Gilbert RCT Toulon Replica Rugby Ball Mini Size 1
This Gilbert RCT Toulon replica rugby ball in size 1 (mini) is designed for young beginner rugby players (5-7 years old) and passionate collectors of the Toulon club. With its hand-stitched synthetic covering and official red and black graphics, it faithfully reproduces the aesthetic of the ball used by RCT professionals. Its reduced size makes it easy to grip for the youngest and helps learn the basics (passes, ball handling) without risk of injury.
Designed for recreational or light training use, this mini-ball maintains an inflatable and bouncy structure. Manual stitching ensures adequate durability for regular use on dry ground or synthetic grass, without however aiming for the resistance of an adult competition model. Ideal for introducing children to rugby in a youth club or at home, while proudly displaying the colours of one of the most decorated clubs in the French championship.

Size 1 measures approximately 40 cm in circumference, adapted for the hands of children aged 5 to 7 years.

Is the ball delivered inflated?

Technical specifications
Care adviceClean with warm water and a damp cloth and mild soap after use on muddy ground. Avoid harsh detergents that damage the synthetic covering. Air dry, never in direct sunlight or on a radiator to preserve the elasticity of the bladder. Store deflated or slightly inflated in a dry place, away from heat and moisture. DesignGilbert uses a polyurethane covering (synthetic material) offering good abrasion resistance and a smooth surface for easy grip, even in wet conditions. Hand stitching ensures even tension distribution across the panels, reducing the risk of tearing at seams — a proven technique for replica balls intended for less intensive use than match models. The inner butyl bladder ensures proper air retention between inflations. The screen-printed graphics reproduce the visual codes of the RCT jersey (red, black, club logo), for an immediately recognizable visual effect on the field or on display.
