• Surface or cover (synthetic leather)

• Internal Linings (Polyester or Cotton)
• Bladder (Latex or Butyl)

The surface of soccer balls or coverings are made up from synthetic leather. There are many variations of leather used in the construction of soccer balls. They range from AI-2000, Japanese Cordley, Korean Ducksung, PU and Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC). Best soccer balls used in competition and by professionals are produced by using AI-2000, Cordley, Ducksung or PU synthetic leather. Promotional soccer balls or practice balls are usually constructed with Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC).

Material thickness plays a vital part in the quality of hand-sewn soccer balls. Multiple layers of lining are placed between the cover and the bladder. These layers are composed of polyester or cotton. Professional soccer balls usually have four layers of lining. Promotional or practice balls are often constructed with less layers of lining. 

The bladder in a soccer ball holds the air. Compared to latex bladders, butyl bladders retain air for longer periods of time. Arguably the latex bladders provide better surface tension. Please note that all promotional and club level balls are fitted with a latex bladder. There is an additional thirty cent ($0.30) charge per ball if you choose to have the butyl bladder in customized balls.

Size 5 Ages 12 and up
