Soccer Balls Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard soccer ball size?

A size 5 soccer ball, with a circumference of 27 to 28 inches, is standard for ages 12 and older and for pro teams. For kids, size 4 is slightly smaller and is intended for players between 8 and 11 years old. Weighted balls made for playing indoor futsal are also size 4. Size 3 is made for the youngest players, ages 7 and under. And finally, size 1 mini soccer balls are for everyone — they're great for practicing footwork.

What type of ball is used in soccer?

Soccer balls come in many variations of texture, materials, size, color and technology, but what they all have in common is their perfectly round shape. A soccer ball made for pro teams is intended to be used on firm ground. It typically has the highest rating based on how well it can maintain its shape, retain air, perform with true and consistent flight and prevent water absorption. Some soccer balls are specifically designed for playing matches on grass. Others are tough enough to stand up to hard training.

Why are soccer balls different?

Different kinds of soccer balls are designed for different kinds of play and different surfaces. For example, a training soccer ball is meant to be as durable as possible so it can stand up to repeated training sessions. A match ball is engineered for the truest flight during competition. Finally, a foam-core mini ball is intended for practicing footwork skills. You might also see different soccer balls for playing on grass, on turf and on indoor courts.

What is the difference between a futsal ball and a soccer ball?

A futsal ball is the same size as a size 4 soccer ball but weighs more so it won't bounce as much on an indoor futsal court.

What is the difference between a match ball and training ball?

Match balls are typically made of higher quality materials (either leather or an approved synthetic) and are designed to follow regulations around size, weight, and inflated pressure. Match day soccer balls cost more than training balls.
