# Specialist Rugby Training Balls ## Weighted Rugby Balls - Gilbert Morgan & Rhino Storm Weighted [rugby balls](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-balls "rugby balls") are heavier than a standard match ball and are used specifically to build passing strength and accuracy. Training with a weighted ball develops the arm and shoulder muscles used in the passing action, improving power and distance over time. The Gilbert Morgan and Rhino Storm are the two options in this range. Both are available in [size 5](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/size-5-rugby-balls "size 5 rugby balls"); the Gilbert Morgan is also available in [size 4](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/size-4-rugby-balls "size 4 rugby ball") for junior players working on their passing game. Neither is intended for match play - they are coaching and development tools. ## Rugby Ball Rebounders - Gilbert & Rhino Reflex Rugby ball rebounders are half-shaped balls with a flat end designed to bounce unpredictably off a wall, replicating the awkward bounces players face in match conditions. They develop reaction time and handling under pressure in a way a standard ball cannot. The [Gilbert](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/gilbert-rugby-balls "Gilbert Rugby ball") Rebounder and [Rhino](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rhino-rugby-balls "Rhino Rugby Balls") Reflex are both available in this range in size 4 and size 5. A practical solo training tool that works equally well for individual players and coached sessions. ## Technique and Skill Development Balls ### Rhino Breeze - Lightweight Technique Ball The Rhino Breeze is an ultra-lightweight ball at 325g, well below the weight of a standard [training rugby ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/training-rugby-balls "training rugby balls"). The reduced weight forces players to adapt their handling technique, developing a more sensitive touch and greater control. It's used by coaches to isolate catching and passing mechanics, particularly useful for younger players developing their handling fundamentals. ### Rhino Sirocco - Unstable Training Ball The Rhino Sirocco is specifically designed to be unpredictable in flight, creating an unstable ball that challenges players' reactions and adaptability.  ### Rhino Mistral - Grip Developer The Rhino Mistral has a smooth, gripless surface that makes catching and handling significantly more challenging than a standard ball. Train with it regularly and a normal match ball will feel like it's glued to your hands. A simple but effective tool for developing ball security and hand strength. ## Touch and Beach Rugby Balls ### Gilbert Touch Ball The Gilbert Touch ball is designed specifically for touch rugby, with a construction suited to the faster, more handling-intensive nature of the format. ### Gilbert Surf Ball The Gilbert Surf ball is built for wet and beach conditions, with a surface construction designed to maintain grip in sand and water. A popular choice for beach rugby sessions and summer training. ### Rhino Touch Ball The Rhino Touch ball covers the same use case as the Gilbert equivalent - a handling-focused ball for touch and tag rugby formats. ### Rhino Barracuda Beach Ball The Rhino Barracuda is designed for beach rugby, built to handle the conditions of sand and outdoor play. A good option for clubs running beach or summer sevens sessions. ## Junior Specialist Training Balls ### Rhino Foam Ball The Rhino foam ball is a soft foam option designed for young children being introduced to the game. Safe for indoor and outdoor use, it's a practical first ball for very young players before they move on to a standard rubber or synthetic ball. ## Products in this collection - [Atreq Reaction Ball 20cm](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/reaction-ball-20cm) - 17.99 GBP - [Gilbert Morgan Pass Developer Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/morgan-pass-developer-rugby-ball) - 55.99 GBP - [Gilbert Pro Touch Match Rugby Ball Green](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/pro-touch-match-rugby-ball-green) - 32.99 GBP - [Gilbert Rebounder Reaction Training Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rebounder-reaction-training-rugby-ball) - 22.99 GBP - [Gilbert Surf Rugby Ball Blue Size 5](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/gilbert-surf-rugby-ball-blue) - 14.99 GBP - [Gilbert Surf Rugby Ball Green Size 5](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/gilbert-surf-rugby-ball-green-size-5) - 14.99 GBP - [Gilbert Touch Rugby Ball Pink/Blue](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/touch-rugby-ball-pink-blue) - 16.99 GBP - [Precision Sponge Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/precision-sponge-rugby-ball) - 9.99 GBP - [Precision Training Reaction Ball 10cm](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/reaction-ball-10cm) - 5.99 GBP - [Precision Training Reaction Ball 6.5cm](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/reaction-ball-6-5com) - 4.99 GBP - [Rhino Barracuda Midi Beach Pro Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-barracuda-midi-beach-pro-rugby-ball) - 9.99 GBP - [Rhino Barracuda Size 4.5 Beach Pro Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/barracuda-beach-pro-rugby-ball) - 11.99 GBP - [Rhino Breeze Light Training Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-breeze-light-training-rugby-ball) - 12.99 GBP - [Rhino Mistral Grip Developer Training Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/mistral-grip-developer-rugby-ball) - 14.99 GBP - [Rhino Reflex Recycled Rugby Ball White/Green](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-reflex-recycled-rugby-ball-white-green) - 28.99 GBP - [Rhino Reflex Rugby Ball White/Red](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/reflex-rugby-ball) - 24.99 GBP - [Rhino Sirocco Unstable Training Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-sirocco-unstable-training-rugby-ball) - 16.99 GBP - [Rhino Sponge Rugby Ball Blue](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-sponge-rugby-ball-blue) - 9.99 GBP - [Rhino Sponge Rugby Ball Pink](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-sponge-rugby-ball-pink) - 9.99 GBP - [Rhino Sponge Rugby Ball Yellow](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/sponge-rugby-ball) - 9.99 GBP - [Rhino Storm Pass Developer Training Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/storm-pass-developer-rugby-ball) - 29.99 GBP - [Rhino Touch Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/rhino-touch-rugby-ball) - 14.99 GBP --- > Source: [Rugbystuff.com](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/specialist-rugby-training-balls) > Updated: 2026-07-04
