We've designed the perfect ball

Introducing the Yardball

The Ball for all

Yardball is the perfect shape, weight, and size to toss around anywhere. Throw it around while brainstorming your next big project or take it outside and throw it with your kiddos, no gloves required.

Yardball embodies spontaneous fun

What began as a ratty tape ball with just the right shape and weight to chuck around our office or at a tailgate has become so much more. After countless prototypes, experimentation, and hours spent quality testing, we’ve finally found the perfect ball for all. So, c'mon, give it a try! 

Words from our Kickstarers!

"My daughter and I are completely addicted to this thing right out of the box. Honestly hard to put it down and the commitment to quality and workmanship really shows."

-Brian

"Got mine today, team! Really nice job on it! Good balance of weight and softness. Throwing it felt more like a baseball, yet when My kid got bonked in the face a couple times, it didn’t phase him. The stitching of the leather is top notch. Thank you for your efforts!"

-CM

"Received mine today, really great quality, heft is perfect yet soft enough to catch barehanded. Really impressed by this project!"
- Greg R.

"I got mine, and I couldn’t be happier! It’s a lot of fun, quality is amazing, and the kids really like it too! Great product, and I love that it’s made in the US!"

- Mike P.

"Just received my pledge and these are awesome. Packaging is top notch (I almost do not want to throw it away) and the balls are awesome. " Thanks again!"

- Alan F.

"Once I received my email it only took a little over a week to receive the product! Fast shipping! I’m really impressed with the packaging and the quality of the product. Sometimes you never know what you are going to get with Kickstarter projects. I’m happy to report that the team met all my expectations and I would not hesitate to support them in the future."
- Chris R.

"I've used the Yardball with my son to play catch at the park, and it's been great. It has a soft top layer so it doesn't hurt to catch in your bare hands. It has been a ball that we've been able to pick up and use at the spur of the moment."
