Description
Overview
The Nike Strike EPL 18/19 is a size 4 training football (soccer) aimed at junior players. It is a training and recreational ball rather than a match ball, so it belongs in PE lessons, club practice sessions and casual games rather than graded fixtures.
The design leans on visibility and consistency. Bold high-contrast graphics on a yellow casing help players track the ball, while the 12-panel construction with Nike Aerowtrac grooves is designed for a true, predictable flight.
Key benefits
- Easier to track in the air and on the ground thanks to high-contrast graphics.
- Flies true and consistently with the 12-panel design and Aerowtrac grooves.
- Holds pressure and shape between sessions with the rubber-reinforced air chamber.
- Better feel on the foot from the textured casing.
Who it's for
Choose this ball for intermediate-age players, junior club squads and PE classes working with students in the 9 to 12 year range. Its junior and training positioning makes it a sensible choice for skills drills, small-sided games and general class use where balls get plenty of wear.
It is not positioned as a match ball. If you need a ball for competition fixtures, look at the match-level options in the footballs category instead.
Sizing guide
The store's football size guide places size 4 with players aged 9 to 12 years. Younger players in the 4 to 8 year band are better served by a size 3, and players 13 years and over should move up to size 5.
Care, safety and set-up
Check pressure before each session and top up as needed. Store balls indoors and away from direct heat when not in use. As with all Sports Distributors products, this ball is covered by the store's 12-month guarantee.
