Rhino Playground Balls

These are great for PE they do not hurt kids and kids are much more engaged especially the younger ages. still be wary with kids with glasses and can get a hit in the face that can be uncomfortable but for the most part these are great for games like dodgeball which let's be honest is still the kids favorite game. Not sure on durability mainly you just have to make sure you put them away when you're done playing do not let kids play with these unsupervised they are certainly not a playground ball because kids will start picking holes in them because they are foam.

Not much to state about this kickball beyond the obvious. Picked it because advertised as an official one in kids size. And it had very good reviews. I concur. It seems very well made for the purpose. My grandkids had played kickball with a ball that was too light for that, so were glad to receive a real one.

Seems a little thicker than the other Rhino balls we have ordered, so that's good. But it does have a heavier feel - it's not a lightweight super bouncy ball., it has some weight to it. Description online says "Heavy-duty 4-ply textured cover", I guess vs the 2 ply of the regular ball. Nice bright yellow for visibility. Stars should NOT be taken off because it ships deflated! It says that in the description: "Ball ships deflated - inflation required (pump not included)". If you don't have a bicycle pump with a needle, ask a neighbor. The costs would be exponentially increased for the company if they had to ship an inflated ball, while also packing it to protect it from popping in transit.. not to mention possible temperature shift affecting the air inside. So it ships deflated in a much smaller package to save on costs and packaging. Not their fault if you skipped the description :) Will update if it doesn't hold up. So far so good.

I am a classroom teacher and my students are always popping and loosing the balls. These balls have a great air retention are the perfect size and easy for my students to fill up. They have a blast playing four square with this ball.

The ball is great and perfect for what we wanted it for. It is very well made and the thickness is thick and durable. However, I defintely thought the ball was going to be blown up when I got it. I had to make a second purchase and buy a ball pump! I had no idea, I probably should have read the description, or maybe it was silly of me to think they would ship an inflated ball, but just warning others - this ball comes deflated! It is a good value for your money, besides it not being inflated, and you having to purchase a separate ball pump.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great quality and decent price. Should last a very long time.

Shortly after purchase, the ball developed a bulge and wasn’t round anymore- too late to return. I’ve heard from other people who ordered this that the same thing happened to their ball.

Quality item. Exactly as described. Good for kickball games with all ages.
