GSE Games & Sports Expert 10-Inch Blue Inflatable Playground Ball – Tear-Resistant PVC, Soft Grip, Safe for Kids & Adults

This 10-inch blue inflatable playground ball from GSE Games & Sports Expert is built from tear-resistant PVC and weighs about half a pound. Its weave-textured surface gives you a reliable grip, making it a solid choice for school gym classes, backyard kickball, or pool play. Designed for children ages three and up as well as adults, it meets lab-tested safety standards for BPA, lead, and phthalates.

Why the Weave Surface Matters

The textured outer layer provides extra friction so the ball stays in your hands during fast passes and catches. The soft, bouncy feel helps cushion impact, which is especially helpful in dodgeball or four square where the ball might hit players. This design makes the ball comfortable for kids and adults alike, encouraging longer active play.

What's in the Box and Inflation Tips

The package contains one deflated 10-inch ball. A pump and inflation needle are not included, so you'll need your own. To inflate, insert the needle into the air hole. For deflation, insert the needle only without the pump barrel — the valve seals itself, so no extra plug is needed. The ball arrives flat for easy storage and can be inflated to your preferred firmness.

Avoid sharp objects that might puncture the PVC.

Safety and Age Guidelines

The ball is independently tested by a third-party lab and certified non-toxic: BPA-safe, lead-safe, and phthalates-safe. The soft PVC material is designed to resist tears and leaks. This product is recommended for children aged three years and older and is not suitable for infants or toddlers. Adult supervision is advised during play with young children.
