FAQs
Are these balls suitable for toddlers?
Yes, their soft, lightweight foam construction makes them very safe and manageable for young children learning coordination.
Can these be used in the rain?
While they are water-resistant, it is recommended to keep them dry to prolong the lifespan of the foam and prevent the storage bag from holding moisture.
Do I need a pump for these?
No, these are solid foam balls and do not require any inflation.
Can I use these for competitive tackling practice?
No, these are for skill building, passing, and drills, not for high-impact contact or tackling practice.
What is the best way to store the set?
Always return them to the included mesh sack and hang it in a cool, dry area to ensure proper airflow.
Troubleshooting
Ball surface becomes dusty or slippery
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Foam appears slightly indented after heavy play
The material is resilient; let the ball rest in an open area for a few hours, and it should naturally return to its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is instantaneous; simply remove the balls from the provided mesh sack and they are ready for use. These balls require no inflation, eliminating the need for pumps or needle maintenance. To ensure longevity, store the balls in the mesh sack after each session to prevent them from rolling away or getting damaged in storage areas. If they become dirty during outdoor use, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely before placing them back into the storage bag to prevent mold or odors.
