Balls

Spartan Athletic Co. carries physical education balls for school districts, PE departments, and recreation programs from Voit and MacGregor — the two primary manufacturers supplying scholastic PE programs nationwide. Our ball inventory covers the full range of PE curriculum needs: playground balls, foam balls, dodgeballs, coated foam footballs, rubber basketballs, multicolor volleyballs, foam soccer balls, utility balls, and value packs for programs building or replacing a full equipment room inventory. All balls are sold in sets or packs sized for classroom-scale procurement. Purchase orders and tax-exempt procurement are supported.

PE Balls — Buyer's Guide

Playground Balls

Playground balls are the highest-volume consumable item in most PE departments. Voit playground balls are available in standard 6-packs and the 48-pack Rainbow set for programs stocking multiple courts or replacing a full inventory at once. The Enduro Series provides a more durable rubber construction for high-use outdoor applications. Low-bounce Tuff Balls are suited for indoor gym use where reduced rebound keeps games controlled in confined spaces. The 4-Square utility ball pack covers programs running 4-square and similar court game units.

Foam Balls

Foam balls provide a lower-impact option for younger students, introductory units, and activities where ball hardness is a safety concern in close-quarters gym settings. Bouncee foam balls are available in 6.25" and 8.25" sizes — the larger size is better suited for younger students with developing hand size and grip strength. The Voit Neon Softi Tuff balls provide a brighter high-visibility option in the standard 6.25" foam ball size.

Dodgeballs

The Voit Tuff 6.25" dodgeball is the standard for scholastic dodgeball programs. Available individually and in the Color My Class set — a multi-color pack that allows team identification by ball color without additional equipment. The Color My Class configuration is useful for programs running simultaneous games across a divided gymnasium floor.

Coated Foam Footballs

Coated foam footballs provide a safe throwing option for flag football and passing skill units where a hard leather or rubber ball creates injury risk in close-quarters gym use. Available in 8.5" sets of 6 and 9.75" sets of 6 for different age groups, plus an 8.5" mini football for younger students. MacGregor multicolor rubber footballs are available for programs that prefer a standard rubber construction over foam at the recreational level.

Rubber Basketballs and Volleyballs

MacGregor rubber basketballs provide a durable low-maintenance option for PE classes and open recreation where leather or composite balls would sustain excessive wear across heavy daily use. Multicolor volleyballs allow color-based team organization without pinnies or separate team identification equipment — a practical time-saver for PE teachers managing large class rotations.

Value Packs and Starter Sets

The Six-Color Starter Set and Have A Ball Value Pack provide a mixed-ball inventory solution for programs building out a new equipment room or replacing a full inventory across multiple ball types in a single order. The MacGregor Xtra Balls pack provides a high-volume assortment for programs that need broad coverage across sport types without purchasing individual ball sets for each curriculum unit.
