Gilbert Training Balls
Gilbert is the most widely used brand for club training balls in the UK. Their training range covers sizes 3, 4, and 5 across several price points - from entry-level practice balls through to mid-range options that sit just below match ball specification. For most club sides, a Gilbert training ball in the right size is the practical default. They're durable, widely available, and perform consistently across all conditions.
Rhino Training Balls
Rhino produce a solid range of club training balls that are well regarded at grassroots and junior level. Their training balls are built for durability and perform well in wet conditions, making them a reliable choice for winter training. Available across sizes 3, 4, and 5.
Choosing the Right Training Ball
The most important factor is size - size 3 for players aged 6-9, size 4 for ages 10-14, and size 5 for adult rugby. Beyond that, budget is the main consideration. A mid-range training ball from Gilbert or Rhino will outlast a match ball in a training environment and cost considerably less to replace. If you're buying for a club rather than an individual player, it's worth buying two or three at once to avoid sessions being disrupted when one goes flat or gets lost.
