Soccer Balls FAQs

What are soccer balls made of?
Ever wondered what a soccer ball is made of? There are a range of materials that go into the construction of a soccer ball. The inner part of a soccer ball is known as a bladder. It’s typically made of latex or rubber for a sturdy ball with lots of surface tension. The outer cover of a soccer ball is made of pieces of either polyurethane or PVC that are bonded together and then stitched for structure.

What size soccer ball should I get?
Soccer balls are available in four different sizes, size 1 soccer ball through size 5. Use this chart to determine which size soccer ball is best for your needs:

Size 1 soccer ball: Also known as a mini soccer ball, this ball is great for little kids—or to use as a memento!
Size 2 soccer ball: A size 2 soccer ball is a skills ball. It’s used for skills training, like passing, receiving, dribbling, and more.
Size 3 soccer ball: This is best for kids ages 5–8.

What’s the difference between indoor and outdoor soccer balls?
Did you know that some soccer balls are made to be used inside, while others should be used outside? An indoor soccer ball is less bouncy than one designed for outside. It can also be coated in suede or felt to help it grip slippery floors better. Outdoor soccer balls, on the other hand, have an artificial leather surface that helps them glide easily across grass.

What’s the best type of soccer ball for training?
A mini soccer ball is a great choice for practicing soccer skills. Using a smaller ball will improve your control and technique, so you’ll be a pro when you get in a game with a standard sized soccer ball.
