Product Description

Premium Size 5 PUL Soccer Ball with Pump and Needles

Same great soccer ball. More elaborate designs.
Our Specialty Print Soccer Balls feature the same construction and quality as our other Size 5 soccer balls, but use more complex, higher-cost printing processes to create these vibrant specialty designs.

Built for Real Play on Rough Terrain

Give kids a real soccer ball that is built for rougher play conditions — not a thin “picture ball” that looks nice but fails quickly. This Premium Size 5 PUL Soccer Ball is designed for older youth, schools, sports ministries, church outreach programs, mission projects, and 10–14 year-old shoebox recipients.

Each ball comes pre-rolled and shrink wrapped for shoebox packing and includes a compact pump plus 2 inflation needles stored inside the pump handle. It is a strong choice for Shoeboxes-style shoebox gifts, youth soccer programs, and bulk donation projects where one durable ball may be shared by many children.

Note: Lion Wholesale discontinued the use of rubberbanding the soccerballs due to the indentation the rubber bands left on the balls.  While they do eventually fill out, we wanted the ball to be in pristine shape the first time the child inflates it. We now use shrink wrap and secure it with tape or a sticker if it is a QR coded ball. 

Why This Ball Is Different

  • scannable QR Code that leads to: The Bible app downloadable in thousands of languages, the Jesus film, christian resources, testimonies, videos and more in many languages. Note: 70% of the world has cell phones. 
  • Premium PUL cover: thicker construction designed to better handle rocky fields, hard-packed dirt, concrete, and uneven ground.
  • Full-size Size 5 soccer ball: a better fit for older children, teens, schools, clubs, and sports ministries.
  • 2-ply butyl bladder: helps the ball hold air longer with fewer re-inflations.
  • Machine-stitched panels: supports better shape retention, bounce, and regular play.
  • Softer, grippier touch: better feel than many thin PVC novelty or “picture” balls.
  • Shoebox-ready packing: each ball is pre-rolled and banded to save volunteers time during packing parties.

Best Uses

  • Shoeboxes for 10–14 year-old recipients
  • Church packing parties and bulk shoebox projects
  • Sports ministry outreach and mission trips
  • Schools, clubs, and community soccer programs
  • Donation projects where one high-quality ball may be used by many kids

Why Shoebox Packers Choose This Ball

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ – Size 5 PUL Soccer Balls

Q: Are your Size 5 soccer balls truly made from PUL?

A: Yes. Our Size 5 balls use a 3.5 mm PUL (PU laminate) cover, and we have had the material third-party tested by Eurofins, a respected global laboratory. The lab confirmed the material is polyurethane (PU) — the correct material for PUL construction.

For full transparency, the test report is publicly available:

Q: Why does PUL matter for a Size 5 ball?

A: PUL gives a softer strike, better grip, cleaner control, and stronger abrasion resistance than thin PVC or vinyl balls. For older kids, teens, and adults, PUL delivers a noticeably better playing experience — especially during active or competitive play.

Q: How does your PUL ball compare to typical market balls?

A: Many Size 5 balls in discount stores use 1.6 mm PVC or vinyl printed to look like a soccer ball. These tend to lose shape, scuff quickly, and deflate faster.

Our Size 5 balls use a 3.5 mm PUL cover and machine-stitched panels, built for real-world use in schools, clubs, parks, and ministry fields where kids play hard and often.

Q: What is the benefit of the 2-ply butyl bladder?

A: A 2-ply butyl bladder provides:


  • Longer air retention

  • Better bounce consistency

  • Improved shape stability

  • Fewer re-inflations needed

    This matters in global ministry settings where pumps may not always be available.

Q: Are these soccer balls good for outdoor fields?

A: Yes. The thick 3.5 mm PUL cover and reinforced construction hold up well on rougher terrain — dirt, uneven patches, hard ground, and mixed surfaces often found in international play.

Q: Do the Size 5 PUL balls come inflated?

A: No. All balls ship deflated to protect them during transit and for easier storage and distribution.

Q: Do your PUL balls come with a pump?

A: Yes. Every ball includes a compact hand pump, and the handle safely stores two needles to keep everything together for packing and travel.

Q: How do these compare to your 2.7 mm PVC balls?

A: Our 2.7 mm PVC balls (Size 4) are much thicker and more durable than the common 1.6 mm PVC balls on the market. They’re an excellent, budget-wise option for outreach and OCC shoeboxes, and they hold up well in outdoor play.

Our Size 5 PUL balls go further — offering a better playing feel, longer air retention, and stronger long-term performance — making them ideal for older players and consistent ministry programs.

Q: What age group should use a Size 5 ball?

A: Size 5 is recommended for ages 10 and older, following global soccer standards.
