Long-Lasting Coated Foam

Cushioned, soft foam construction provides instant comfort when gripped by younger students. Instead of hard plastic, foam offers have “give” that makes holding, catching, and throwing safer. Foam also weighs less than plastic—the heavyweight option weighs just 65 g, and the lightweight disc weighs only 35 g. A thin coating protects the foam during play. A subtle texture improves grip.

Ideal for Beginners

These discs are a great choice for younger students. The smaller size and lightweight design decreases the intimidation when throwing or catching. Bright, friendly Rainbow colors are inviting and engaging. The various colors also aid in creating color-coded games or dividing the class into teams.
