Lusum Rugby Balls

Lusum balls were created in 2011, by a group of players, coaches and technicians including an aerodynamicist. The coaches were frustrated at paying for balls that were obviously marked up to cover sponsorship deals.
Lusum decided to never pay sports sponsorships to players, clubs or leagues like other brands do. Because Lusum does not pay sponsorship, you pay up to 25% less for your ball - without having to compromise on the quality and performance.
Lusum concentrate on what you get out of the ball, so you can just play.

Caring For Your Ball

About us

When we set up Sports Ball Shop, we were very lucky to have a team of people that love and understand sport. Many of our team play and coach across different sports, ensuring we have an
expertise spread across the whole range. The experts are qualified coaches which include level 1 coaches, level 2 coaches and one has just qualified as a club coach. All of these guys coach
for fun but, take their roles seriously and continue to expand their knowledge.
Amongst the sports covered by the coaches are rugby, cricket, football, table tennis, tennis and water polo. That isn't the limit of the expertise available though, as we also have members
of the Sports Ball Shop team that are still actively playing sports which include cricket, football, water polo, tennis, table tennis, korfball, golf, croquet, basketball and netball.
We are working closely with suppliers to also improve our understanding of how the balls are constructed to give us even more knowledge. This we believe makes us unique in the sports ball
business, as our wealth of knowledge and expertise is second to none.
