Rainbow TuffSport Footballs
The Rainbow TuffSport Football offers great durability with a soft, non-intimidating feel, making it a class favorite! Designed to handle daily institutional use while effectively helping younger students build kicking, catching, and throwing skills.
Soft Feel for Confident Skill Development
Each football features a 2.5 mm foam layer beneath a woven cover, creating a cushioned, user-friendly feel during play. This softer construction helps reduce the sting upon impact, making it easier for younger students to stay engaged and build confidence while learning fundamental football skills.
Durable Design With Reliable Grip
The woven cover adds long-lasting durability while providing a slight texture for better control during throwing and catching. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this football stands up to repeated play across a variety of surfaces. Its tough construction ensures consistent performance without sacrificing comfort.
Color-Coded for Easy Class Management
Rainbow paneling offers a bright, high-visibility design that makes organizing a breeze. Use the six colors to quickly divide teams, set up stations, or just add a fun pop of color to games. The vibrant design also pairs well with our other Rainbow equipment.
