FAQs
What size netball is recommended for players under 11?
The Size 4 netball is recommended for players aged 11 years and under.
Does the Gilbert Eclipse Match Netball come with an inflation pump?
No, the inflation pump is not included with the netball. A standard pump is required for inflation.
What surfaces can this netball be used on?
The Gilbert Eclipse Match Netball is suitable for all surfaces, including grass, hard courts, and indoor surfaces.
How should I maintain the ball's shape?
To maintain shape, avoid sitting on the ball, do not over-inflate, and avoid prolonged use on very rough surfaces. Rotate balls in your kit if you have multiple.
How do I check the ball's pressure?
You should check the PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) of the ball before each use to ensure it is properly inflated for optimal performance.
Is this ball suitable for older players?
While durable, the Size 4 is specifically recommended for players 11 years and under due to its size. For older players, a Size 5 netball would typically be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate properly
Ensure the needle is properly moistened and inserted straight into the valve. Check that the ball is pulled into its correct shape before inflating. Verify you are using a standard pump.
Ball feels soft or loses air quickly
Check the ball's PSI before use and reinflate as needed. Ensure the valve is clear of debris. Inspect for any visible punctures.
Ball is losing its shape
Ensure the ball is not over-inflated or stored under heavy weight. Avoid using the ball on excessively rough surfaces. Rotate with other balls if applicable.
