Franklin Sports Kids Football Target Toss Game - Portable Inflatable

Our review of the Franklin Sports Kids Football Target Toss Game finds it well suited for families, PE teachers and anyone who wants a simple, portable way to practice throwing. The single biggest reason to buy is its easy setup and transportability: the inflatable 3-hole target folds down for storage and the water-fillable base keeps it standing up even after hard throws. This review focuses on real use in backyards, basements and casual party settings to help decide if it fits your play needs.

Key Features

• Inflatable 3-hole target: The tri-target design creates immediate throwing goals that make practice feel like a game for kids and beginners.
• Portable design: The target deflates and stores small, making it convenient to take to the park, beach or a friend's house.
• Water-fillable base: Adding water gives the target stability so it rights itself when knocked down and stays anchored during play.
• Durable PVC construction: The PVC material is intended to handle repeated throws and kicks during casual play and practice.
• Complete set included: The package includes a 45 in inflatable target, two 7.25 in mini PVC footballs and a hand pump so you have everything to start tossing immediately.

Who It's For

The target is best for young players, families and school PE instructors looking for an inexpensive way to introduce throwing accuracy and friendly competition. It works well for backyard parties, gym class warmups or casual weekend practice where portability and quick setup matter.

People seeking a heavy-duty training aid for serious football drills or equipment that must withstand constant, intense use should look elsewhere; the inflatable nature and customer notes about air retention mean it is better as a recreational toy than as pro-level practice gear.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy to set up, deflate and transport so play can move locations quickly.
• Includes two mini footballs and a pump so no extra purchases are needed to start playing.
• Water-fillable base improves stability and helps the target pop back up after knocks.

Cons

• Some users report air retention issues and mixed durability, so occasional re-inflation may be necessary.
