Hello,

Our QB/running backs coach is looking for several items.

1. A football with no laces
2. A water filled football
3. Something similar to the Fisher Tug-A-Ball strap

Thanks in advance for the help.

We make our own water filled footballs.  It’s a timely process, but a pretty simple one. 

 

·         Get a bucket full of water and a helmet pump

·         Draw water into the needle on the helmet pump by sticking the pump in the water and squeezing it like you would to put air in a helmet, release it to draw the water into the pump

·         Once there is water in the pump, stick the needle in the football and squeeze the water into the ball (a fully inflated ball will work best)

·         You will have to do this step many times to get the amount of water that you want in the ball

o   We typically fill the ball halfway up so the water sloshes around and the weight shifts while the running backs carry the ball

 

Hope that helps.

A follow up to Brad's method.

Instead of a helmet pump, try:
-a plunger style pump, most soccer teams have them(picture attached).
 
 


-Some company used to sell a needle/tube combo that attached to the sink but you could make your own with a trip to Home Depot. Start with the stem part of a helmet pump(because needle is attached). From Home Depot glue a piece of 1/4" tubing over the edge of the stem(make sure one way valve is removed). Next glue a 3/8 piece of tube over the 1/4". Finally attach to a 3/4 Garden Hose to 3/8" Adaptor(picture attached).  You might have to play with different hose size to find the exact combination that fits together.  Attach to garden hose.
