GSE 10" Rainbow Playground Ball: Inflatable, Soft Grip, Tear-Resistant for Kids & Adults

The GSE Games & Sports Expert 10-inch inflatable playground ball is a rainbow-colored, tear-resistant PVC ball designed for active play in dodgeball, kickball, handball, and more. Its weave-textured surface provides a secure grip, and the ball is soft enough for safe use by children ages 3 and up, yet durable for school gyms, outdoor field days, and pool play.

What’s in the Package

This listing includes one 10-inch playground ball delivered deflated. You will need a pump with a needle (sold separately) to inflate it. The ball does not require a plug after inflation—simply insert the needle to inflate and remove the needle to deflate. No additional sealing is needed.

Material and Durability

The ball is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that is built to withstand rough play. It resists tearing and popping, and it stays leakproof and waterproof across different weather conditions. The manufacturer states that the materials are independently tested and certified non-toxic, BPA-safe, lead-safe, and phthalates-safe, meeting safety standards for children.

Grip and Bounce

The surface has a weave-textured pattern that gives you a firm hold even during fast games. The soft bounce makes it suitable for younger players—it absorbs impact and reduces the chance of injury. Many parents and teachers use this ball for dodgeball, kickball, and four square because it is gentle enough for indoor use yet lively enough for outdoor play.

Games You Can Play

This ball works for a wide range of classic children's games. Use it for dodgeball, kickball, four square, handball, keep away, and simple catch. It is a common choice for school gym classes, after-school programs, camp activities, and recess. Because it floats, it can also double as a pool toy for water games. The rainbow color makes it easy to spot during play.

Indoor, Outdoor, and Water Use

The weatherproof and waterproof construction means you can take this ball almost anywhere. Use it on grass, pavement, gym floors, or in the swimming pool. It is designed to hold up in sun, rain, or snow without leaking air or losing shape. For best results, store it deflated when not in use.
