Red rubber spheres

Kickballs is the plural of kickball, a playground game similar to baseball but played with a large rubber ball that players kick instead of hit with a bat: We played kickballs during recess.

The term can also refer to the balls themselves: The gym closet was full of kickballs and jump ropes.
