Professional Leather Football Prepping Service

Elite Football Prep Service (Return Shipping Included)

This listing is for the buyer to send their Leather football to Cren's Company to be fully prepped and tacked — transformed into true game-ready condition. Your ball can be new or used leather. We service Wilson, Nike, Adidas, and Team Issue footballs in peewee, youth, junior, high school, college, or professional sizes.

If you have multiple footballs to send, message us ahead of time with the quantity so we can provide a bulk discount (bulk pricing applies for 3+ footballs — for more than 6, message us for a custom quote).

How it works:
1) Choose your prep level (and add bladder repair if needed)
2) Choose your quantity
3) Complete your order
4) Pack your football and include a sheet of paper with your name, return address, and order number. Shipping instructions and our intake address will be included in your order confirmation email after purchase.
5) Once your football arrives, we'll inspect, prep, and repackage it — typically within 3–4 business days for Clean & Condition and Full Prep, and 5–7 business days for Signature Game-Ready. During busier periods this may take longer. If your timeline is tight, let us know and we'll do what we can to prioritize your order.
6) We'll ship your football back via USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx Ground, or UPS Ground. Need expedited shipping? Message us before placing your order.

From the time you ship to when it returns, please factor 1–2 weeks total depending on prep level selected.

International orders: please message us before ordering — international shipping costs more and needs to be factored into your total.

Important Notice:
- Eligible Brands & Sizes: We service Wilson, Nike, Adidas, and Team Issue footballs in high school, college, or professional sizes. Footballs outside these brands or sizes will be returned.
- No Autograph Balls: Please do not send autographed footballs. If an autographed football is sent, we are not responsible for any damage that may occur during the prep process. If an autograph ball is sent & you want it covered by the mud, please put a note in the package detailing what you want done to the ball.
- You are responsible for shipping your football to us; we do not supply the football.
- By purchasing, you agree to send your football for prep services. Please use a tracked shipping service.
- Cren's Company is not responsible for footballs lost or damaged by shipping carriers in transit.
- The prep service is designed to improve grip and performance, not to smooth or repair physical damage to the leather.
- If you selected Bladder Replacement, please include the type of lacing you would like on your football, else the lace will be redone with assumed color/type lacing by our company.
- Logos, stripes, and laces may pick up mud, wax, or conditioner residue during the process.
- If your football is not repairable or preppable, for such reasons like broken seams of the football, we reserve the right to return it to you and refund the applicable cost.
