Find your perfect Touch Ball
Touch Football is a fast-paced and exciting sport enjoyed by people of all ages. Selecting the right ball is key to improving your performance and enjoyment of the game—whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer. This guide walks you through the key factors to consider when choosing a touch football, including types, sizes, and materials. Let’s dive in!
Types of Balls Available
Touch footballs are specifically designed for the sport and differ from traditional rugby balls in size and grip. The main types include:
Match Balls
Built for competitive games, our Ultra Plus and Ultra balls are top-tier in quality and performance. With enhanced grip and precision construction, they’re designed for maximum gameplay excellence.
Training Balls
The Club ball is perfect for training, drills, and learning the game. These are durable, cost-effective, and ideal for casual or frequent use.
Hi-Vis Balls
Perfect for low-light conditions, Hi-Vis balls are built for night games and outdoor training, offering excellent durability across all environments.
Are There Different Sizes?
Yes, choosing the correct size ball is crucial for comfort and control. Our touch footballs come in two standard sizes:
Senior
- Standard size for players aged 13 and older.
- Larger and heavier—ideal for competitive games and players with developed skills.
Junior
- Suitable for players aged 6–12 years.
- Medium-sized ball offering balance between control and challenge for skill development.
Always choose a ball appropriate to the player’s age and skill level to maximize performance and enjoyment.
Does the Ball Material Matter?
The construction of a touch football significantly impacts performance and durability. Here's what to look for:
Outer
Most balls have a synthetic rubber outer cover that enhances grip and withstands tough playing conditions.
Inner
Inner linings help maintain the ball’s shape and integrity under pressure. Look for 3 or 4 ply cloth cross linings for improved durability.
Grip Patterns
Textured surfaces and grip patterns improve handling, especially in wet or humid conditions. Moderate or classic grips support player development during training without the intensity of match conditions.
Choosing the right touch football doesn’t have to be complicated. By considering the ball type, size, and material, you can find the perfect fit for your game. Whether you're training, playing socially, or competing seriously, the right ball makes all the difference.
