.

- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 2%.
- Air pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 15%

Packaging

Watching intermediate young players on the soccer field helped us understand the importance of support in a soccer sock.
These soccer socks were designed with polyester and spandex to prevent the sock from slipping around the calf. They also feature a specific knit that’s tighter around the ankle and instep.

Support

Soccer socks need to be durable to support the shin during play, not to mention hold up to wayward studs from time to time.
That's why our design teams chose a polyester and elastane thread so these socks can take whatever comes at them on the field.

A modern style with thin tone-on-tone stripes. 
Because soccer players want to play in style!
These socks are available in many colours to match all your outfits. They team perfectly with the F 500 shorts and shirt.

Customer Service

Engineers and product designers work closely together to develop and enrich our collection of soccer goals with innovative models. For the Classic Goal collection, we kept customer feedback in mind as we focussed on recreating the feel of playing with a real goal while ensuring a durable, safe, and high-quality product.

Design

We work with an in-house mechanics lab (on the B’twin Village site) that lets us validate our goal designs before we put them into production.

For example, to assess a product's solidity, we perform load tests that simulate a child's weight. During this test, we apply a 35 kg (75 lb) load make sure that the goals don't deform.

Durability test

This goal better resists impacts thanks to the reinforced corners, metal attachments, and more durable round tube.
A rust-resistant treatment and more durable paint protects it from rust for 5 years. The result: It withstands 3 times more shots than our previous models and holds up for at least 5 years of normal use.

Designed for longer play life

With a surface treatment (cataphoresis) that allows greater protection against rust, this goal is guaranteed 5 years against corrosion.

Stays in place on your leg

To develop these shin guards, our design teams watched soccer players on the field during practices and games. 
Tackles are part of the game, so our soccer designers created these shin guards with a plastic shell and a shock-absorbing foam pad for impact protection.
They meet European standard EN 13061 concerning shock absorption and the shell’s level of resistance.

The ankle guard ensures the shin guard stays on your leg. Optimizes comfort around your ankle bones.

Stable flight

Your ball complies with FIFA requirements in terms of bounce.

The FIFA-approved Club Hybrid ball pairs comfort with durability. 

This hybrid ball was created after observing soccer players in action.
This ball's hybrid design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one (the seams are on the inside).
We've also used a special bladder (2 km [1 mi] of thread is wrapped around it) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.

We developed a tool that allows us to measure the durability of our balls.
Any defects are identified and evaluated through a series of lab tests.
These tests are used to compare the overall durability of our soccer balls with others available on the market.
Our aim is to offer the most durable products on the market.

Prioritizing durability

This ball complies with official FIFA standards and weighs between 350 g and 390 g (12 and 14 oz.) in size 4.
FIFA Basic approved.

This ball measures between 63.5 cm and 66.0 cm [25 and 26"] (size 4) and complies with official FIFA standards.
FIFA Basic approved.

Here’s how we test sphericity:
Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic standard).
We measure the ball’s sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any differences. 
If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

Here’s how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (11.6 psi).
The ball cannot lose more than 15% of its pressure over 72 hours, meaning a maximum pressure loss of 1.5 psi (FIFA Basic standard). The pressure after 72 hours must be approximately 10.1 psi.
This also means that it’s quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Here’s how we test water absorption:
To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm (1") of water on a pivoting support and subject it to 250 compressions.
At the end of testing, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).

Here’s the bounce test: 
The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 m (2 yd).
The bounce height must be between 115 cm and 155 cm (45 and 61"), with a maximum difference of 10 cm (4") between its highest and lowest bounce.

The most rigorous test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test.
The ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h (30 mi/h) at a distance of 2.5 m (3 yd).
At the end of the test, we check:
- The ball’s general condition: Stitching must remain intact
- Circumference: Must not have varied by more than 1.5 cm (1/2")
- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 1.8%
Pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%

Type of Accessories

carrying base

We watched players on the field and spent a lot of time talking to coaches to establish their needs when setting up drills: marking points on the ground, dodging, etc. And so, the Essential collection was designed: It's made up of clever, affordable products that serve a major purpose (marking out drills, creating targets, etc.) to help you run fun, effective training sessions for all age groups. The Essential markers let you mark out an area. Follow the story!

Introducing the Essential collection

"We wanted to create a simple product that has always been part of the sport. The goal was to take a fresh look at an object that was often taken for granted. The flat markers are used in all drills. We added a unique shape to reflect Kipsta's strong identity: even training markers can look good!"

The Essential collection explained:

"Here are some examples of how the design helps your training sessions:
- No more packaging. The flat cones come with just a sticker
- Their pyramid shape makes the ball's reaction more realistic: it bounces off the sides of the marker
- The matte arrow on the cone shows you which direction to go during drills: you enter on one side and leave on the other
- And they're easy to throw onto the ground with one hand so you can get your drills set up quickly!"

A unique design for more practical drills

A strong visual design is important. But a reliable, safe marker is even better. So to test the durability of the Essential cones, we ran various demanding field tests. Budding soccer players had fun testing their durability by walking all over the cones!

Reliability and durability tested on the field

"The Essential collection was created in 2017 to make training easier and more affordable. The range has been tested in the field and improved based on trainer feedback: 
'We worked with a dozen coaches on long-term tests. We were able to gradually enhance our products, such as the colour and field type, and their level of durability."

Design and testing

The environment is something that is very close to our hearts, so we worked hard to reduce these cones’ environmental impact. In addition to optimising the consumption of materials and eliminating the packaging, these markers are produced as close as possible to our stores to reduce transport emissions: in Portugal for our European stores, and in China for our Asian stores.
The result is a 14% drop in CO2 emissions.
