Sportime yellow ball is used for gym, playground, or classroom activities, and is appropriately weighted to hit and fly like a traditional softball, but absorbs impact for ease of catching. The ball’s limited flight eliminates the need for a glove. The ball is made of molded polyurethane foam for durability, and measures 16.0"/40.6cm in diameter. Polyurethane is nonconductive and has good abrasion, chemical, and UV radiation resistance. It is also resistant to oil, weather, ozone, heat, electricity, tearing, and various chemicals. The ball is suitable for elementary and middle school grade levels.
