Franklin Sports 8" Foam Teeball Glove with Stiktek Ball – Right Hand Throw for Toddlers & Kids (3+)
Franklin Sports 8" Foam Teeball Glove with Stiktek Ball – Right Hand Throw for Toddlers & Kids (3+)
The Franklin Sports 8-inch foam teeball glove and ball set is designed for toddlers and young players ages three and up. This lightweight glove comes with a matching Stiktek soft foam baseball, giving kids everything they need to start playing catch and practicing basic throwing and catching skills right out of the box. The glove is built for a right-hand throw, meaning it is worn on the left hand, and the ready-to-play construction eliminates the need for any break-in period.
What makes this glove suitable for young children?
The glove uses a foam material that keeps it very light – easy for small hands to open and close. The soft Stiktek ball is also foam, so bumps and missed catches are much safer than with a standard hard baseball. The 8-inch size is proportioned for toddlers and kids, not for adults, making it a good fit for first-time players. The set includes two items: the glove and the ball.

How is the glove ready to play immediately?
The RTP (Ready to Play) construction means the glove is pre-softened and pre-shaped at the factory. Unlike many leather gloves that require hours of conditioning and forming, this foam glove is flexible straight from the package. A toddler or young child can put it on and begin catching throws without any preparation from an adult.
Can the set be used indoors?
Yes. The foam construction of both the glove and the Stiktek ball makes it suitable for indoor use. The ball is soft enough that it will not damage household items or injure players during gentle play. However, always supervise young children during play, especially indoors, to avoid accidents.
What is the right hand throw orientation?
“Right hand throw” means the child throws the ball with their right hand, so the glove is worn on the left hand. This is the standard configuration for right-handed throwers. Left-handed throwers would need a different glove.
