Halty jumps at every opportunity to get player feedback and to play the game himself around the world to form a connection through a futsal ball that’s otherwise nearly impossible and most often truly special.

“For us, to have the best Futsal organization in the country (USYF), using our gear, it's a huge sense of pride for the entire company,” Halty says. “It also allows us to make the best Futsal balls in the world, hands down.”

The Barefoot players, from the elite to the emerging, have strong praise for the product.

Alonzo Edmond  (left) called it “really easy to play with.

”Wesley Atoyebi (right) said Senda balls are “his go-to choice.”

All the players we talked to were impressed with both the Vitoria’s and Rio’s abilities to stay pumped up and to be firm but also cushioned.

For Halty, it’s about creating joy, respect, and community — the three words found on every Senda ball — through the game that gave him a chance to connect as an Argentine attending college in California.

We've always been passionate about making the best possible gear for futsal and making it in a way that's not only high performance and durable, but that's ethical,” Halty says.

“People that get our gear can feel great about the durability, the quality, but also the way the product is made.”
