Apparatus Care
  • Store your ball in a woollen beanie (hat) when not in use - this will help prevent scratches
  • Do not use the ball on concrete or near brick walls
  • Do not wash the ball in hot water as the inside will pop - Use a damp cloth instead
  • When inflating the ball use vaseline on the needle
