The Rawlings Edge composite football is a durable, easy-to-handle option designed to support youth players. With a soft-touch composite cover and foam backing, this football offers a comfortable grip while standing up to daily use. 

Built Tough for Extended Play 

A polyurethane composite leather cover holds up to repeated use in athletic and recreation programs. The durable shell resists wear while maintaining consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for high-use environments.  

Designed for Better Handling 

A neoprene foam backing creates a softer feel, making the ball easier to catch and control. This design is especially helpful for developing players who are learning proper throwing and catching techniques. The combination of comfort and control makes a great all-around ball. Thick composite laces improve grip and help players achieve more accurate throws. Bright white stripes make the ball easier to track in the air, improving reaction time and catching success during drills.  

Inside, a patented double-wall, airtight bladder system maximizes air retention, reducing the need for frequent inflation.
