Award-Winning Ollyball® Bounces into New York Toy Fair 2026 as a TOTY Finalist, Fueled by TikTok's Keepy Uppy® Craze

NEW YORK - Feb. 12, 2026 - PRLog -- Victury Sports, the innovative force behind interactive full-force play, announces its flagship 2X Utility Patented Ollyball® will headline its presence at New York Toy Fair 2026 with a formidable award streak. The company arrives as a 2026 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Finalist in the Educational Toy category for its STEAM Master Artist Edition and fresh off dual award wins: the Keepy Uppy® ball, available at all U.S. Target Stores, claimed the Influencers Choice Award, while Ollyball secured its ninth industry award by winning the Kids Choice Award at the Australian Toy Fair.

This momentum builds on the viral #KeepyUppyChallenge hosted on www.KeepyUppy.com, which ignited at the NBA All-Star Game and became a global TikTok phenomenon, now validated by formal recognition from influencers and children worldwide.

"Ollyball was created for my daughter when she was eight years old and crying in our kitchen after playing ball in the house. We are incredibly honored that our products are resonating worldwide with other kids, parents, schools, counselors, assisted living homes, and memory care centers." said Joe Burke, Founder and CEO of Victury Sports. "Our mission is connecting globally, as we open distribution in our 11th country this year. We're excited to bring this energy to Toy Fair."
