Light Up the Game: Introducing the Nerf Lightstrike Vortex Football – Now Available in Australia!

11th Jul 2025

If you’re looking for a way to get the kids off screens and into the backyard, Nerf has just launched the ultimate solution: the Nerf Lightstrike Vortex Football. It’s loud, it’s bright, it’s safe — and it’s guaranteed to be the hit of any outdoor (or indoor!) game.

Whether you’re planning backyard footy during a summer BBQ or a nighttime game under the stars, this LED-powered football is built to thrill.

What Is the Nerf Lightstrike Vortex Football?

Part of Nerf’s latest innovation in active play, the Lightstrike Vortex Football is no ordinary foam ball. Designed with impact-activated LED lights, it lights up on every throw, catch, or bounce, automatically shutting off when not in use to preserve battery life.

Better still? It changes colour as it glows, cycling through red, green, blue, and more – adding a visual edge to every game, whether it’s day or night.

And yes, it still includes that classic Vortex whistle we all know and love — giving it a distinct sound effect as it flies through the air.

Why Aussie Families Will Love It

Let’s be honest – in Australia, we live for outdoor fun. But whether it's summer evenings, camping trips, beach days, or rainy indoor play, the Lightstrike Vortex Football is designed to suit any environment:

  • ✅ Soft foam construction means it’s safe for little hands and safe inside the home.

  • Perfect for kids aged 6+ – though big kids (and parents) love it too!
