Martin Sports Red Rubber Playground Ball, 10 in

Recess is where kids learn to compete. Give them a ball that can keep up.

Thin balls go flat by October and end up on the school roof by spring.

Two Ply Toughness: Two plies of rubber take kicks, bounces and blacktop scrapes. The ball keeps its air and its shape.

Big Ball, Big Games: At 10 inches it fills a kickball diamond or a four square court. Easy to see, easy to kick.

The Kick Everyone Watches: A kid runs up, plants and sends the ball deep past second base. The whole line yells for the runner.

Grip on Every Bounce: Rubber gives hands something to hold. Catches stick and throws go where they are aimed.

The Classic Red: The red playground ball is the one every school knows. It looks like recess because it is.

Hand them the red ball and let the game decide who leads.
