FAQs
Do these balls come with an air pump?
No, the set does not include an air pump. You will need to provide your own needle-style pump.
Can I choose the colors of the footballs?
No, the colors are supplied at random. Each pack contains a variety of colors.
Are these suitable for use in a swimming pool?
Yes, their lightweight construction makes them great for pool play, provided they are rinsed off after use in chlorinated water.
What is the diameter of the ball when fully inflated?
Each ball measures approximately 8.5 inches in diameter.
Are these balls durable enough for a dog to chew on?
No, these are intended for human recreational play and are not designed as pet chew toys; they will likely puncture if bitten by a dog.
Can these be deflated after use?
Yes, you can insert the inflation needle into the valve to release the air for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
The ball is losing air quickly.
Check the valve for debris or ensure the needle was inserted correctly. If a puncture is detected, use a vinyl repair kit to patch the hole.
The ball feels lopsided after inflation.
Ensure the ball is not over-inflated or under-inflated. Sometimes gently squeezing and rolling the ball can help redistribute the internal air pressure evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the footballs, you will need a standard needle-style air pump. Insert the needle gently into the valve opening and inflate until the ball reaches its 8.5-inch diameter; do not over-inflate, as this may compromise the seams. While the material is durable enough for grass and sand, avoid using them on sharp rocks or jagged pavement, as punctures will permanently disable the product. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then let them air dry before deflating or storing in a cool, dry place.
