Why are foam balls so popular in physical education class?
They are safe- no need for heavy protection when playing with foam balls, they will only cause "serious injury" if you eat them.
There are many sizes, shapes and colors to choose from so they can be incorporated into any game or sport that is played indoors or out.
They are durable, if taken care of correctly foam balls will last years.
Foam balls are pretty safe! There are a few different styles to choose from. High density foam balls are made with heavier high density foam which makes them weigh more and feel firmer. The heavier density balls also bounce more than others. There are regular density foam balls which are softer and lighter than the high density. These regular density balls are better for games like dodge ball because they are not going to be as hard when they hit.
There are many sizes, shapes and colors to choose from. You can get 2.75" round foam balls all the way up to 10" foam balls. They also make sport specific foam balls like basketball, volleyballs, soccer balls, football, baseball, and softballs. There is even a foam golf ball if you need one. . Some physical education games require different colored balls. Fortunately foam balls are available in many colors and some sizes come in rainbow sets. So if you need a foam ball for anything at all, any sport, any game, there is one available to fit your needs.
Foam balls are durable as well. As long as you store them correctly in a dry, non-rodent infested place, they should last a long time. Also make sure that the kids using the balls do not destroy them by picking at them with their nails or with sharp objects. Some foam balls are uncoated, and some have a dipped or sprayed on coating. The balls with the coating are more durable than the ones without it. The coating helps keep the balls dry and helps retain the integrity of the foam.
So if you are looking for a long lasting, versatile, safe item to use in your physical education class, take a look at the foam ball. There are many foam balls to choose from. For more information and pricing on foam balls go to www.morleyathletic.com.
