*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
To the uninitiated, it may seem like all soccer balls are created equal, but anyone who's spent some time on the field will be able to tell you that simple isn't true. In this article, we're going to be taking a look at some of the many types of soccer balls and explaining the differences, and helping you pick the right ball for any occasion! By the end of this article, you'll understand more about the different types of balls, and when it's good to use each one.
Cheap Soccer Balls Vs Expensive Soccer Balls
In the next section, we'll talk a little bit more about FIFA approved and inspected balls. A professional-caliber ball will usually cost at least $150, but you don't need to spend that much to get a great quality soccer ball. $40-60 seems to be the sweet spot between price and quality, where you'll be able to get an excellent soccer ball without spending an arm and a leg. That doesn't mean you can't find good quality balls for closer to $15 or $20, but they're not going to be as good as the higher end soccer balls. If you're going to be playing serious games in a league, you'll want to have a great game ball. For practice or just messing around at lunchtime with your friends, something cheaper will do the job just fine.
FIFA Approved Vs FIFA Inspected
Some soccer balls will advertise that they have been either FIFA approved, or FIFA inspected. Many consumers will see either of these labels and assume that they mean the same thing, but that's not true. FIFA inspected simply means that FIFA has inspected the ball, quite literally. Approved means that FIFA has taken a look at the soccer ball and it meets their high standards of quality. The quality of the ball you need is really going to depend on your budget, how much you want to spend, and how high of a level you'll be playing at.
Indoor Soccer Balls Vs Outdoor Soccer Balls
Another factor in choosing the correct ball is whether you'll be using it indoors or outdoors. There aren't any set standards, and many balls are versatile meant for both indoor and outdoor, but here are some general rules of thumb to help differentiate the two. Indoor balls will generally have a softer outside, whereas outdoor balls are typically glossier. Outdoor balls may be lighter, since they need to travel much further distances. Outdoor balls are generally better protected from weather and he elements, for example they're typically more waterproof.
Soccer Ball Sizes
To make things even more complex, once you've chosen the right soccer ball you've now got to select a size for it. Smaller soccer balls are used for younger players. The standard adult size is size 5, and the smallest is size 1. Size one soccer balls are also referred to as "skills balls", used to develop accuracy in footwork, dribbling, and ball control.
Final Thoughts on Soccer Balls
It's easy to get carried away with every little stat, number and detail about various soccer balls when you're trying to find the one that's just right, but ultimately you'll never know whether or not it's the perfect soccer ball for you until you get out on the field and try it out. Don't spend too much time worrying about whether you're choosing the right ball or not, just choose your budget, grab something that seems good, lace up your favorite soccer shoes and start playing! A soccer ball isn't going to make or break you as a player, it's your skills. The most talented soccer players in the world would be just about as good if they were using $10 balls or $300 balls, what's most important is taking the time to practice and get better.
