First Kick Soccer Ball Kids' Size 5

Main part: 100.0% Polyvinyl Chloride ; Bladder: 100.0% Dry Nitrile Butadiene Rubber ; Lining: 100.0% Polyester

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 First Kick.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.

Ball weight: Between 14.5 oz and 15.9 oz (size 5). Between 12.3 oz and 13.8 oz (size 4). Between 10.2 oz and 11.8 oz (size 3).

Ball circumference: Between 26.8” and 27.6” (size 5). Between 25” and 26” (size 4). Between 22.8” and 23.6” (size 3).

Average measured variation: maximum of 2%.We measure the soccer's sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any differences. If the discrepancy is greater than 2% (FIFA Pro Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar).72 hours later, the ball must not lose more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar. The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar.This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

We simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, leaving the ball to sit in 0.8” of water on a pivoting support while subjecting it to 250 compressions.By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight, or approx. 2.3 oz for the First Kick in size 5.

Between 49.2” and 61” (size 5) with a maximum difference of 3.9” between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from a height of 6'6”. Between 45.3” and 61” for size 3 and size 4 balls.

The most demanding test that this ball is subjected to is the machine shot test.The ball must withstand 2,500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 30 mph from a distance of 8'2”.At the end of the test, we check:- the ball's general state: the stitching must withstand this test.- the circumference: it must not have increased by more than 0.6”.- the sphericity: it must not have varied by more than 2%.- the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 15%.

We value your feedback and use it to continuously improve our products. A huge thank-you in advance for sharing your feedback with us.

Complies with international federation standards.

After use, store your ball in a dry and ventilated place.
