“I went on a Street Soccer tour in Africa last summer, and this ball would have been perfect everywhere we went in Africa! Also I think it is perfect for children everywhere in schools, leisure places, private. I remember having lots of deflated plastic balls—I should have had a One World Futbol instead!”
—Michael Toft, freestyle football & street soccer performer
“Where I come from, we don’t play on grass–playing on grass is for professionals. We usually play in the parking lot, or on dirt, so when we play with a regular ball, when you play on the tar (pavement) it actually scratches it, and you end up with a ball not having the leather on it. Also, with a regular ball, one nail, a barbed wire fence, and it was game over right then and there. This ball has the weight, size, and best material for all-terrain soccer games. It’s actually kind of perfect and makes it easy to have the ball longer.”
- Desi Touré, SF Vikings, NorCal Athletics 8v8 Men’s League, (originally from the Côte d’Ivoire), Oakland, CA
“It’s awesome…It never pops…never deflates…And it’s shiny and blue.”
- Maile, Makana, and Ke’ale Young, 8-year-old triplets, U-9 Bay Oaks (class I competitive)
“I’m just tired of using a pump and of balls going flat. Last week my ball got run over by a car, I bought another one and then that one got popped. I’m tired of them deflating and having to buy a new one. This ball is great. I definitely like the idea of a ball that you don’t have to pump up.”
- Trey Young, U-16 Montclair Clippers (competitive), Oakland, CA
“We go through [a lot of] balls back home… The balls we used to have were, I want to say almost like plastic balls. They were very bouncy, and if it touches something sharp, ‘boom’, you’re done. You have to go buy another ball. So this would have been perfect for us to play with, because you know you’re not going to have to go buy another one anytime soon, unless you purposely try to destroy it. It’s pretty cool, I like it. It’s definitely for all terrain. And you can play really well with sneakers or cleats. It’s good stuff.”
- Jean-Luc, SF Vikings, NorCal Athletics 8v8 Men’s League, (originally from the Côte d’Ivoire), Oakland, CA
“The ball is so awesome, minus the annoying needle and pump.”
- Henry Smith, 9 years old, U-10 Bay Oaks (class I competitive), Oakland, CA
“In school and on weekends I have used the ball on tarmac and grass, and the ball coped brilliantly, the ball had no dents or skid marks caused by the surface. The ball has also been blasted up against fences and walls, which were used for goals, and still the ball coped well, the thick material is the best attribute for this. The ball has been kicked by a group of 14 yr olds for roughly between 14-15 hrs, and has maintained its shape and texture.”
- Aaron Rodriguez, age 13—an avid soccer player in England
