FUTSAL BALL

Futsal ball is made by leather or of a synthetic matter. It is smaller than the traditional soccer ball (size 3 for less than thirteen years, cuts 4 for the seniors) and rebounds very little. Futsal ball are specific because they allow, of share their weak rebound (due to a low pressure and several layers between the room and surface), to allow a play on the ground, more technical. The surface of the futsal ball is also rougher, in order to offer a better adherence in contact with the shoe.

The control of this futsal ball can be done only with a little experiment and practice on the surfaces varied, which offer, in addition to the particular behavior of this balloon, of the significant variations, according to whether one plays on parquet floor or a synthetic surface, or on the concrete.


Some people are still getting it wrong when comparing a futsal ball with the outdoor or normal soccer ball. The futsal ball is not heavier. It's the same weight as the outdoor ball, and, for international play, is only one size smaller in circumference.


The futsal ball is designed to have 30 percent less bounce, but its weight is actually the same as the outdoor ball or normal football ball. The outdoor ball is a size five and has a weight of between 410 and 450 grams. The futsal ball is a size four and has a weight of 400 to 440 grams. The futsal ball's maximum allowed weight is actually less than the outdoor ball.

Below are sample of futsal balls that are being used in an indoor pitch.
