There are many intricacies to purchasing a football in today's modern game - it's important to get the right ball for your play, as today's game isn't about just kicking any round thing you can get your hands on:

SIZE

Football's come in varying sizes. Read below to understand what the difference in sizes are, prior to choosing a right football for you or your team:

Size 5: Under 14 to Senior - used in Senior Levels of play, typically starting from the age of 14+. Most Official Match Footballs, which are stamped with the FIFA Quality Pro Approval, are made in Size 5. These balls are used in Elite competitions in Australia, and around the world.

Size 4: Under 10 to Under 13 - used in Junior levels of play. Size 4 Footballs are used for ages 14 and under, and are the optimal size for small-sided outdoor games, and Junior training.

Size 3: Beginner to Under 9 - used in Miniroos levels of play. Size 3 footballs are used for beginner footballers, as their small size suits players of younger stature as they develop their bodies and footballing skills.

Mini: commonly known as 'skills' balls, Mini footballs are a novel football, used as collectors items or for fun, hence 'skills' being referred to often with these balls. They are excellent for fine tuning a footballers touch and control, as the small size of the football makes for more difficult play, requiring a player to be extremely precise in their practice and training.

FIFA QUALITY PRO

The FIFA Quality Pro stamp is rewarded to footballs which uphold the specifications and quality that is required for use in the worlds top competitions.
