While you should take the thrower's hand size into consideration, the easiest way to determine which size football is best is by determining the average age of the player. Junior Footballs: Best for players ages 9-12. Youth Footballs: Best for players ages 12-14. Official Footballs: Best for players 14 and older.
Should I buy leather or composite football?
In general, for both recreational and competitive youth players, parents and coaches tend to purchase composite footballs for their children and teams, even though leather balls are available in these smaller sizes. Their soft feel and grip, and lower price point make them an excellent choice for all youth levels.
