I need to buy 14 balls for my u10 soccer team. I am looking for the best bang for the buck. They will only be used for training. I already have some quality game balls.

I don't want to spend 50 dollars a ball, but want a decent quality ball that will last at least 2-3 years.

I usually buy the cheaper ones for my son but he goes through balls like a queer in a gay pride parade (soccer board joke). I went to academy and bought the most expensive one and there are already panels coming off after 3 months. All suggestions are appreciated.

sadly i lol'd.

as for your question, unfortunately i'm unable to help...which is funny considering that being an aggy fan and choosing premium balls tend to go hand-in-hand.

No, I'd never have a u-10 use a size 5. I was thinking size 3 for some of them.

I know about Eurosport but I am asking for recommendations on decent quality balls. Most of those balls are probably hard as a rock.

Always preferred adidas gliders because they're softer than most cheap soccer balls. But that was back in the day when that age could head the ball.

Probably still a good idea. I've seen a good coach tell his kids to go ahead and use their head if they're inclined to do so and let the ref call it. Gets them ready for when they can head the ball in a game at an older age and not have play stopped.

Soccer.com sells all sorts of ball packs.

https://www.soccer.com/shop/details/select-diamond-soccer-ball-blue-12-pack_A79937

Most practice balls go to shite anyway, but this is a year to year purchase. You just don't want to have to air them up every practice, though my son's coach does anyway. My boy's moving to a 5 (officially), so he's always after match balls now.
