Derbystar Classic AG Light II – Artificial Grass Football

Durable, lightweight Derbystar football designed for artificial grass, featuring a 360–380g weight, size L5, a high-quality PU cover and a 3D diamond texture for stable flight characteristics.

The Derbystar Classic AG Light II is a high-quality, lightweight football specifically developed for playing on artificial grass pitches.

Its extra wear-resistant outer layer, durable polyurethane (PU) material and distinctive 3D diamond surface make it an excellent choice for intensive football training.

Weighing 360 to 380 grams, this football is lighter than a standard adult size 5 ball. Derbystar recommends the Classic AG Light II for young footballers in the Under-11 to Under-15 age groups.

The striking Yellow/Royal colourway provides excellent visibility on the football pitch.

An excellent option for youth football teams, clubs, coaches and goalkeeper academies looking for a durable artificial grass football with consistent playing characteristics.

Specially Designed for Artificial Grass

The Classic AG Light II has been developed to withstand the additional demands of playing football on artificial grass.

Artificial grass surfaces are generally more abrasive than natural grass pitches. As a result, standard footballs may experience faster wear when used frequently on synthetic surfaces.

Derbystar has therefore equipped this AG (Artificial Grass) model with an extra wear-resistant outer construction.

This makes it particularly suitable for clubs and youth teams that regularly train on artificial grass.

During goalkeeper training sessions, where footballs are repeatedly kicked, passed and shot towards goal, a durable outer surface is especially valuable.

The Classic AG Light II is designed to offer long-lasting performance under demanding training conditions.

Lightweight Football – 360 to 380 Grams

The Derbystar Classic AG Light II weighs 360–380 grams and comes in size L5.

This means the ball has the dimensions of a size 5 football while being lighter than a standard adult match ball.

The reduced weight makes it an interesting option for young players who are developing their passing, shooting and ball-control skills.

Using a lighter football can help youth players work on their technique without immediately moving to the full weight of a senior football.

The Classic AG Light II is suitable for a wide variety of training exercises, including passing, receiving, shooting and goalkeeper training.

Derbystar positions the model for youth players from U11 through U15.

Important: official match ball weight requirements vary between age groups and football associations. Always check your competition's regulations before using this ball in an official match. In Dutch KNVB competitions, some youth age groups have lower maximum ball weights than this model's stated 360–380g range.

Durable Polyurethane (PU) Material

The outer surface of the Classic AG Light II is made from durable polyurethane (PU).

This modern synthetic material provides a leather-like feel while offering the practical advantages of a durable artificial material.

PU is widely used in quality footballs because it combines flexibility with resistance to regular wear.

The material offers a comfortable touch when passing, receiving and striking the ball.

Combined with the AG construction, the PU cover helps the football withstand frequent use on artificial grass pitches.

Hand-Stitched Construction

The Derbystar Classic AG Light II features a hand-stitched construction.

This traditional production technique creates strong connections between the football's panels.

Together with the durable PU material and wear-resistant seams, the construction is designed to withstand regular football training.

Hand-stitching is one of the characteristics that distinguishes this Derbystar model from many basic training footballs.

The result is a well-constructed ball designed for reliable everyday use.

3D Diamond Texture for Stable Flight

The entire surface of the Derbystar Classic AG Light II features a distinctive 3D diamond texture.

This three-dimensional surface structure has been developed to support excellent, stable flight characteristics.

The textured surface contributes to consistent ball behaviour during passes, crosses and shots.

This is particularly useful during technical football training, where predictable ball movement helps players repeat exercises with confidence.

For goalkeepers, stable flight characteristics are equally important.

During catching exercises, long-range shots and high-ball training, a consistent ball trajectory helps keepers practise timing, positioning and handling.

Ideal for Youth Football and Goalkeeper Training

The Derbystar Classic AG Light II is suitable for a wide range of football training activities on artificial grass.

Its combination of durability, reduced weight and stable flight characteristics makes it a practical choice for youth teams and goalkeeper academies.

For outfield players:

• Short and long passing exercises

• First touch and ball control

• Positional games

• Shooting and finishing drills

• Small-sided training games

• Technical football development

For goalkeepers:

• Catching and handling exercises

• Reaction and reflex training

• Low and high diving saves

• Shots from different distances

• Crosses and aerial-ball training

• Throwing and kicking distribution

The durable artificial grass construction makes this football particularly interesting for intensive training sessions where many repetitions are required.

Football Maintenance for a Longer Lifespan

Proper maintenance helps preserve the playing characteristics and durability of your Derbystar football.

Follow these six steps to keep your football in good condition.

1. Check the Air Pressure Regularly

Use a suitable football pump and, preferably, a pressure gauge to check the inflation level.

Always follow the recommended air pressure indicated on the football.

Correct inflation helps maintain the ball's shape and playing characteristics.

2. Protect the Valve When Inflating

Before inserting the pump needle, apply a small amount of valve oil or moisten the needle with water.

Insert the needle carefully and straight into the valve.

Avoid forcing the needle, as this can damage the valve and cause air leakage.

Derbystar recommends using a standard football pump with a suitable needle.

3. Clean the Football After Use

After training sessions or matches, remove mud and dirt using a soft, damp cloth.

If necessary, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap.

Avoid aggressive cleaning chemicals, wax or leather-care products.

4. Dry the Football Properly

If the ball has been used on a wet pitch, dry it with a clean cloth after playing.

Do not leave a wet football inside a closed sports bag for an extended period.

Keeping the football clean and dry helps maintain its materials and construction.

5. Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight

Never dry the football on a radiator or close to another direct heat source.

Avoid leaving it in strong, direct sunlight for extended periods.

High temperatures can negatively affect the materials and construction of the ball.

6. Store the Football Correctly

Store the football in a clean, dry location.

Derbystar recommends a storage temperature of approximately 15–20°C.

For long-term storage, you can slightly reduce the air pressure to relieve tension on the ball's seams and inner bladder.

Good maintenance helps preserve the quality and lifespan of your Derbystar Classic AG Light II.
