Full details
The Albion Football Size 4 is an ideal choice for school sports programs and recreational play, offering a durable construction that performs well on a variety of surfaces. While its 32-panel design provides excellent stability and consistent flight for developing players, it is specifically sized for younger athletes and may not meet the requirements for official adult-league competitive matches.

FAQs
Is this ball suitable for indoor gym floors?
Yes, the durable construction and dimple finish make it appropriate for hard court and gym floor use.
What is the recommended age for a Size 4 ball?
A size 4 ball is typically recommended for players between the ages of 8 and 12.
Does the ball come inflated?
To ensure safe shipping, the ball is usually delivered deflated and will require a standard ball pump.
Can I use this ball on concrete surfaces?
While it is durable, prolonged use on rough concrete will accelerate wear on the nylon casing compared to grass or turf.
How do I maintain the grip on the ball?
Keep the ball clean and dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for debris or a small tear. Ensure the inflation needle is not damaging the inner bladder.
Ball surface becomes slippery
Wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt build-up from the dimpled texture.
Ball is out of shape
Check that the ball was not left in extreme heat or compressed under heavy equipment for an extended period; occasionally, re-inflating may help return it to its round state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Albion Football, ensure it is inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically between 6-8 psi. Always use a lubricated needle when inflating to prevent damage to the valve. After use on mud or dirt, wipe the ball down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the nylon casing. When storing, keep the ball in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving it under heavy objects that could cause deformation.
