Beach soccer balls

Soft and water-resistant for barefoot play on sand

Beach soccer balls

Beach soccer is played barefoot on sand: the ball has to be softer and gentler on the touch to avoid hurting the foot. It's a unique constraint, and it explains why a field ball is completely unsuited to the beach.

Soft and light on the touch

A beach ball's casing is softer, and it's inflated to a lower pressure than a field ball. The result: it cushions barefoot contact instead of bruising it, while keeping enough structure to be struck properly.

Water-repellent, because sand is damp

A water-repellent treatment keeps the ball from getting heavier on contact with water and wet sand. Without it, the ball quickly turns heavy and unpredictable — the classic problem when you use an ordinary ball at the beach.

Visibility on sand

Bright colours aren't just aesthetic: on pale sand in full sun, a light-coloured ball becomes hard to track. That's why most beach soccer balls go with contrasting tones.

Size and use

Official beach soccer is played with size 5. It's also the perfect ball for vacations, beach tournaments and pickup games — a use where softness matters as much as performance.

Why do you need a specific ball for beach soccer?
Because it's played barefoot. The ball has to be softer and inflated to a lower pressure to cushion barefoot contact instead of bruising it, while keeping enough structure to be struck properly.

Why are beach balls water-repellent?
So they don't get heavier on contact with water and wet sand. Without a water-repellent treatment, a ball quickly turns heavy and unpredictable — the classic problem when you bring an ordinary ball to the beach.

What size for beach soccer?
Size 5, same as field soccer from age 13 up. The difference isn't in the size but in the softness, the inflation pressure and the surface treatment.

Can you use a field ball on sand?
Not recommended if you're playing barefoot: a field ball at normal pressure hurts the foot. It will also soak up water and sand, which makes it heavy and damages it.

Why are the colours so bright?
It isn't just aesthetic. On pale sand in full sun, a light-coloured ball becomes hard to track visually. Contrasting tones genuinely improve visibility during play.
