As football enthusiasts ourselves, we were thrilled to get our hands on the Franklin Sports NCAA Football Youth Mini Football. The 8.5″ size was perfect for our little champions-in-training, giving them the opportunity to practice their skills and perfect their game. The SPACELACE Easy Grip Texture made it easy for our young players to hold and throw the ball with confidence, without worrying about slips or fumbles. The vibrant colors and NCAA branding added an extra level of excitement for our kids, making them feel like they were playing with a real game ball. Overall, we were impressed with the quality and durability of the Franklin Sports mini football, making it an essential addition to our collection of sports equipment for kids.
