Rainbow UltraCoat Versa Coated-Foam Balls

Our best multipurpose balls feature an advanced, proprietary coating that fuses the cover to the foam. In fact, this revolutionary bond makes the ball nearly 3x stronger than standard foam balls, ensuring it outlasts all others! The innovative construction also makes the cover extremely pick proof, maintaining the integrity of the balls longer, even under extreme institutional use.

The moisture-resistant cover provides superb grip for improved control and helps maintain the shape of the ball. Premium, medium-density foam provides the perfect amount of bounce that is ideal for most tossing, throwing, and catching activities. They are also a great choice for early sports activities, like soccer and volleyball.
