Decathlon - Football Size 3 First Kick (for Kids Under 9 Years) - Blue - 3

Our design teams prioritised the exterior cover's durability and bounce so that you can practise your first moves. Key Features • Durability: PVC outer layer for good durability. • Lasting air retention: Optimised bladder for good air retention. • Reduced impact: Hardness of a classic football. • Bounce: The ball meets international football standards in terms of bounce. Technical Specifications • The story behind this ball: It's important that young footballers use a ball that's the right size, no matter their age, which is why our design teams have developed the First Kick. Size 3 for < 9 year olds. Size 4 between 9 and 12 years. Size 5 for over 12 year olds. In addition, we have conducted numerous lab and field tests to guarantee the ball's ability to withstand every hit. • Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardised...: Ball weight: Between 410 and 450g (Size 5)Between 350 and 390g (Size 4)Between 290 and 335g (Size 3) • How big is it? What's the circumference?: Ball circumference: Between 68 and 70 cm (size 5).Between 63.5 and 66 cm (Size 4).Between 58.0 and 60.0 cm (Size 3). • A "round" ball?: Average measured variation: maximum of 2%. We measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences. If the discrepancy is greater than 2% (FIFA PRO Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce. • Maximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not lose more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar. The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar. This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
