At Blogger Bash Sweet Suite 2016 I learned about these new sports balls called Reactorz from COOP Sports. I was sent three of them to play with in exchange for an honest review. I also got one at Blogger Bash and gave it to my neighbor so that he and his son could play with them, together. They are out later than my kids.

I was on the Cape today and things are always later on the Cape. Stay a little longer at the beach, have dinner a little later at night and that means that it was a great night to go out and play with the Reactorz. These are pretty amazing sports balls that light up with you throw them, kick them and catch them. They also light up when you kick them and they bounce along the ground. The kids were having so much fun with these balls and their cousins. They were fascinated by the light up function of these balls. I like the playground ball the most. You can kick it and throw it and it is super bright. The Gripz ball is also nice because it is great for playing catch.

The one ball that didn’t light up as well was the mini football. I don’t know if we need to pump it up more or not but it didn’t seem to light up consistently as the other two balls. It still felt great to throw and catch. The other two balls, the Gripz and the Playground ball were very responsive to our play and lit up like crazy. I see the kids playing with these together often over the Summer and Early Fall.

PLAY LIKE NEWTON: FOR EVERY ACTION THERE’S AN EQUAL ILLUMINATED REACTION WITH REACTORZ

Pick A Sport Then Wait For Sunset! Reactorz Line Of Balls And Discs Delivers A Burst Of Light With Every Touch, Tap, Throw Or Kick

Virginia Beach, VA (July 19, 2016) – COOP Sports offers so many ways for kids to get outside and move that’s there never an excuse, even if it’s dark! Their newest line is Reactorz, made with Reactive Light Technology, so a kicked soccer ball or a tossed football becomes illuminated on contact. Like Isaac Newton’s law of motion, for every action – toss, throw, kick – there’s an equal and quite bright reaction when kids play with one of eight Reactorz products. From regulation-sized basketball and soccer to football (throws just like a real, regular football!) and disc, these awe-inspiring sporting goods are priced an allowance-friendly $5.99 to $19.99.

Imagine the added surprise to a kickball or four square game with the Reactorz 8″ Playground Ball ($17.99). Built-in LEDs create a flash of light with each toss and catch. Textured, semi rigid construction makes the ball easy to grip, throw and kick. See it in action in the video on their site.

How does it work? Don’t look for the on/off switch because there isn’t one! Coop designers, prized for their attention to detail, took a whole year of product development to get this just right! The secret is the long-lasting battery life built in each ball, and the micro prism core that refracts light. Then they put their focus on the exterior. Each Reactorz boasts one of three core colors – Atomic (lime) Ice (blue) and Lava (red). Covering the balls is a contrasting shield color. The final result is like nothing else on the market!

Head a soccer ball as the sun is setting and your team mates might see one of three effects – Atomic Core/Plasma Shield, Lava Core/Laser Shield or Ice Core/Biogreen Shield. The flying disc is the exception with a color scheme of four swirls: Atomic Swirl, Laser Swirl, Atomic Tribal and Atomic Swirl.

Reactorz doesn’t need to wait for the sun to go down as their LED lights dazzle brightly morning, noon or night.

As their website http://coop-sports.com/reactorz.aspx explains, “the core refracts light while the shield blocks it, creating a unique lighting effect and interactive experience between the ball and players.”

Look for this collection at Toys R Us (in stores and online) and Academy Sports + Outdoors stores. All are designed for girls and boys ages 5 and up. Four of the items enjoy an under-$10 price tag! Consider wrapping one up for a great birthday gift or good report card reward.
