subject: Choosing Your Soccer Balls can be Real Fun [print this page]


Yes indeed choosing your soccer balls can be real fun. Soccer is perhaps the only game which needs the minimum of investments. Sometimes, the only thing that you really need is a ball to play with. These balls may not look different to the layman but they do come with vital differences.

Gone are days of the old leather soccer balls. The reason behind this is that these balls get heavier when they get wet or moist. And that can seriously interfere with the game and playing as a whole. Nowadays, the preferred choice is a synthetic leather ball or even a rubber ball. There are quite a few other materials that are used to make soccer balls today, including nylon, rubber, PVC or polyurethane.

Soccer balls are available in a wide range of sizes. They usually vary from 3, 4 and a size 5. Size 3 is for novices and kids who want to learn playing soccer or just need one for practice. Kids under the age of 8 years use them usually. A size 4 is used by people within the age of 8 to 12 years. The last one is size 5 which is a standard size of a soccer ball used for international soccer.

In addition, you should also check whether a ball is stitched or glued. Check on the quality of the thread used. Again a glued ball gets heavier in due course whereas a stitched ball rolls on smoothly. Also check the bladder of the ball which is either made up of butyl or latex. The inflation has to be right to make it playable.

Customization is the latest buzz these days and it's no exception with soccer balls too. You can order a custom ball to be made, displaying your club's logo or sporting its colors, and have a truly unique experience on the field.

These days you can order all the soccer balls you want from online stores on the Internet. You can also buy a host other soccer accessories including soccer goals (even foldable and portable ones), field marking equipment, and referee and coaching gear, soccer books, DVDs and more. Take advantage of special soccer closeout sales for hefty discounts on all your purchased items.
