Thirty minutes per half, seven players per team and a size 3 ball: in the men's French championship, we play with the LNH ball, which this page offers in match and supporter versions.
The two are available individually or in sets of three, five or ten, for a player who wants the ball from their championship or for a club that outfits an entire team.
The Ultimate from Select is the match ball in the colours of the LNH, in white and blue. It's a high-end ball with a precise touch, designed for competition and play with resin. The downside of this quality: used in every training session, it wears out faster than a training ball.
The supporter version features the design of the match ball, in white. It is used for training, casual play, and for fans who want the ball of their championship without wearing out a match ball during sessions.
Both versions are available in sets. The set of three is handy for a coach or a goalkeeper working with a small group, the set of five supports a shooting workshop, and the set of ten allows an entire group to play with the same ball. A club can combine a set of supporter versions for the week and some match balls for the weekend.
The ball is just part of the LNH shop. The LNH jerseys and LNH shorts complete the outfit in the championship colours.
Discounts on balls can be found in the special offers on balls. At the end of autumn, the Black Friday balls page takes over, followed by the sales on balls.
The available size is indicated on the details of each ball. Size 3 is for men aged 16 and over, size 2 is for women and boys aged 12 to 16: choose according to the player's category.
Both belong to the Ultimate family from Select, but each has the colours of its competition. The choice mainly depends on the championship you follow.
Clean the resin after each use with a product meant for balls, and store it in a bag, out of heat. Don't leave it under-inflated: it deforms faster.
The recommended pressure is marked on the ball, usually near the valve. Use a moist needle and a gauge to avoid exceeding the indicated value.
Only if the available size matches their category. Boys aged 8 to 12 and girls aged 8 to 14 play in size 1, which is smaller and lighter.
