Rainbow TuffSport Volleyballs

Younger students can bump, set, throw, and catch with confidence! A 2.5 mm foam layer underneath the ball's woven cover provides a friendly cushion during impact, eliminating the sting and intimidation. The cover features a slight texture that increases control during play. A butyl bladder provides more consistency with that feel as it prevents air from leaking, even after years of routine use.

A black and gray design with Rainbow paneling makes it easy to track the ball through the air and allows for quick organization of games or drills. Bright colors are also fun, inviting, and pair well with corresponding Rainbow equipment. Balls are official size and suited for indoor or outdoor use.
