Indoor sports on sale
The indoor sales bring together equipment for indoor sports: handballs, volleyballs, basketballs, non-marking sole shoes, knee pads, padel balls, resistance bands, and cushions for fitness and yoga. Club players, goalkeepers, volleyball players, and home practitioners can find models from Kempa, Select, Molten, Mikasa, Wilson, Errea, Mizuno, or Dunlop.
Indoor shoes, balls, and protective gear for the second half of the season or for getting back into it.
Handball: size according to age and resin play
The handball is chosen based on the size of the hand, thus the age. Size one, measuring about fifty centimetres in circumference, is suitable for girls aged eight to fourteen and boys aged eight to twelve; size two for women and boys aged twelve to sixteen; size three, from fifty-eight to sixty centimetres, for men. High-level balls designed for resin play, such as the Kempa Spectrum Synergy Plus or the Molten D60, provide a firm grip once coated, while beginner models focus on a soft cover that holds without glue. The supporter versions of the Champions League or French championship balls reflect the visuals of the competitions.
By sport
The indoor sales are organised by discipline:
Volley, basketball, padel: the right ball for each discipline
In volley-ball indoors, the official ball measures between sixty-five and sixty-seven centimetres in circumference and weighs two hundred sixty to two hundred eighty grams: the Mikasa V200W, approved by the international federation, and the Molten V5M5000 are two competition references. In basketball, size seven is for men, size six is for women, and size five is for children; the Wilson FIBA 3X3 ball follows the format for three-on-three play, with a size six circumference and a size seven weight. In padel, the balls resemble tennis balls but are slightly less pressurised, which slows down rallies against the walls.
The other sales
The sales also vary by universe: sneakers, football, running, lifestyle, outdoor, equestrian, on the sales page.
Indoor shoes and knee pads: protecting the supports
An indoor shoe combines a non-marking rubber that grips the floor without leaving traces and lateral support for direction changes. The adidas Stabil, designed for handball, enhances heel stability during receptions, while the Puma Eliminate Nitro focuses on the lightweight and responsive Nitro foam for explosive players. The knee pads, like the Errea Tokyo or Mizuno models, absorb the falls of volleyball players and the landings of handball goalkeepers. The Select compression shorts with integrated protection complete the outfit of goalkeepers, exposed to hip falls during every save.
Frequently asked questions
How to maintain indoor shoes?
Keep them for the court only: asphalt wears down the rubber and brings in dust that makes you slip. After the session, take them out of the bag to let them dry in the air, and wipe the sole with a damp cloth when the grip decreases.
What pressure to inflate a volley ball?
The international federation sets the pressure of an indoor volley ball between 0.30 and 0.325 kg per square centimetre. An over-inflated ball becomes hard and painful in reception, while an under-inflated ball loses its trajectory during service.
Is resin allowed in handball?
The handball regulations admit resin, but many venues prohibit or limit it, as it stains the floor. Check with your club; a specific cleaner can then remove any residues from hands and the ball.
Which resistance bands should I choose to start?
Resistance bands are classified by tension level, often indicated by a colour. Start with light tension, such as Power bands Sveltus light, to learn the movement, then move on to a stronger tension when fifteen repetitions become easy.
What is a yoga cushion for?
The meditation cushion, or zafu, raises the pelvis to keep the back straight while sitting, without tension in the knees or hips. The Lotuscrafts cushions, filled with plant balls, mould under body weight and are easy to carry to class.
