Description
Overview
Classic white with contrast graphics, the Nike White Pitch 20 Ball is a size 3 football (soccer) for the youngest players in a school or club. Nike describes the 12-panel construction as durable and true in flight, and the rubber bladder keeps pressure and shape between PE sessions.
Buy one to trial or several for a class set. It sits in the regular footballs category alongside the other junior and senior balls, and is part of the Nike range Sports Distributors stocks in NZ.
Key benefits
- Contrast graphics on a white ball are easy to see on a crowded PE field.
- Predictable flight for learning to pass and shoot, from the 12-panel build.
- Fewer mid-session top-ups: the rubber bladder holds air pressure and shape.
- Outer built from rubber, polyurethane, polyester and EVA for training work.
Who it's for
Children aged 4 to 8, which is the size 3 band on the football sizing guide. That covers new-entrant and junior primary PE, holiday programmes and first-year club grades.
It is a training and recreational ball, so graduate players to a size 4 at 9 to 12 years and a size 5 at 13 and over, and use a match ball for fixtures.
Sizing guide
Size 3 is the smallest on the football sizing guide, listed for 4 to 8 years. Sizes 4 and 5 follow for 9 to 12 years and 13 years and over.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the ball inflated at playing pressure and out of direct heat, and give it a quick pressure check before each class. A damp cloth removes grass and mud from the white cover.
