Big Game's competitive footballs are the exact dimensions set down by the NCAA – approximately 10.5 to 11.5 inches in length, with a circumference of roughly 28 inches on the long side of the ball and 21 inches on the short side.For children under 8, choose a size 4 ball, for children ages 8 to 12 a size 4, and a ball size 5 for children over 12 years. The ball size is written on the ball. If you do regular training and matches, you need a durable ball that will stay well inflated and provide extra playing comfort.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the governing body that writes the rules of soccer, states that a field must be rectangular and marked with continuous lines. A full-size pitch may be anywhere from 50-100 yards in width and 100-130 yards in length.

helium (He) is the gas that when you inhale it, it makes your voice higher. Also, helium is much lighter than air, so the coach wants to know if they can kick the ball farther if it is filled with helium.
Can helium filled footballs be kicked farther than air filled balls?

Although all college footballs have stripes, the balls vary a bit from team to team. That's unlike the consistency of the NFL, where every team gets the same ball. If a college program so chooses, it could use a ball that more closely resembles the NFL's in size.

The difference between high school and college footballs is negligible. Each Big Game college football is customized to the quarterback's unique preferences. All footballs, however, must fall within the guidelines set forth by the NCAA.
