Football Size Guide (Preview)

Sizing

How to choose the right football size

The right size comes down to age, league, and how you'll use it. Below, every ball is drawn to the same scale so you can see exactly how they compare. Note: our footballs are hand-made, so slight variation is normal.

Sizes shown are proportional to each other — not printed at actual inches.

Water sizing is intentionally forgiving — plenty of adults love the Mini in the pool, not just kids. Every Dime Lab ball shares the same DimeTack™ grip; only the Water balls are engineered for wet play. Still unsure? Contact us and we'll help you pick.
