Ball descriptions

Red Ball:  larger ball with 25% air for younger kids and size, ages 4-7.  Slower, lower bouncing ball with a bigger circumference enabling smaller kids to be more successful with hitting.

​

Orange Dot:  normal size ball, lighter weight with 50% air for kids ages 6-10.  This ball is for kids still developing strokes and smaller kids.  It is light so it can’t travel too far and the bounce is low for a good contact height.

 

Green Dot:  normal size ball, light weight with 75% air.  This all is for the more advanced or older kids ages 10-14 that are now playing points and have developed consistent strokes.  Lighter than a regular ball and less air so the bounce is still lower and the lighter ball helps with consistency.  Next ball from here is the yellow ball!
