Sport-Thieme "CoreX4Kids X-Light" Football

Sport-Thieme "CoreX Kids" football: weight-adjusted
The "CoreX Kids" is a junior football with reduced weight in sizes 4 and 5. As different ball sizes are used for different age groups, 3 versions are available. For U9 and U11 junior teams, with children aged between 7 and 10 years old, balls weighing 290 grams are used. For U11 and U12 youth teams, 11- and 12-year-olds play with 350-gram footballs. The balls’ weight is reduced, however their size is the same as the standard balls used by women’s and men’s teams. Children therefore become accustomed to the official match size at an early stage. At the same time though, they are playing with footballs where the weight has been adjusted to suit their strength, allowing them to gradually improve their capabilities. For really young footballers, there is a size-4 lightweight football weighing just 290 g.
