Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The football arrives deflated. Before first use, inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. This is typically found printed near the valve. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the valve area before inserting a needle to prevent damage.
Compatibility: This Size 5 football is compatible with standard football equipment and is suitable for players aged 12 years and older. It can be used on various surfaces including grass and well-maintained artificial turf.
Care:
- Inflation: Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure for optimal performance and longevity. Over-inflation can damage the bladder and panels, while under-inflation affects flight and roundness.
- Cleaning: Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the TPU shell. Allow the ball to air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store it under heavy objects, which can cause deformation. Deflating the ball slightly for long-term storage can help maintain its shape.
