Any ideas better than tape?
Has anyone tried hot glue?
Hot glue works quite well when the band is intact, just failed at the connection.

Remove the stitches from the affected band.
Slide the fabric cover around until both ends are out of the cover.
Remove the old failed glue.
Add hot glue, and snap into place.
Clean up any rough edges before you replace the cover. It can snag and rip.

So far we've only had one ball out for testing, and have only had one band become disconnected.
