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

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.

Eco-friendly design

The Decathlon Coach app was developed so users could follow training programs created by certified coaches. In addition to running and walking, the app now offers specific soccer training programs that help and coach you through individual training sessions.

The semi-rigid material means stepping on the agility ladder will not break it.

Your ladder stays in place: the semi-rigid rungs reduce the chance of slipping.

The neon colour makes the ladder more visible.

This agility ladder was designed for footwork coordination exercises at home or in a club.

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 fulfil a major function (marking out drills, creating targets, etc.) to help you run fun, effective training sessions for all age groups. The ladder trains you to dodge obstacles. Follow the story!

The Essential range and our take on training

"When designing the Essential range, we wanted to give the products a sense of motion. That's why we added a directional aspect to each product. Every item has an arrow to mark it out as part of the range. On the agility ladder, the rungs are therefore all curved in the same direction. It's intuitive and fun, even for younger kids. The arrows show you when to accelerate and when to slow your steps."

Our soccer design team explains the Essential collection’s identity

"The Essential agility ladder is 3.2 m (3 1/2 yd) long and composed of 7 rungs spaced 51 cm (20") apart. We'll leave our design team to explain why:
"The dimensions and spacing let you set up movements without them being too long, even for kids. We also wanted a basic, affordable product that's easy to store and use so that you don't end up wasting time during training sessions. The agility ladder, you and you're ready to go!

Dimensions and design for more effective training

Having a distinctive, recognisable shape is important. But improving at training while staying safe is our priority. This is why we've checked the durability of the agility ladder during demanding tests. We put the ladder's rungs and their unusual shape through their paces at the Kipstadium in Tourcoing to make sure they're durable and stable. The result? The ladder doesn't move or get damaged during drills.

"The agility ladder has become an essential for soccer and individual training. Improve your coordination to become a better soccer player! You'll also have better balance with faster feet. It gives you exactly the kind of footwork skills you need for soccer. And there are more than 80 drills you can do with this agility ladder! When you buy it, we'll send you an email with some videos to inspire you."

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

bladder type

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 have developed a tool that allows us to measure the our balls' durability.
We identify and evaluate all possible defects through a series of practical lab tests.
We use these tests to compare our soccer balls' overall durability with that of 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 410 g and 450 g [14 1/2 and 16 oz.] (size 5).
FIFA Basic-approved.

This ball measures between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (27 and 27 1/2") 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 metres (2 yd).
 The bounce height must be between 125 cm and 155 cm (49" 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 (3/5").
- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 1.8%
Pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%

Our soccer ball range is co-designed with 244 European soccer players. This community helped us to pick the colours and names so that it's easy to see the difference between the models.

These balls are FIFA approved and designed to meet different levels of technical requirement (Practice, Games, Pro Ball).

Their increased durability and better feel bring them ever closer to the official ball that graces the playing fields of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT.

Style

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.
