Derbystar Solaris

Specifications of the Derbystar Solaris

The Derbystar Solaris is designed for young footballers and meets all the expectations of a modern training ball. Several variants are available, including the Super Light and Light versions. These versions differ primarily in weight: the Super Light weighs 290 grams and is ideal for the youngest players, while the Light goes up to 370 grams. Both models are hand-stitched and made from durable PU material. This ensures long-lasting use, even during intensive training sessions.

All Solaris variants comply with KNVB guidelines for youth football. This means that as a coach or parent, you can be confident that you're choosing a ball that matches the player's age and motor skills. The ball has a textured surface that provides consistent grip in all conditions. Whether training on artificial turf or a wet natural grass field, this ball maintains its shape and balance.

Benefits for young players

The Solaris is specifically tailored to the development of youth players. Thanks to its light weight and well-balanced construction, young players can more easily kick, receive, and dribble the ball. This not only boosts ball control but also increases confidence in the game.

The ball’s consistent flight behavior contributes to realistic match experiences even during training. The durable PU material prevents deformation. Players can count on stable performance regardless of the weather. This reliability enhances enjoyment and allows players to focus on their technique rather than adjusting for ball inconsistencies.

Age categories and recommendations

The Derbystar Solaris variant you choose depends on the player’s age. For players in the U7 to U10 age group, the Solaris Super Light with a weight of 290 grams is the most suitable. This ball is tailored to the lower strength and speed of younger players, making it easier to learn through play.

For the U11 to U15 groups, the Solaris Light is a great choice. With a weight of up to 370 grams, this ball is heavier than the Super Light but still lighter than an official adult match ball. All variants meet the KNVB ball standards. Players can train under match-like conditions.

Suitable for training and development

The Derbystar Solaris is ideally suited for training sessions focused on technique and ball control. Thanks to its wear-resistant design, the ball maintains its quality even with daily use in team settings. This allows players to consistently work on their skills with a ball that performs reliably.

For clubs and associations, multiple models are also available in sets. This makes organizing team training sessions easier. The long-lasting ease of use and dependable characteristics make the Solaris a valuable choice for every youth division.
