MikasaS3000 Rubber Soccer Ball (Size 5)

This is a pretty neat ball. It is essentially a playground style rubber ball (a la dodge-ball, four square, etc.), stylized as a soccer ball. I purchased this for two purposes: header practice and outdoor court use. We prefer Mikasa balls over Adidas and Nike balls for training.For header practice, this ball allows my son to practice his headers with lower impact than a regular soccer ball. It is heavy enough that it plays a lot like a regular soccer ball, but it isn't as hard as a properly inflated soccer ball.For outdoor court use, this ball is good on asphalt and concrete playing surfaces. This is a good ball for play against a wall (e.g. racquetball) or on a tennis court. It should hold up pretty well, I think.Highly recommended for the purposes I listed.

Exactly what I was expecting/ wanting 10/10

Nice ball. My boys love it.

Not a real soccer ball

This ball works just like a normal mikasa ball should, but since it's rubber it's not gonna "glide" as easily on surfaces like flatground, and sometimes it might get like "stuck" because of it. Also some people that I play with say it's too bouncy but I think it's just fine, I would 10/10 reccomend for this price.

I have tried 5 times and failed 5 times until I found Mikasa Soccer ball. Why? the other ones either looses air or just outright bust while not in use and stored at home in normal room temperature. But this one has surpassed my expectations for a very strong rubber ball. Because its rubber, I thought it would not last because I play it on very rough surface sometimes. Its withstood it all. I also like that if it gets dirty you can wash dirt away from it easily even after 1 week. I am convinced, its best all weather soccer ball.
