New balls, please


The Indiana High School Athletic Association has announced that it is to use a new ball for the 2010 state tournament.

With memories of the Adidas Jabulani’s unpredictability still fresh in our minds after South Africa, one can only wonder how the Wilson Ultimo Premium NCAA match soccer ball will perform. Or, rather, how players will deal with it.

The 32-panel, hand-sewn construction is “layered with elastic spandex and soft foam for power and control,” which is expected to enhance performance and consistency. It is approved for collegiate and National Federation of State High School associations.
