FAQ For Soccer Balls For Kids

Which soccer ball for kids?

Children are usually smaller than adults and can therefore play better with smaller and/or weight-reduced balls, depending on their age and individual characteristics. One should therefore always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take into account the individual development of the child.

Why do children run into the stadium with soccer balls?

In soccer, there are so-called “run-in children”, i.e. they accompany the players when they enter the field. This is often very special and exciting for children, because they can meet professional players or their favorite players up close and personally. Many children also find it great to step onto the huge playing field. Special jerseys from sponsors can be worn.

At what age can children join a soccer club?

Sports and exercise are healthy, and soccer in particular promotes stamina. It also promotes teamwork, which is another plus for kids. Many clubs have groups for children 6 and up, and groups tailored to toddlers are also becoming increasingly popular.

What do children need to play soccer?

The most important thing here is a suitable soccer ball. It would still be ideal if your child wore comfortable/sporty clothes. Knee pads can also be used if needed.

What do you have to know to play soccer?

Everyone who wants to can play soccer. It would be good if you have stamina and strength. For children, however, the main focus should be on fun and exercise.

Is soccer good for the body?

Soccer is a great cardiovascular exercise. It also improves endurance and motor skills. So it is a great sport.
