Starting Out 1.4 – EQUIPMENT

To set up a fun and engaging atmosphere in your classes it helps tremendously to have the correct equipment on hand for games and learning, so you can cater for all ages and levels of junior players in your program.

Here is our recommended list of equipment for your sports bag to have on the ready:

  • Dodgeballs, Balloons, Hoops, Beans Bags, Painters Tape, Cones, Skipping Ropes, Rubber Targets and Various balls


SQUASH BALL CHOICES:

We strongly recommend having bouncer and mini squash balls available to use for your youngest juniors. Red and blue dot squash balls will give juniors a better experience because they bounce more.
