Martin Sports Junior Size Rubber Football, Pebbled Grip

A young arm throws the way the ball lets it. Give it a ball it can actually hold.

Too much ball turns every pass into a wobble and every catch into a guess.

Sized For Young Hands: Junior size puts the fingers on the laces where they belong. The throw starts clean and leaves the hand on purpose.

Pebbled For Grip: The pebbled rubber finish gives the hands something to hold. A receiver cutting across the middle pulls it in and keeps running.

Rubber That Lasts: Rubber shrugs off blacktop, wet grass and recess. It goes back in the bin ready for the next class.

Colors That Organize: Brown for the game feel, or bright colors to split groups at a station. A coach calls a color and the drill is already set.

Reps Over Worry: A ball that holds up is a ball that gets thrown. More throws in a week means more confidence by the weekend.

Hand them a ball that fits and watch the passes start to land.
