How it started

It started with a ball of tape.

  1. A wall, some tape, and a catch.

    The first Yardball wasn't a product. It was a ball of blue painter's tape, pulled off a wall after a project and tossed around for fun. Somehow, it was perfect.

  2. Then it wore out.

    That's when we noticed what it had been doing all along: starting easy, spontaneous catches with whoever was around.

  3. So we built one that lasts.

    We dialed in the size, gave it a wool core, and wrapped it in soft, broken-in leather that feels right from the first throw. Hand-stitched in Kansas City.

Now it shows up at backyard games, tailgates, and plenty of ordinary afternoons.

Why it works

Good for more than catch

Keep one in the car, one on the desk, and one by the back door.

  • Always catch ready

    No glove required.

  • No baseball scaries

    Yardball won't hurt.

  • Made for tailgating

    It's a party starter.

  • The ultimate fidget

    Boredom, solved.

How it works
  1. Pick your ball

    Find the leather and thread that feel like you.

  2. Take it anywhere

    Backyard, beach, break room.

  3. Have a catch

    That's the whole thing.
