Review: Best ball for 4-square. Literally run over by a semi and survived - At work we regularly play highly competitive 4 square at lunch. Many other brands are lacking, whether off round in shape, poor airholding, or just too heavy/hard of rubber. Even the good balls we go through quickly. This one was an immediate favorite for playability and performance. Today, after a hours and hours of heavy use (and pretty much no need to top off the air), 'bally' was run over by the two axels of an 18-wheeler. We all cried in remorse and time slowed as we watched the ball get comically squished completely flat twice. And then it popped free, and rolled back to us, still round and full of air and only sporting some black tire marks as battle wounds. Play commenced joyously and amidst much relieved laughter.
Review: This is a the quality brand in playground balls - We purchased one of these for one kid for Christmas only to find the other kid was very envious. My husband bought a slightly cheaper version by Franklin from a big box store for second kid. The Franklin ball had a hole in it within a few weeks. So we bought a second Sporttime School Smart ball and now all is right with the world. This is the same brand that our daycare facility purchases for all sorts of playground and sport activities. Ours doesn't get heavy use. It is used to bounce and dribble on our patio and play pass-back in our yard but it does get almost daily use. The first ball we purchased for Christmas has held air with no refilling for 4 months now. The second ball is too new to tell but we are optimistic. No strong smell. No sharp seams. Just a great red playground ball that's easy to play with and easy to maintain.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: IS the 10 inch ball already inflated when it ships?**
A: No, the balls I ordered all came uninflated. You need a pump but it only took about 15 minutes to inflate the dozen I ordered.

**Q: can this be used for volleyball?**
A: Not recommended. This product is made of rubber and may cause injury if used in that setting.

**Q: I've never inflated one of these before- is there supposed to be a stopper of some kind in the air hole? I don't see one.**
A: There is a hole.  It has a valve.  The ball comes inflated and includes a hollow needle that attaches to an air pump.  You supply the pump (perhaps you should purchase one on Amazon).  The needle enters the valve/hole after which you pump air into the ball.  The valve automatically closes when you withdraw the needle.

**Q: We have 2 of the 10" balls that are leaking at the valve. Where can we get replacement valves?  These are great balls and the kids love them. Just nee**
A: Have no idea-maybe a small piece of gorilla tape over the valve.  Will look a little tacky, but might be cheaper.  We just bought a new ball.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a kick! And a great therapy partner.
*by D***E on February 2, 2016*

I got this to help me exercise my leg after a full knee replacement. It's squishy enough, slightly under inflated, to help with my physical therapy. And if i want to take it outside and kick it around the yard, i can. I need another month or two of PT, but i think i'll be able to handle a kick by then. In the meantime, it's helping me achieve my goals. Place it under your knee and raise your foot. Or place it behind your knee as your foot dangles over the bed and draw your foot in. Nice resistance. With back up against the wall with the ball behind your knee and pull your knee toward the wall against the ball pressure. Place the ball between your knees and give it a squeeze. Throw ball at people laughing at your exercise routine. Let them get a knee replacement and see if i lend them my ball...
