About This Product

The Weighted Football is an intermediate-size training ball in 2lb and 3lb — a game-shaped ball, at two to three times a game ball’s weight, for warm-ups and throwing drills.

The Weighted Football is a durable molded rubber football with a secure grip, built in two weights: 2lb and 3lb. A game football weighs about a pound, so each throw with this ball moves substantially more mass through the same throwing motion. Use it for warm-up throws and drill work in football, baseball, and other throwing sports. Start with the 2lb ball and treat the 3lb ball as a step up, not a starting point. It is best thrown into nets, and we do not recommend playing catch with it.

  • Two weights for progression — 2lb and 3lb options, so the load steps up only when the lighter ball feels controlled.
  • Game shape, training weight — Intermediate size with a football’s shape and laces, so the grip and throwing motion stay familiar while the weight changes.
  • Molded rubber grip — A secure, consistent hold for drill work, throw after throw.
  • Warm-ups and drills — Built for warm-up throws and throwing drills, not for games.
  • Durable construction — Molded rubber built for regular training use.

What Is It?

The Weighted Football is a throwing-training ball: an intermediate-size football made of molded rubber, weighted to 2lb or 3lb instead of a game ball’s roughly one pound. The shape, laces, and grip are a football’s; only the mass changes. That makes it a simple overload tool — the athlete throws a familiar object, and the added weight is what makes each throw a different task.

  • Built for: Football, baseball, and other throwing-sport athletes and the coaches who run their throwing work.
  • Best used: Warm-up throws and controlled throwing drills in short sets, starting with the 2lb ball at submaximal intent.

How It Works

Same throw, more mass, two steps of load

Added mass, same motion

The ball keeps a game football’s shape and grip, so the throwing motion stays the athlete’s own. What changes is the mass each throw has to move.

Two-step progression

Start at 2lb. The 3lb ball is a progression for when throws with the lighter ball stay smooth and controlled — not a starting weight.

Grip that stays put

Molded rubber with laces gives a secure, repeatable hold, so drill work stays consistent from the first throw to the last.

What the Research Says

A Heavier Ball for Throwing Drills

Programs use weighted balls like this one as an overload throwing task: warm-up throws and drill work where the athlete throws a familiar-shaped ball that weighs more than a game ball. The mechanism is the mass itself — each throw moves 2lb or 3lb through the throwing motion instead of about a pound — and the two weights let a coach set the size of that step. Short sets, controlled intent, and the lighter ball first are how the tool is normally run.

No peer-reviewed study has tested the Weighted Football itself. This description does not claim that the product increases throwing velocity, builds arm strength, improves throwing efficiency, or prevents or reduces injury risk; outcomes depend on the full program, the workload, and the athlete. It is a training tool, not a medical or rehabilitation device.

Product Details

How to Use It

Warm-up use: After a general warm-up, use the 2lb ball for a small number of easy, submaximal throws before regular throwing. The athlete should finish prepared, not fatigued.

Drill use: In a throwing block, run short sets of controlled throws into a net, with full attention to mechanics, starting with the 2lb ball. Move to the 3lb ball only when throws with the lighter ball stay smooth and controlled, and keep volumes low — this is a heavy implement, not a high-rep one.

Light-day use: The Weighted Football is not a recovery-day tool. On true recovery days, most athletes are better served by easy movement, light catch with a game ball, and rest.

Start with the 2lb ball. The 3lb ball is a progression step for athletes whose throws stay controlled at 2lb. Both are intermediate size, made of durable molded rubber with a secure grip.

Who This Is For
  • Commonly used for football, baseball, and other throwing-sport athletes who want a heavier-ball option in warm-ups and throwing drills.
  • Commonly used for coaches running throwing work, where two weights set the size of the overload step.
  • Commonly used for athletes at different levels, with the lighter ball first, volumes kept low, and progressions conservative for younger athletes, and movement quality as the standard.
Safety, Compliance, and Youth Guardrails

This is training equipment, not a toy, and it is not a game ball — do not use it in games, scrimmages, or contact drills. It is best thrown into nets, and we do not recommend playing catch with it. Start with the 2lb ball at submaximal intent and progress only when throws stay controlled. For younger athletes, keep volumes low and progressions conservative with hands-on coaching. Stop if anything hurts, and do not use the Weighted Football to diagnose, treat, or rehabilitate an injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which weight should I start with?

Start with the 2lb ball. Move to the 3lb ball only when throws with the lighter ball stay smooth and controlled.

Is the Weighted Football a game ball?

No. It is an intermediate-size training ball that weighs 2lb or 3lb — two to three times a game ball ’s weight. It is built for warm-ups and throwing drills, not for games.

Will it increase my throwing velocity or prevent injuries?

No such result is guaranteed. No peer-reviewed study has tested the Weighted Football itself, and outcomes depend on the complete program, the workload, and the athlete.
