FAQs

Does the ball come with a pump?

No, the Mitre Mini Flare Ball is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or needle.

Can this be used for competitive matches?

No, this is a size 1 mini ball intended for training, recreation, and skill development, not for regulation competitive matches.

Is it safe for indoor use?

While the ball is lightweight, it is designed for outdoor surfaces like grass and Astro. Indoor use depends on your available space and floor type.

How do I clean the ball?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using chemical solvents or abrasive brushes.

Is the ball machine washable?

No, you should never submerge the ball in water or place it in a washing machine, as this will damage the internal bladder and stitching.

Troubleshooting

Ball is losing air rapidly

Ensure the inflation needle is not damaged and that the valve is clear of debris. You may need to apply a drop of valve oil or water to the needle to ensure a proper seal.

Needle won't enter the valve

Ensure you are using a standard ball inflation needle. If it feels stuck, moisten the tip of the needle with a little water to reduce friction.

Visible gaps between panels

While machine-stitched balls are durable, excessive over-inflation can stress the stitching. Check that the ball is not inflated beyond its recommended pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Perfect size for developing junior football skills
  • Suitable for various playing surfaces including Astro
  • Durable machine-stitched panel construction
  • Lightweight and portable for park or garden use

  • Supplied deflated, requires a ball pump
  • Size 1 is not regulation size for competitive matches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Mitre Mini Flare Ball, you must first inflate it using a standard sports ball pump with an inflation needle. Insert the needle gently into the valve, being careful not to push through to the other side of the bladder. Once inflated, the ball is ready for use on any standard football surface. To maintain the life of the ball, store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use. If the ball becomes muddy after playing on grass, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and let it air dry; do not submerge it in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
