Description
Overview
The Nike EPL Academy Team is a size 5 football (soccer) for training sessions and recreational games rather than competitive fixtures. Nike's Aerowsculpt technology uses moulded grooves to disrupt airflow across the ball, which reduces drag and keeps the flight stable on longer passes and shots. Its textured casing gives a consistent touch when passing, shooting and dribbling, so players get the same feel from the first drill to the last.
It sits in our footballs category with other training and match balls, and the wider Nike range covers further sizes and models for your club or school.
Key benefits
- Holds pressure and shape between sessions thanks to the rubber bladder.
- Flies straighter with less drag thanks to Aerowsculpt moulded grooves.
- Consistent touch for passing, shooting and dribbling from the textured casing.
- Yellow finish is easy to pick out on grass and turf.
Who it's for
Choose this ball for secondary school PE, senior club training and casual kickabouts. The size guide puts size 5 at ages 13 and up, so it covers older students through to adult players. Younger players aged 9 to 12 are better served by a size 4.
Sizing guide
Football sizes run by age: size 3 for ages 4 to 8, size 4 for ages 9 to 12 and size 5 for ages 13 and up. This listing is size 5 only, in yellow.
Care, safety and set-up
Check pressure before each session and top up with a hand pump and needle. The rubber bladder helps the ball hold air between uses, and storing it inflated and out of direct sun helps it last.
