It is hardly possible to name a game that would be more popular than football. After the world and European championships, the interest in this game increases several times, and the stores are making good revenue selling soccer balls and uniforms. To make the game of football enjoyable, it is worth choosing the ball with special care.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a soccer ball, it should be remembered that all balls can be roughly divided into three groups: match (strong, for better grip), professional (the ball is suitable for any game and in any conditions) and training (repelling water and dirt).
Step 2
If you are going to play football in a turf stadium, you have to choose between professional and match ball models. These are quite expensive balls, the price of which varies from 2 to 10 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer and the popularity of the model.
Step 3
On concrete, asphalt or any other hard surface, these balls will quickly peel off and become unusable. For example, if the game is planned to be played on gravel or asphalt surfaces, then it is best to choose a simple and inexpensive training ball that costs up to 1,500 rubles.
Step 4
Among modern synthetic balls, there are models of different prices. Their cost will depend on both the brand and the number of layers of the outer shell of the ball. Expensive balls, of course, have more layers, which allows them to maintain a good appearance for a long time.
Step 5
When choosing a ball, check how well it is pumped up. A correctly inflated soccer ball, lowered to the floor from a height of one and a half to two meters, should bounce off the floor by at least a meter.
Step 6
Next, you should check the suitability of the nipple. Apply a few drops of any liquid to it and make sure there are no bubbles.
Step 7
It is definitely worth checking how smooth the surface of the ball is. To do this, throw the ball up by scrolling it around its axis. If the ball does not jerk from side to side, then it is relatively flat.
Step 8
To make the final choice, compare several balls of the same model and decide on the purchase.
