Choose a football of the right size
The size of football depends on the age of the person who will use the football.
- Size 5 – from age 12
- Size 4 – for children between 8 and 12
- Size 3 – for younger children up to age 7
The weight of the football is also important. Choose the lightest ball possible – then it will be easier to kick. If you are buying a football for a very young child, a lightweight plastic football is ideal.
Choose a football in a durable material
Footballs need to endure a lot of kicks and knocks. Biltema’s footballs are therefore made of synthetic materials that make them both durable and easier to control.
