Abstract: Improvements in a football and beach ball to allow the balls to be used at night. The illumination from the “EL” lights gives the ball an exciting kaleidoscope of color as it spirals, adding a new and exciting twist to an old game in addition to adding safety to night play. The ball is made of various colored self-skinning flexible urethane foam, or elastomer and has grip ridges between electroluminescent lighting that surrounds ball. The ball is formed with grip ridges to allow small to large hands to easily grip the ball and throw a spiral when wet or dry. At least two different colors of EL lights are equally spaced and glued to the outside of the ball to allow spin on a ball to be more visible. The ball has a compartment that holds a power supply on/off switch and the EL driver.
