Franklin Sports Grip-Rite Football

This ball is designed primarily for recreational use, backyard games, and team practice sessions. While it features pro-style laces and an official size, it is constructed from synthetic leather rather than the genuine leather typically required for high-level competitive games.

The ball features a deep-pebble surface texture specifically engineered to maintain traction. Combined with its water-resistant synthetic construction, it offers reliable control even when the ball gets wet.

The ball arrives deflated, but you do not need to purchase extra equipment. It includes an air pump and an inflation needle, so you can get it ready for play immediately out of the box.

This is an official-size football, which is generally recommended for players aged 12 and up. If you are purchasing for children younger than 12, an official-size ball may be too large and difficult for them to grip and throw effectively.

Synthetic leather is highly durable and requires very little maintenance compared to genuine leather. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt or mud, and store it in a dry place to keep the material in good condition.
