Why Our Cage Balls are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all understand that fostering teamwork and communication is just as vital as developing individual skill. Cage balls are the ultimate tool for cooperative play; their immense size and lightweight nature require multiple athletes to work in perfect synchronization to move, lift, or toss the ball. Unlike standard sports balls, cage balls remove the "star player" dynamic and replace it with a collective effort that is both physically demanding and incredibly fun. However, giant balls are only as good as their construction. Our selection features heavy-duty nylon or vinyl covers and reinforced bladders designed to survive being pushed, kicked, and carried by large groups of energetic students day after day.
Top-Tier Giant Game Balls and Accessories
We stock the most reliable and highly searched cooperative play equipment on Google to ensure your program has the right gear for massive engagement.
- Heavy-Duty Cage Balls (30-inch to 72-inch): These aren't your average beach balls. Our cage balls feature a two-part construction: a rugged, high-strength outer cover and a heavy-duty internal bladder. This design allows for a much higher level of durability, making them suitable for traditional cage ball games, giant volleyball, or cooperative relay races in any large gymnasium or field.
- OmniKin and Multi-Color Designs: We offer high-visibility designs that are perfect for tracking in high-traffic environments. From the iconic OmniKin balls used in specialized cooperative sports to classic multi-color paneled covers, these balls are designed to be the centerpiece of any physical education curriculum or recreational event.
- Replacement Bladders and Inflation Tools: A giant ball is a significant investment, which is why we provide the support equipment to keep them in play. We offer replacement bladders to extend the life of your covers and high-volume electric inflators that make filling a six-foot ball a matter of minutes rather than an all-day task.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a cage ball and a standard giant beach ball?
Standard giant beach balls are usually made of a single layer of thin vinyl and are prone to popping. A cage ball is an institutional-grade piece of equipment featuring a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant fabric or vinyl outer cover and a separate, reinforced internal bladder, making it much more durable for physical education use.
2. How do I inflate a giant 60-inch or 72-inch cage ball?
While you could technically use a manual pump, we highly recommend a high-volume electric inflator. Because these balls hold a massive amount of air, an electric pump will save your staff hours of labor. Always inflate the bladder inside the cover to ensure a proper, snug fit.
3. Can the outer covers of the cage balls be washed?
Yes. Most of our nylon cage ball covers can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water or machine-washed on a gentle cycle. This is a vital feature for sports facility managers who need to maintain a hygienic environment after high-use events or summer camps.
4. Are these balls safe for use on artificial turf or grass?
Yes, cage balls are excellent for outdoor use on clean grass or turf fields. However, coaches and facility managers should always inspect the area first to ensure there are no sharp objects, thorns, or jagged fences that could puncture the bladder through the cover.
5. What should I do if the internal bladder gets a hole?
Because cage balls are designed for longevity, you don't have to replace the whole unit if a leak occurs. We carry a full line of replacement bladders for all standard cage ball sizes, allowing you to easily swap out the old bladder and keep your existing cover in service for years.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk physical education equipment?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities since 1931. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and physical education departments can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk sets of cage balls and inflation tools for their entire department.
Are you planning on using these for traditional cage ball games, or are you looking to integrate them into a more specialized cooperative curriculum like Kin-Ball?
