Voit Soft-Low Bounce Tuff Balls (pack of 6)

Description

The Voit Soft-Low Bounce Tuff Balls are foam-core balls with a tough outer coating, designed for dodgeball, throwing games, and catching activities where a softer impact is necessary for student safety. Sold in a pack of six, these balls provide enough inventory for full-class dodgeball games and multi-station PE activities. The low-bounce characteristic keeps balls closer to the playing surface, reducing the unpredictable high bounces that disrupt games and send balls into walls, ceilings, and spectator areas in gymnasiums.

The Tuff coating over the foam core creates a ball that absorbs impact energy on contact rather than transferring it to the student. This matters in dodgeball and bombardment-style games where students are the target — a softer impact reduces the sting that discourages participation from younger, smaller, or more cautious students. The coating also provides a grippy surface that younger hands can control during throwing and catching, unlike slick foam balls that slip during the release.

The foam construction eliminates the need for inflation, which is a practical advantage for PE departments. These balls cannot go flat, cannot be over-inflated, and do not require pump maintenance — they are ready to use every class period without any preparation from staff. The Tuff coating protects the foam core from tearing, peeling, and the surface degradation that shortens the life of uncoated foam balls in high-use environments.

For programs that prefer a standard rubber playground ball with more bounce, the Voit Playground Balls and Enduro Series Playground Balls offer air-filled alternatives. Browse all physical education equipment.
