Football balls Hummel

What is the Hummel ball range?

Hummel is a Danish brand historically linked to handball and football, known for its distinctive chevron. Its range of footballs covers various uses: daily training, matches, and other activities like indoor football. The Hummel balls come in different sizes to cater to players of all ages, from the youngest to seniors.

On this page, you'll find the selection of Hummel balls available at Foot-Store, which you can compare based on your intended use.

How to choose your Hummel ball based on use?

The choice of a ball primarily depends on its main use. A training ball should withstand frequent use and various surfaces, while a match ball focuses on trajectory precision and hitting comfort. Size is also crucial: a size 5 is suitable for players from adolescence, size 4 for younger categories, and size 3 for the smallest or for beginners.

If you mainly play outdoors on synthetic or natural turf, a classic ball will do. For indoor practice, a specific futsal ball, which is heavier and less bouncy, is better suited for that type of surface.

When should you change a football?

A ball should be changed when its outer layer wears out, cracks, or loses its waterproofness, which affects trajectory and comfort. Regular use outdoors wears out a ball faster than occasional use indoors. This is also a good time to reconsider the size used if the player has grown, particularly for youth categories moving from a size 3 to a size 4, and then to a size 5.

Frequently asked questions

What size of Hummel ball should be chosen for a child?

The choice depends on the player's age: a size 3 is generally suitable up to 8-9 years, a size 4 for intermediate categories, and a size 5 from adolescence onwards. Check the age indications given on the product page of each ball before purchase.

Can a Hummel training ball be used in a match?

A training ball can technically be used in a friendly match, but it is designed to withstand intensive use rather than provide the trajectory precision sought in competitions. For an official match, a dedicated match ball is still preferable.

Are Hummel balls suitable for futsal?

This depends on the model: a classic outdoor football is not suitable for indoor play, as it bounces too much and slides on that type of surface. You should opt for a ball specifically designed for futsal if you mainly play indoors.

How to care for a Hummel ball to make it last?

It is advisable not to leave a ball outdoors in the rain or under prolonged sunlight, and to regularly check its air pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Storing it in a dry place between uses also limits premature wear of the outer layer.

Are there Hummel balls with a club-specific design?

The availability of balls featuring a club's branding depends on the current collections and the catalogue at the time of your visit. Check directly the selection of Hummel balls present on this page to see the models currently offered.
