Overview
Backyards, parks and indoor play spaces are fair ground for this soft foam football, which has a hollow core, air holes and a molded tail. The foam body is made for kids to throw and catch indoors or outdoors.
The tail and hollow core make it easy for a child to throw a spiral and practice kicks with a light body. The limit is that it remains a toy in a single size, and the listing shows two different colors.
Who it's for
Kids ready for ball games in a yard or a large room can throw, catch and kick with it, and parents get a body with no stitching. Teens training for organized football and anyone who needs a standard game ball should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Soft PU foam body
- Tail doubles as kicking tee
- Hollow core with air holes
- Whistles in flight
- Toy football, not a game ball
- Brand field reads Franklin Sports
- Color shown as both green and black
- Warranty terms unspecified
Performance notes
The hollow center and air holes let air move through the body in flight, which is where the whistle comes from, and the tail adds drag that helps steady the spiral. Foam makes the ball light, so distance depends on the thrower more than the ball. As a kicking tee, the tail props the ball for punts and field goals.
