Difference between Indoor (futsal) and Outdoor balls

The indoor – also known as Futsal - ball uses a different bladder to create a low bounce ball. No other ball uses this type of bladder, making the two games quite different. The ground and netting can also be abrasive, meaning a tougher outer is sometimes used. Click to read more

How are footballs made and how does it impact their play?

The construction of a soccer ball can alter the feel and flight of the ball dramatically PU, TPU and PVC are the most commonly used materials, however, offer different qualities and specs depending on construction. Soccer balls were initially made from leather but this made them prone to weight increase when wet and poor performance.Today, outers are commonly made from synthetic materials such as PU, TPU and PVC. These materials don’t absorb much water, are less affected by temperature changes, and can be easily adjusted to manufacturer needs. Click to read more

Look after your footballs. Learn about what you should and shouldn’t do.

Don’t over inflate your ball, use the right pressure. Don’t leave your ball outside when not in use. Long exposure to the elements can damage your ball. Don’t use your ball on hard/rough surfaces. Concrete, tar, bricks, rocks can cut the surface and destroy the outer of the ball. Do not sit or stand on your ball. This will deform it. Regular use is ideal. Ball materials can go stiff if left in one spot for long periods. Click to read more
