I was nervous ordering the ball and then when I got it and began filling it up I thought for sure I had gotten the wrong size bladder. I re-read the instructions and decided to fill the bladder more and before long it filled out the fabric. I have been known as the fun coach on our U6 soccer league and now with this ball there id no doubt who has the most fun. My kids played with the ball and 12 kids all kicking and jumping on the ball and it held up great. Great ball and a lot of fun.

I used this giant soccer ball as a prop in our local civic days parade. It looks great and the size is truly impressive. It stood up to having kids roll on it, bounce on it and kick it back and forth across rough pavement.

The review from Rookie was spot on. In conjunction with the Coleman pump this is a sturdy no-fail hit with youth and kids. It's surprisingly heavy so don't expect 5 year old's to toss it around like a beach ball, but I'd rather have a reliable outdoor ball that can be used over and over than a lightweight alternative that will pop on the first rock it hits. The only downside is the small plastic plugs are totally separate from the ball bladder so they can easily be misplaced when in storage so make sure you put them somewhere where they won't get lost. Also, it was hard to gauge the actual size of the ball so here's another image with an 18 year old that might help: https://app.box.com/s/76d9ul496dlokip6figz
