Spalding Rookie Gear sports equipment is designed to make it easier for young players to shoot, kick, throw, and catch. In general, the line weighs about 25% less than standard youth balls for children age eight and under. A lighter ball creates a better playing experience for kids, allowing them to practice proper fundamentals and build confidence in their skills.
The pee-wee size Rookie Gear football is made of performance composite leather for soft touch on the ball and improved durability, while the butyl bladder allows better air retention. Parents and coaches typically notice immediate improvement in throwing mechanics, allowing kids to throw properly from an "over the top" position, rather than the common sidearm delivery. The ball's lighter weight also makes pass catching easier and less intimidating.
