ADIDAS TRAINING & PRO SOCCER BALLS

Controlling the game is everything. From touch, shape, and movement, to flight of the ball, the construction of your soccer ball can impact how well you command the pitch. Competitive soccer players usually have different types of soccer balls for training, match day or just to kick around. See the options below for choosing the right adidas soccer ball for your favorite type of play.

ALL-INCLUSIVE REC AND PRACTICE SOCCER BALLS

Built for durability, adidas recreation soccer balls are made of soft synthetic materials for play on nearly any field and available in a variety of different sizes. Typically, these balls are slightly heavier for beginner’s slower play, yet, competitors of all skill levels use these balls for practice and recreation on hard turf fields due to their resilience. Machine-stitching is the most stand-out visual difference between adidas match balls and training balls and it offers a consistent touch for any player.

TRAINING BALLS THAT RISE UP THE RANKS

For those taking their game to the next level, it’s important to train with a soccer ball similar to what is used for your matches. Your passing, shooting and general foot skills will be different for lighter soccer balls made with a premium bladder like latex. Try out an NFHS approved ball which is used for some club, high school, and college teams. To be NFHS approved, the soccer ball needs to:

a. be spherical

b. have an outside casing constructed of leather or approved synthetic material that is water resistant

c. have a circumference that is not more than 28 inches nor less than 27 inches

d. not weigh more than 16 ounces or less than 14 ounces at the start of a game.

SOCCER BALLS THAT LIGHT IT UP

The highest in cost, top match balls for elite soccer players are constructed with a supreme quality cover, backing, and bladder for the most predictable flight pattern and striking ability. Some of the most impressive official match balls on the field are made with the threadless, seamless, beveled edge (TSBE) technology which provides a seamless surface for touch and less water uptake to stay in control. adidas soccer balls that pass a demanding series of tests, set by FIFA, on the shape, weight, performance, rebound and water absorption have the highest ranking a soccer ball can get. Most adidas training and pro match balls are FIFA approved so you can lead the charge down the pitch.
