Hi everyone. Urgent help pls. Will this ball size be adequate for a 13 yr old? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes this youth size is a perfect size; a full size football would be too large for a 13 yr old to grip.

It's pretty small but would depend on the size of the 13 yr old. My kids at that age played with full size balls.

This ball will be great for playing in the yard with others, in my group the range from 9 yrs old,13 yrs old,2-15yrs old,21 yrs. old,46 yrs. old amd 50yrs old. They lost one down the drainpipe in the road close to the house. If this 13 yrs. old want to get into football as a serious sport, would probably want the other size.

Sorry for late answer,out of town. Ball is 12 inch,depends on daughters hand size,but might hard to grip. Strap will help,and it is more for memory. If she takes it slow might be okay. I had 3 pictchers in family,(2 girls,1 boy).8 might be too young.

No - I bought it for a 9 year old. High School Varsity is standard size fooball.

The ball I mentioned in my previous answer is no longer available I guess, it was the bigens sport fun ball. What a shame, it's a great ball.

A regulation ball will fit. My 4 year old uses a junior size and I toss around a regulation size when I am out with him.

It comes with a small ball that is good quality. My son uses tons of other ones, too. I don't think it's quite big enough for a standard ball, but very close.

My ball is a "Go Fit" and I think it is 65 cm. When I looked at it, the six is a little worn (the paint), but it is either a 55 or 65 and I"m betting 65 cm is kind of the standard. Mine fits perfectly and now I can use my ball for computer work or paper work and not worry about falling off, which I did a lot before. You can change positions, bounce, etc. It is GREAT. Susan

dear friend, I do use the ball once in a while, still is working but I have no idea how long it will last. This bold is still the coolest thing since sliced bread.

We really like this ball but it's definitely for kids just starting out in volleyball. I would get a regular volleyball for teens.

The size of the ball doesn't matter. It is the size of the shaft on the ball. A 2" ball is just fine, just make sure the shaft is the correct size.

Sorry. I am in NYC and the ball is in California. But, it is a very small ball. I would say the diameter is no more than 8 inches. My 20 month old grandson loves it.

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

I bought a youth small for my 12 year old. He's now thirteen and still uses it for shooting drills. Hope this helps!

Something close to 5 inches should work. My son was 8 when I gave him a 7 in., he could have gone a bit bigger, but it was fine. It also depends in the size if child. If close to average I wouldn't go bigger than a 5 inch ball. Hopefully this helps.

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.
