Description
Overview
The Wilson NFL Flag Football is a youth size 9 ball made for junior flag football, the non-contact form of gridiron. Wilson has built it around learning to throw: soft composite leather for grip in smaller hands, and wider laces that give fingers an obvious place to sit.
It holds air between sessions thanks to an inflation retention lining, and the composite cover copes with grass and artificial turf. For players moving into full-size gridiron, the Wilson NFL Gridiron Ball is the step up; the Wilson NFL Gridiron Mini is the smaller option.
Key benefits
- Comfortable grip for smaller hands thanks to soft composite leather.
- Wider laces help players learn consistent finger placement and throwing technique.
- Stays inflated between sessions with an inflation retention lining.
- Handles regular training and match play on natural and artificial surfaces.
Who it's for
School flag football programmes, junior gridiron clubs and PE teachers introducing throwing and catching games. It is sized for juniors, so senior or full-contact squads should choose a full-size ball from our afl & gridiron category.
Sizing guide
Wilson lists this as a size 9 youth ball for junior flag football. Older players moving into full gridiron should size up to the Wilson NFL Gridiron Ball.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep the ball firm and top up before sessions; the inflation retention lining slows air loss but does not remove the need to check. Wipe off mud after use and store indoors. Covered by our 12-month guarantee.
