Dodgeball playground balls 8.5 inch pack of 4
Product description
A pack of inflatable dodgeball playground balls is a practical way to keep games moving, especially for schools, camps, and busy recreation sessions. The AppleRound 8.5-inch dodgeball set comes with four official size balls and one pump, so you can inflate and use straight away. Each ball is built with a textured, no slip grip, helping players keep hold during fast throws and quick passes. 🏫
The essentials
This AppleRound set is designed for dodgeball, handball, and other group activities where a durable, grippy ball matters. The balls are inflatable and are delivered deflated, which makes them easier to store and transport between lessons or activities. You also get four bright colours, with one each in red, blue, green and yellow, so teams can be identified quickly on the playground. 🟦🟩🟥🟨
Key features
The balls have an 8.5 inch diameter and each one weighs 250 grams, matching the official size described for dodgeball use. They are made from heavy composition PVC, and the provided information states the PVC is phthalates free and approved for both EU and USA standards. It is also not a foam ball, so there is no foam layer or padding, which is worth bearing in mind if your activity expects a softer feel.
On safety, the pack is stated to conform to EU EN71, US CPSIA and ASTM F963 requirements, which is particularly relevant for school and camp environments. Inflation and deflation are described as straightforward, with instructions to insert the needle into the air hole for inflation. For deflation, the needle is inserted only without the barrel of the pump, and there is no additional plug needed to close the air hole.
A subtle benefit of this setup is the convenience factor, you can refresh the feel of the balls by inflating them to the right level before play. That makes it easier to standardise games across a group rather than relying on mismatched hand me downs. Do keep in mind that because the balls are inflatable, you should still follow the inflation guidance provided to avoid over or under inflating.

Who it’s for
It makes sense if you manage school games, playground activities, or camp sessions that need multiple balls in matching sizes and colours. You’ll like it if you want a simple inflation setup and grippy surface for throw and catch practice in a group setting. It might not suit you if you specifically need a foam ball or a ball with built in padding. In terms of support, the listing mentions a seller warranty process if the pump or a ball is faulty, with contact for replacement or refund through the seller directly.
