choosing the right siZe BaLL
In general, ball sizes go by the age group
of play. Here’s a quick breakdown:
• Ages 8 and under - Size 3 Ball
• Ages 8 to 12 - Size 4 Ball
• Ages 13 and up - Size 5 Ball
choosing the right shinguards
Choosing the right size shinguards can be tough,
but there is a simple way to determine the right
length.
Measure the length of your shin and then multiply
by 0.75. The result is the maximum length
you should purchase. Any larger may cause
discomfort while playing.

aBout soccer cLeats
• As soccer continues to grow in the USA, more
elementary schools have added soccer to their
sports program.
• Dunham’s carries men’s, women’s and youth
soccer cleats in a wide range of price points from
Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Under Armour.
• Basic adult and youth Adidas and Nike soccer
shoes are carried in all stores, while more
advanced models are carried in limited stores.
• Everything in a soccer shoe is designed to give
the player the most feel for the ball.
• There is no toe cleat in soccer shoes; this
enables the player to get under the ball without
catching his shoe on the turf.
• The uppers do not have a very large toe box.
There isn’t any excess room in the toe area which
would lessen the feel for the ball.
• Uppers are usually made of leather or synthetic
leather. The synthetic material that is used in
soccer cleats is softer and more flexible than the
materials used in baseball cleats.
• Soccer shoes are built on a flat last. There is
little or no curvature in the sole – the sole is level
from front to back.
• The toe and ball of the foot area is smooth with
raised stitching for ball control.
• Molded plastic or nylon cleats are the most
common type of cleat used in soccer shoes due
to their low cost.
• Soccer shoes are reinforced along the sides of
the foot for durability in side to side motions.
