We took our soft-impact foam dodgeball and covered it with a durable, glow-in-the-dark coating. Turn down the lights and enjoy cosmic games with balls that look like fireflies in the night sky!

Added Versatility

The glow-in-the-dark cover sheds new light on simple games like catch and creates fun possibilities for foam ball games and dodgeball variations. The soft foam makes these balls slower in flight and easy to squeeze, giving students better grip and control during any activity. Simply recharge under any light when the ball’s glow dims.

Durable Cover

Balls feature a premium coating that won't peel, rip, or crack under heavy use. This tough coating ensures the foam retains its shape and the ball continues to perform for years. The coating also has a slightly tacky feel, giving students a better grip on the ball and more control while throwing and catching.
