Franklin Sports Playground Balls - Rubber Kickballs and Playground Balls For Kids - Great for Dodgeball, Kickball, and Schoolyard Games – 8.5” Diameter

I bought this 6 pack of balls from Franklin because I wanted quality. Unfortunately these aren't the playground ball of my youth. These balls are much smaller, but the worst thing is, you can't leave them where the sun can shine on them on a hot day. The outer rubber coating tears as the inner bladder expands due to the heat. We're on our last ball and the kids forgot it outside and I noticed before it got too hot and brought the ball in. It was too late, the outer later had torn and although the ball wasn't leaking yet I feel it's days are numbered. The outer layer is too thin to be an outside ball unless you live in Sweden or Greenland.

Fué justo lo que yo esperaba. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Yup these are them, buy them. Got them for my kids...they are exactly what I remember, Just brighter!

I took these to a orphanage and pumped them up there, actually a kid pumped them up, so obviously easy to do. I threw away the pump that came with them because it looked like it came out of a gum ball machine. (It may have lasted to blow up all the balls, but I needed a reliable one to be used over and over.) The balls are great quality, they are the same size, are totally round, feel thick and durable and bounce well. The grip is nice on them too. The mesh bag was surprisingly of good quality and a good way to keep the balls in one place. The kids LOVED them and when they were out they were always in high demand.

The balls and value are awesome! The only downside is the pump broke the same day, it's one of those cheesy plastic ones, so unless you're very careful, you'll break it quickly. We have an air compressor, so no biggie. The balls are great for kickball and other games. Super fun, and great colors!

The kids really loved these. Great quality! Good for kickball,dodgeball and other games. The air pump broke with the first ball but we had a much better pump already.
