# Size 4 Rugby Balls

## What Age Group Uses a Size 4 Rugby Ball?

Size 4 is the standard [rugby ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-balls "rugby ball") for junior players from roughly U10 through to U14. It sits between the size 3 used in mini rugby and the full-size 5 used from U15 upward. Here's the rough age guide:

-   Size 3 - mini rugby, Ages 6 - 9 years old
-   Size 4 - junior rugby, Ages 10 - 14 years old
-   Size 5 - senior rugby, Ages 15 and above

Some clubs vary slightly in how they apply these guidelines, but this is the standard framework across most junior rugby in the UK. If you're buying for a specific age group and unsure, a size 4 covers most players in the 10-14 age bracket.

## Size 4 Rugby Ball Dimensions

A size 4 rugby ball is smaller than a [full-size 5](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/size-5-rugby-balls "size 5 rugby ball") but noticeably larger than [a size 3 ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/size-3-rugby-balls "size 3 rugby ball"). It measures approximately 25-27cm in length and 54-57cm in circumference when properly inflated. The correct inflation pressure is broadly the same as a size 5 - around 9-10 PSI - though junior training balls are sometimes inflated slightly softer for easier handling.
