It is essential to get the right rugby ball from a sporting goods store in the first place, And then as and when you have got one, you need to maintain it properly. Remember, a quality rugby training ball lasts for long, when maintained properly. Here is a quick account of the ways to maintain your Size 4 AFL Women’s Ball as any other rugby training ball.
Keeping the ball dry and clean
It is imperative to clean your rugby training ball after every use. It helps in elimination of dirt, dust, mud from the ball surface. To perform the cleaning, you need to dab some moisture onto a piece of cloth. Remember, you must use plain and simple water. Do not use any harsh chemicals since they can inflict damage to the surface of the ball, depending on the material it is made of. It is advisable to use lukewarm water and a mild soap for the best and quick results.
At first, you need to run the moist cloth gently on the surface of the ball to remove all the visible dirt, mud and dust. Treat every inch of the ball with equal care, and give special emphasis on the seams as mud, dust and dirt tend to get underneath the seams, damaging them in the long run. People have a tendency of overlooking seams and they continue to have the remnants of all the dust and dirt. When it comes to removing the stains of dried mud, which are more stubborn you might need gentle brushing. However, be sure not to damage the surface and more so, the seams.
Dry the Ball Once The Cleaning Is Done
Now comes the stage of drying the ball. You must follow the proper ways of drying. Remember, correct drying of your AFL training equipment is as vital as cleaning it. Allow the ball to dry in natural air, if available. The ball needs to be placed in an open space or in a room that has enough ventilation. However, it is advisable to keep them away from direct sources of heat like bright sunlight or radiators. Direct exposure to high temperatures for a long time might cause deformation of the ball, which may impair its functioning.
Properly inflate and deflate the ball
It is imperative that you inflate your ball to the manufacturer’s suggested pressure, to guarantee maximum durability. The best method that you can adopt is ensuring that the ball achieves maximum durability. The best method to ensure that your rugby training ball achieves the proper pressure is using a pump with a pressure gauge attached. The ball will perform better and will last longer when it has proper pressure.
An overinflated ball will have weakened resilience as excessive pressure will damage its interior bladder and seams. An underinflated ball, on the other hand, will reduce the quality of your training.
