Football test - Minimal water absorption

Something as simple as water can make a football lose most of the properties that make it a pleasure to play with. It is vital that a ball does not absorb water like a sponge.
A ball that absorbs too much water will not roll very far if at all, and players will definitely notice it when they head the ball. The ball must stay afloat as much as possible and not sink like a stone. Under extreme conditions, when it has rained for hours and the ground is soaked, any ball will absorb some water. How much it absorbs is crucial. The ball is turned and squeezed 250 times in a tank full of water. The ball is not allowed to absorb too much water.
