Air Pressure

The air pressure that supposed to be used should be stamped somewhere on the ball. I've carried a small pressure guage in my bag for years- to use both for football or basketball. It's an old coaches trick to over or under-inflate a ball, depending on whether he wants to run or slow down a running opponent. Just test the game ball- takes but a second- and then tell the head coach to either put more air in the ball or get you another one. If the ball has too much air in it, I carry a needle also to deflate the ball until it's OK.

Excellent points JR...On the drop...I've had balls that only come up to my knees (Hmmmmm, that doesn't sound right)...and then again balls that bounce up to my face.(Hmmmm, I better work on my communication skills here)
