Main Material

Did you know that our volleyball line has balls of different sizes and sometimes different weights?  For our size 5 soft balls, here are 3 different weights that are suitable for different age ranges: 
This ball for young players aged 4 to 5 years old weighs between 180 and 200 grams.
The ball for players aged 6 to 9 weighs between 200 and 220 grams.
The ball for players aged 10 to 14 weighs between 230 and 250 grams.

Different size and weight

What does "laminated" mean? It means that the ball's panels are not sewn but glued together. This manufacturing method improves the precision of each pass and improves resistance.

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.

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%

Lighter ball with foam-padded panels for softer contact.

This learning ball is designed for kids. It’s lighter than a regular soccer ball, making it easier for kids to learn to play.

Following extensive testing, this lighter ball was designed with all the technical characteristics of a regular soccer ball.
Two kilometres of thread wraps around the bladder to maintain its pressure and sphericity. 

This ball is 15% lighter than a regular size 5 soccer ball. What difference does this make? Because of the ball’s lighter weight, young soccer players can kick or head the ball more comfortably. It’s also easier to aim, do long passes, and score goals.A guaranteed hit!

Lighter than a regular ball

This ball weighs between 340 and 360 g (12–12.7 oz), compared to 410–450 g (14.5–16 oz) for a regular size 5 soccer ball.

This ball measures between 68–70 cm (26.8– 27.6 in) in size 5.

What’s the circumference?

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 Pro standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support and subject it to 250 compressions.
By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight. For the size 5, that means a maximum of 50 g.

Between 125–155 cm, 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.

For the best chance of making your passes, don't overinflate your ball.

How to inflate your ball

Hand size changes with age. So choose your football accordingly.To choose the ball best suited to your body, we recommend
- a Junior ball between ages 10 and 12,
- a Youth ball between ages 12 and 14 
- and an official size ball after age 14.

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%

We’ve designed this soccer ball for players discovering soccer with a club or playing occasionally.

It’s important that young soccer players use a ball that’s the right size, no matter their age, which is why our design teams have developed the F 100.
