If Upward Soccer is played indoors, the following modifications apply:

Indoor Soccer Balls: Your indoor soccer facility and style of play will determine the kind of soccer ball you will use. If there is continual play off of walls or barriers, a soft suede or synthetic leather-covered ball with good "bounce" is recommended. This adds to the excitement of the game. If touchlines and goal lines are used, a felt or synthetic leather-covered "low-bounce" ball is recommended. This allows the game to keep moving without the ball bouncing all over the court. Another option is to use a soft foam-like ball for younger players. These balls can be purchased at most sporting goods stores or ordered online.
