Soccer Lightweight Ball changes in 2026
Starting in 2026, Lightweight Soccer will be moving to a new IR Ball. The key difference with this ball is the size change from 74mm to 42mm diameter, which is the same size as the Open League’s passive ball.
This ball is Open-Source, so anyone can produce one from the files & instructions on the GitHub Page.
Entry Leagues will continue to use the large infrared ball from EK Japan. For advice as to how to order soccer balls, contact the Soccer Committee for advice.
