Overview
Not a leather game ball, this is a molded rubber junior football with a deep-pebble surface and pro-style laces. It is made for backyard and park play and sold as one ball.
Durable rubber and a pebbled grip are the reason to consider it, and the junior size suits small hands. The limitation is that the listing targets a narrow young age range, so it will feel small to older kids.
Who it's for
Younger kids playing casual catch get a ball sized for small hands and built to take weather. Older players, or anyone playing organized games, will want a larger ball.
Pros and cons
- Molded rubber handles rough ground
- Deep-pebble traction for small hands
- Warranty is listed
- Narrow age range
- Rubber feel differs from leather
- Plain laces for show only
Performance notes
The pebbled rubber surface adds friction so a small hand holds the ball while throwing. Molded construction does not take on water, so wet grass and puddles do not change the weight.
