The Wilson NCAA Red Zone Football is ready for hours of play among all ability levels. The composite leather cover is easier to catch and offers a softer feel than traditional leather. All four panels are sewed together around the bladder, not glued on, which increases the durability of the ball by eliminating the possibility of panels peeling off when the glue weakens. Micro-textured laces provide enhanced throwing grip. This football is the NCAA's official size, recommended for ages 14 and up. Also available in junior (ages 9-12) and peewee (ages 6-9) sizes.
