Gator Skin Balls – Types and Descriptions
Dodgeball
A different ball for most kids’ favorite activity! The smaller 5″ & 6″ balls are for younger players and have a low-density foam core to eliminate any sting. Balls 6.5″ and up use a medium density foam to enable balls to be thrown further and more accurately.
View our Dodgeball Guide below specifically for Dodgeball items!
Softi
Softi balls all have a low-density foam core virtually eliminating sting if a player is hit with the ball. The low-density core results in ball with lower rebound.
Special / Super Balls
Special balls have a medium density foam core that increases the liveliness of the balls, makes them a bit heavier and better able to be thrown longer distances.
Specialty (Unique)
A wide range of balls with unique characteristics for specific sports, inviting graphics, improved grip, maximum rebound or for adaptive P.E.
