I've been saying it for years; Footballs. Probably no more expensive than the soccer balls this year. Probably just as tough. And it is a really hard shape to manipulate. They don't roll straight and they bounce erratically. Couple this with another game piece (maybe softballs) and you will have teams thinking more strategically since all but a few teams will not be able to manipulate both balls.
