Founded in 2011, The International Sphaeralogical Society was created to celebrate the history and dynamism of the Super Ball®. Invented by chemist Norman Stingley in 1965 and sold by the Wham-O Manufacturing Co., the iconic toy has been the subject of fascination and play for almost half a century. The I.S.S. is dedicated to exploring and promoting the allure of this bounciest of balls.

BOUNCE!: Inspired by the World's Most Amazing Ball!
Hello Sphaeralogists and Sphaeralogical Fanatics,
We here at the I.S.S. are proud to share the GREAT!! news that we will be partnering with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh CLICK ME!!! on the AMAZING, BRAND NEW!! show
The #BRILLIANT folks at the CMoP have been hard at work thinking up Wild & Crazy ways to look at the Bouncy Ball from a frrreessshhh... perspective and our fearless Co-Founder and Chief Sphaeralogist, Henry J. Simonds, has been collaborating on some INCREDIBLE! original displays. During the run of the show, Mr. Simonds will be keeping regular irregular hours each month to oversee programs and enlighten the small minded patrons - THIS IS A CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, SO THEY LITERALLY HAVE SMALLER BRAINS.
SO... come on out during those cold, winter months and warm up by the light of tiny thoughts brightening as they - and you Big Kids! - get all wound up and giggly with excitment at the sight and sheer joy of playing with BOUNCY BALLS!!!!
Sincerely,
The Founders
