FAQ

What size of soccer ball should I get?

To determine how big a soccer ball you will need, measure yourself. To do this, stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. A tape measure can be used to measure the circumference of your chest below your armpits. This measurement represents the circumference of your torso. Divide this number and multiply it with 5. If your chest measures 40 inches in diameter, multiply this number by 2 and multiply it by 5. That is the circumference of a sphere with a diameter of 20 inches. This formula allows you to determine the approximate size of the ball.
