Overview

Teachers and camp counselors get a red polyurethane coated foam ball with a low density, low rebound core. The surface has no stitching and is designed not to sting.

The soft, slow-rebound foam suits indoor games and younger players. The ball is light, so it is not the pick for throwing distance, and it comes as a single ball.

Who it's for

A gym or a GaGa pit with kids and teens is the match. Older competitive players, or anyone needing several balls, should look at a heavier option or a multipack.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No-sting soft foam
  • Low rebound, easy to control
  • No stitching on the surface
  • Light for young players
Cons
  • Single ball only
  • Too light for distance
  • No inflation to adjust
  • Color is fixed

Performance notes

A low rebound foam core slows the ball down after each bounce, which suits play in a small space. The coating gives grip and resists wear, and the light weight takes the sting out of hits.
