Composite Football for High School Athletes, Ages 14+, (Ships Deflated)

The Passback Story: The Passback Football, a Unique Training Tool

In 1993, Mike McGonigle, while watching a football game on Halloween, noticed a goofy-looking pumpkin staring at him. The pumpkin's wide smile seemed to dare him to pick it up, and as he proceeded to chuck it at the wall, it came back to him in a slight spiral. Inspired by this, McGonigle began lopping his old Nerf balls into flat footballs, and like the pumpkin, they came spiraling back when he tossed them against a wall. This was the birth of the Passback.

In the mid-1990s, Hasbro introduced a Nerf version of the Passback Football under the name Turbo Blast-Back. The modern Passback looks like a normal football cut in half, with a rubber pad on the blunt end. Available in composite leather or rubber, the Passback has the same weight, feel, and stitching as a regulation football.

The Passback Football is a one-of-a-kind training tool, engineered to hit a surface and come spiraling back when thrown like a regulation football. It is available in different sizes to cater to various age groups: Peewee (Ages 4-8), Junior (Ages 9-13), Official (Ages 14+), and Pro (Ages 14+). The material options include foam (soft and gentle on little athletes' bodies), composite (weather-resistant and durable), and rubber (weather-resistant and affordable).

The Passback Football is used by professional, collegiate, high school, junior high school, and graduate school athletes and coaches for off-season independent practice and skill development. It is a training aid for all football players looking to improve their throwing and catching skills, providing the drills, programs, insight, and information needed to work smarter, train harder, get better, and be the best football player around.
