Franklin Sports 5010 Football

This is a Junior-sized football, which is specifically designed for players aged 9 to 11. It is slightly smaller than a standard adult ball, making it easier for younger players to grip, throw, and catch comfortably.

The football typically arrives deflated to ensure it stays in optimal condition during transit. You will need a standard ball pump with a needle to inflate it before the first use.

The deep-pebble texture creates a tackier surface, which significantly improves grip. This helps younger players maintain control of the ball, especially when their hands are smaller or when playing in damp conditions.

This ball is primarily designed for practice, recreational play, and skill development. While it is durable, you should check with your specific league's regulations, as they often require official game balls with specific branding or construction standards.

The included multi-position kicking tee allows players to practice field goals and kickoffs at different angles. It is a helpful tool for developing fundamental kicking mechanics without needing a partner to hold the ball.
