Get your kids on the right path of perfecting their soccer skills with our Rookie Gear soccer balls. The Spalding Rookie Gear soccer balls are specifically designed for children ages 8 and under and can be played indoors or outdoors. What makes these balls so special is that they weigh 25 percent less than standard youth-size balls. This means the ball will help improve your child's kicking, throw-in and goal tending mechanics. This ball is composed of a scuff-resistant composite cover that is machine stitched for hours of play and durability.
