We designed the Club Ball X-Light for kids. It's much lighter, making it easier for kids to learn to play at a club.
Learning to kick a ball and get it off the ground is not as easy as it looks. That's why we created this ball, which is 30% lighter than traditional balls.
Achieved a rating of 2.27 on a protocol-based test. Seams on the inside.
This ball is 30% lighter than a standard ball of the same size.
18% pressure loss in 14 days.
Your ball complies with international requirements in terms of bounce.

Our design team created this hybrid ball after observing football players in action on the pitch. This ball is a hybrid because its design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one (the seams are on the inside). We've also used a special bladder (2 km of thread is wrapped around it) to ensure durable inflation and better sphericity.
We've developed a tool for characterising the durability of our balls. Defects that appear in use are identified and assessed through a series of laboratory tests. These tests enable us to compare the overall strength of our footballs with those available on the market. Our aim: to have the most durable products on the market.
This ball is considered light because it is about 30% lighter than a regular size 5 football. What difference does that make? Thanks to its weight, young football players can kick or head the ball more comfortably. It's also easier to aim and execute long passes.
The size of this ball is between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (size 5).
Here's how we test sphericity: Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic certification). We measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences. If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar (FIFA Basic certification). 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.
Here's how we test water absorption: We simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, leaving the ball to sit in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support whilst subjecting it to 250 compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).
Here's the bounce test: The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 metres. The bounce height must be between 125 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the ball's highest and lowest bounce.
The most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. The ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h at a distance of 2.5 m. At the end of the test, we check: - the ball's general state: stitching must withstand this test - the circumference: must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm. - the sphericity: it must not have varied by over 1.8% - the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 12.5%.
