Private sales sport and lifestyle

Supporter or authentic shirt: the difference

Club and national team shirts usually come in two versions. The supporter version, which is looser fitting, is worn everyday as well as at the stadium and withstands repeated washes well. The authentic version, identical to what the players wear, is more fitted and lighter, with ventilated areas and heat-sealed badges: it fits closer to the body, so it's wise to choose a size up for a comfortable fit. Children's shirts follow the adult design, available in age-specific sizes. For printing, check the name and number before confirming, as personalisation is final.

By category and by brand

Private sales are organised by category:

• Football, shirts, shoes, and balls.
• Lifestyle, sneakers and clothing.
• Basketball.
• Handball / Volleyball, balls and court shoes.
• Racket sports.
• Combat sports.
• Brands, sorted by manufacturer.

Make the most of it

For a shirt, check the version, whether supporter or authentic, and the size; for shoes, measure the foot length in centimetres and ensure the sole type is suitable for the surface. A private sale is a great chance to equip a club or family, provided all necessary sizes are available. The categories football, running, lifestyle, equestrian on the site showcase the rest of the offer throughout the year.

The other operations

Private sales are in addition to other events: good deals, sales, Black Friday, French Days, promotions, new arrivals, shipped in 24h, as well as Christmas, Mother's Day and Back To School.

Handball Kempa or Hummel ball: size and use

A handball is first chosen by its size: size 3 for men, size 2 for women and boys aged around 12 to 16, sizes 1 and 0 for the youngest. The Kempa Spectrum Synergy Plus, a match ball with thirty panels, combines a very grippy polyurethane surface with a latex bladder that maintains its roundness; it can be used with or without resin. The Kempa Leo, which is very durable and lined with soft foam, is designed for training. The Hummel Classic Energizer, featuring a textured surface and wrapped bladder, supports young players during both training and matches.

Football: what size and weight according to age

The football comes in three main sizes. Size 3 is suitable for children up to eight years old, size 4 for players aged eight to twelve, and size 5, the standard size, from thirteen years old. A size 5 ball weighs between 410 and 450 grams depending on the rules of the game. The lighter versions, like the Hummel Inspire Club Lite, weigh significantly less for the same size: younger players can strike without fear and work on their technique without hurting themselves. For a club, it's wise to stock up on sturdy training balls, whether stitched or heat-sealed, along with a few match balls with a softer surface.

Frequently asked questions

How does an online private sale work?

A private sale offers a selection of items from a sport or a brand at reduced prices for a few days. It ends on the announced date or earlier if the planned quantities are sold out.

Can a purchase made in a private sale be cancelled?

Yes, like any distance sale, it grants a fourteen-day cancellation period starting from the receipt. However, the law excludes personalised items, such as a shirt printed with a name of a player.

Are the shirts offered in private sales official?

Yes, they are new, official shirts, often in colours or models from the previous season. They bear the same badges, the same tags, and the same quality of workmanship as those sold at regular prices.

How to choose the size of a child's shirt?

Children's shirts are indicated by age or size in centimetres: it’s best to rely on the child's actual stature rather than their age. A size up allows some room to grow, especially in the supporter version.

Why do some sizes disappear as soon as the sale opens?

The quantities of each model are set at the launch of the sale and are not restocked. Thus, the central sizes, M and L for a shirt or shoe sizes from 40 to 43, sell out first.
