It is important that young footballers play with a ball of the right size. For this reason, our design teams have developed the TRAINING BALL with the aim of offering a ball perfectly adapted to each children's category. Size 4 between 9 and 12 years old. Size 5 for over 12 years old. Furthermore, to ensure this ball meets all your demands, we have subjected it to numerous tests in the laboratory and on the pitch. Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardised. Between 410 and 450 grams (Size 5). Between 350 and 390 grams (Size 4). What size is it? What circumference? Between 68.0 and 70.0 cm (Size 5). Between 63.5 and 66.0 cm (Size 4). Optimal sphericity for a precise bounce. We analyse the sphericity of the ball at 4500 different points and measure the differences. The average variation must not exceed 1.8 % (in accordance with the FIFA BASIC standard). If this figure is exceeded, our engineers intervene to optimise the shape of the ball and guarantee a homogeneous and precise bounce with every touch. Controlled air retention for optimal play. We inflate the ball according to the recommended pressure of 0.8 bar. After 72 hours, its pressure must not have decreased by more than 15 %, i.e. approximately 0.1 bar, which guarantees a residual pressure of about 0.7 bar. This means that a slight loss of pressure after a few days is completely normal. Inflating the ball regularly guarantees good performance. We have also carried out the ball water absorption test. In the laboratory, we simulate playing conditions in the rain by immersing the ball in 2 cm of water and applying 250 successive compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15 % of its initial weight. A controlled bounce for optimal performance. For size 5: Between 125 and 155 cm, with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest bounce and the lowest bounce, per ball. Each ball is dropped 10 times onto a steel plate from a height of 2 metres. For size 4: Between 115 and 155 cm, with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest bounce and the lowest bounce, per ball. Each ball is dropped 10 times onto a steel plate from a height of 2 metres.
