How to use

To prepare the ball for use, ensure it is inflated to the recommended pressure level using a standard ball pump with a needle adapter.

After use, wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris, and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the material quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that size 5 is appropriate for the age group of the intended players
• Ensure the ball will be used primarily on outdoor surfaces
• Check that you have a compatible pump and needle for inflation

Usage recommendations
