Key Specifications

How does the spiral groove pattern help with throwing?

The deep spiral grooves molded into the foam give your fingers a secure hold. This extra grip makes it easier to control the release, helping both kids learning to throw and adults aiming for a tight spiral. The grooves also mimic the seams of a regulation football, so the flight path is more predictable.

Where can you use this foam football?

This football is built for versatility. Take it to the backyard, the park, the beach, or even the pool—the foam is water-safe and won't absorb moisture. Indoors, it's soft enough to avoid damaging lamps or screens, making it a great choice for rainy-day play. Its bright orange and black colors make it easy to spot in grass or water.

What makes Blu Jay foam different from other soft footballs?

Many foam footballs on the market are too squishy—they collapse on impact and never fly straight. Blu Jay uses a denser foam that holds its shape better, giving a more realistic feel. It's firm enough to throw a spiral but soft enough that little hands (and faces) won't get hurt. The foam also resists flattening over time, so the ball maintains its shape and bounce longer.
