Team Blast Football - Red

No, the Team Blast Football is delivered deflated for shipping purposes. You will need a standard ball pump and an inflation needle to prepare it for use.

This is a Size 1 football. It's ideal for younger players learning basic skills or for technical training drills for all ages.

Moisten the inflation needle, carefully insert it into the valve, and inflate with a ball pump until it's firm but slightly pliable. Do not over-inflate. The recommended pressure is usually printed near the valve.

The Team Blast Football is primarily designed for training and skill development due to its durable construction and Size 1. For official matches, specific regulations for ball size and weight often apply, and this ball may not meet those standards for all age groups or leagues.

Wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its material integrity and appearance.

Ensure the inflation needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the valve itself isn't obstructed or damaged. If air leaks around the needle, try moistening the needle before insertion. If the ball loses air quickly, check for small punctures on the surface or a faulty valve by submerging the ball in water and looking for bubbles.

Check the inflation pressure. If it's too hard, slowly release a small amount of air. If too soft, add more air. The recommended pressure is often printed near the valve. Correct inflation is crucial for optimal bounce and control.

While the PU outer is hard-wearing, constant use on very rough or abrasive surfaces can cause wear. Minimize use on concrete or gravel if possible. Small scuffs are normal, but significant tears may impact performance and durability.

Exposure to prolonged direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Store the ball in a shaded, cool, and dry place when not in use to help preserve its appearance.
