Small ball, big time performance. Our Rookie Gear PeeWee size football is specifically designed for children ages 8 and under. What makes our Rookie Gear PeeWee size football so special is that it weighs 25 percent less than standard youth-size balls. This means the ball will help improve your child's throwing and catching mechanics and keep them on the field longer. Our Rookie Gear football is made of high-performance composite leather for great grip.
