The Tachikara Soccer Ball is the perfect choice for recreation and practice. This 32-panel black and white ball features a rubber cover with yarn-wound construction for extra durability. This model also has a strong butyl bladder. The regulation-size ball is recommended for advanced soccer players, ages 12 and up. Established in 1915 and incorporated five years later, Tachikara is a world leader in advanced, innovative design and manufacturing of athletic balls. The company revolutionized the sporting goods industry in 1952 with technology capable of producing seamless balls, and again in the years that followed with its patented Loose Bladder Construction method, which allows a layer of air to circulate between the inside bladder and outside cover. The resulting precision-balanced ball, first introduced in competition at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, affords truer flight and a superior soft touch. In 2003, Tachikara proudly introduced another pair of innovations. The Dual Bladder Construction offers greater durability and improved control and flight, and Sensi-Tec materials improve upon their predecessors. Named for the god of power in Japanese mythology, Tachikara is committed to cutting-edge design, manufacture, and materials. Tachikara offers avid players innovative and premium-quality products at excellent value. * Rugged yarn-wound construction * 22.8-, 24.4-, or regulation 26.8-inch circumference * Weighs 10.5 to 15.9 oz. * Durable rubber butyl bladder * Stitched 32-panel design in classic black and white * Choose between junior, intermediate, and standard sizes
