CHAMPRO Kansai Thermal Bonded Soccer Ball
CHAMPRO is known for being an industry leader across multiple sports, including soccer, and for their exceptional products at affordable prices, and the CHAMPRO Kansai Thermal Bonded Soccer Ball is no exception! Ideal for high school and college games, this soccer ball is constructed with thermally bound panels for minimal water retention and expansion, so that it won’t get warped or bogged down during games or practices. Its polyurethane cover, combined with a woven carcass, allows for a rounder ball and straighter flight, and its textured grip improves a player’s control, accuracy, and handling of the ball, particularly in wet conditions. While a perfectly smooth ball might travel faster, the texture is engineered to provide a more predictable and stable flight path. It’s covered in a 4.5 millimeter, EVA foam that’s made from a thermo plastic elastomer that gives this soccer ball a soft, yet responsive, feel on the field. The foam has a single layer polyester shell on it, and this soccer ball features a butyl bladder that will help inflating and deflating it a breeze. With its 32 panel construction, its 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal panels will create a more spherical shape, which helps improve players’ control, accuracy, and flight stability due to allowing air to flow more consistently over the ball, which results in more predictable flight paths and reduced drag. Size 5 of this soccer ball is NFHS approved.

CHAMPRO Volare Thermal Bonded Soccer Ball
Known for being an industry leader across multiple sports, including soccer, CHAMPRO has exceptional prices at affordable prices, and the CHAMPRO Volare Thermal Bonded Soccer Ball is no exception! Ideal for high school and college games, this soccer ball is constructed with a hybrid thermal-bonded thermoplastic polyurethane cover for minimal water retention and expansion, so that it won’t get warped or bogged down during games or practices. It features a textured grip that improves players’ control, accuracy, and handling of the ball, particularly in wet conditions. While a perfectly smooth ball might travel faster, the texture is engineered to provide a more predictable and stable flight path. Backed with a 3 millimeter, EVA Foam that’s made from thermo plastic elastomers, this soccer ball has a soft, yet responsive, feel on the field. The foam has a single layer polyester shell on it, and features a butyl bladder that will help make inflating and deflating a breeze. With its 18 panel construction, this soccer ball offers a more predictable and stable flight path compared to balls with fewer panels, because the reduced number of seams results in less air resistance and a more consistent, aerodynamic surface. This construction is ideal for players who want a ball with more stable and accurate flight for passing and shooting, rather than a ball with more “swerve”. In addition to this, fewer seams can contribute to a stronger and more durable ball that is less likely to warp over time. While 32 panel balls are common in professional matches for their near perfect shape, 18 panel balls are a great choice for training and practice, where stable and consistent flight is more important. Size 5 of this soccer ball is NFHS approved.

CHAMPRO is known for being an industry leader across multiple sports, including soccer, and for their exceptional products at affordable prices, and the CHAMPRO Fury Hand Stitched Soccer Ball is no exception! Ideal for high school and college games, this soccer ball is constructed with a premium, hand stitched, durable polyurethane/PVC pearl cover that offers a combination of high performance characteristics and resilience, including superior feel, excellent shape retention, and long-lasting playability. Some benefits of the polyurethane/PVC composite material are a high level or responsiveness and elasticity that offers excellent resistance to tears and general wear, weather resistance that can withstand various playing conditions (unlike pure PVC balls that can harden and perform poorly in cold weather), and strong water proofing that ensures the ball will maintain its consistent weight and feel when playing in wet conditions. Its “pearl” finish isn’t just for looks; it has functional advantages that enhance playability as well, such as increased visibility for players and spectators (especially in low-light conditions) and consistent friction that is designed to create a specific, predictable reaction. With a 4 ply cotton lining, this soccer ball will keep its shape while remaining extremely durable, so that it won’t fall apart or deflate during a game or practice, even with heavy use.

CHAMPRO Maverick Machine Stitched Soccer Ball
Known for being an industry leader across multiple sports, including soccer, CHAMPRO has exceptional prices at affordable prices, and the CHAMPRO Maverick Machine Stitched Soccer Ball is no exception! Ideal for high school and youth leagues, this soccer ball is constructed with a machine stitched, matte finished synthetic leather cover that offers a combination of durability, consistent performance, and a cost-effectiveness. While hand-stitched soccer balls can be very strong, machine stitching provides a uniform and consistent stitch pattern that gives it better durability, making it less prone to breaking under normal use. Machine stitching also has a softer feel for younger players due to its shallower seams and lighter construction, making it easier for young players to head an control, which reduces the risk of injury. In addition to these benefits, machine stitched soccer balls are more affordable. The synthetic leather is weather resistant, unlike natural leather, and won’t absorb water during wet conditions, ensuring that the ball maintains its weight and performance in all types of weather, and it also has consistent performance and extremely durable while being lower maintenance than a hand-stitched soccer ball, giving it a reliable and consistent touch, flight, and rebound. A reduced visual glare due to the synthetic leather cover will help players track the ball more easily when it’s bright outside compared to glossy or shiny soccer balls, and the synthetic leather also offers better grip and control than a soccer ball with a glossy finish, which allows for better handling in all conditions. Backed with a dual layer polyester, this soccer ball will keep its shape while remaining extremely durable, and with its air-lock butyl bladder, inflation and deflation has never been easier. With the air-lock feature, you’ll be able to seal in air, saving you time and hassle. With its 32 panel construction, its 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal panels will create a more spherical shape, which helps improve players’ control, accuracy, and flight stability due to allowing air to flow more consistently over the ball, which results in more predictable flight paths and reduced drag.

CHAMPRO Renegade Machine Stitched Soccer Ball
CHAMPRO is known for being an industry leader across multiple sports, including soccer, and for their exceptional products at affordable prices, and the CHAMPRO Renegade Machine Stitched Soccer Ball is no exception! Ideal for recreation or youth practice, this soccer ball is constructed with a machine stitched, shiny PVC synthetic leather combination cover that offers a combination of durability, consistent performance, and a cost-effectiveness.

The PVC side of this combination is a touch, low-maintenance material that’s highly resistant to abrasion and can withstand play on hard surfaces, such as concrete, making it a great choice for street or backyard soccer. It also offers both a better visual appeal from its shiny finish and eye-catching appearance and easier control for players due to its glossy finish that reduces scuffing and in turn can result in better grip and feel on the ball.
