Rainbow TuffSport Soccer Balls

Designed for younger students, these soccer balls allow beginners to kick, trap, and throw, and catch without the sting. Each ball features a 2.5 mm foam layer underneath a woven cover, adding a cushioned, friendly feel. The cover's slight texture increases control during play while a butyl bladder provides superior air retention to maintain the ball's shape for years of indoor/outdoor use in institutional settings.

Rainbow paneling on the cover is perfect for quick organization and adds a fun pop of color to activities. Available in Size 5.
