Description
Overview
The Aerobie Sonic Football is a throwing toy rather than a match ball: a finned football that flies a long way and whistles on the way down. The inner tube and adjustable fins are what make it fly, and the fins can be moved to suit each thrower's spin rate. A mixed-ability class can each tune it a little and still get a satisfying throw.
It sits in our throw & catch range alongside frisbees and playballs, and it doubles as a junior javelin alternative for athletics practice on grass.
Key benefits
- Long throws from small arms, thanks to the inner tube and fin design.
- Easier spirals for kids because the ball is balanced front to back.
- Adjustable fins let each thrower match the ball to their spin rate.
- Whistles in flight, so students can hear how well they threw.
- Supplied in assorted colours, so a class set is easy to tell apart.
Who it's for
Primary and intermediate PE classes, lunchtime play boxes and holiday programmes where you want distance throwing without a hard ball. The maker rates it for ages 5 and over, and it is not suitable for children under 3 because it contains small parts.
If you need a graded athletics implement rather than a toy, the Foam Javelin – Junior is the better pick. For a fuller set of school athletics gear, look at the Run, Jump, Throw – Basic Kitset.
Sizing guide
One size, 31 cm long. Age guide 5+ as marked by the manufacturer; keep it away from children under 3.
Care, safety and set-up
Move the fins before a session if throws are wobbling, then leave them alone once the thrower is happy. Supervise younger students because the item has small parts. Dispatches from NZ stock, usually the same or next business day.
