Senda Belem Training Futsal Ball: For futsal training and matches, parents should be looking for a ball that is both durable and can withstand both indoor and outdoor conditions (although thought of as specifically an indoor sport, many futsal courts are actually outside). Senda’s Belem is specifically built to be played in all conditions with a reinforced bladder, which also helps retain air better. The foam backing also allows for better grip on softer touches.

Vizari Tocar Futsal Ball: The Vizari is unique from most futsal balls in that it is hand-stitched as opposed to machine stitched. The stitching, coupled with its multi-layered lamination, allows for better ball control and a higher level protection from wear and tear. The bladder is also made of a non-woven matted material with wool, which helps limit the amount of bouncing on hardwood and indoor surfaces.
