Description
Overview
The Catch Tail Ball – 6.5cm, also known as the Foxtail Ball, pairs a 65 mm leather ball with a nylon fabric tail. You spin it by the tail and let go, then catchers score points by the colour band of the tail they grab, which turns catching practice into a throw & catch game.
Key benefits
- Scoring by tail colour turns catching drills into a game.
- Nylon fabric tail gives catchers a large, soft target.
- Compact at 0.12 kg, easy to add to a throw and catch kit.
Who it's for
Good for primary and intermediate students who have basic catching and want a game with points, and for club fun days. For younger children, the Comet Ball – 6cm is a softer sponge ball with ribbon tails.
