Orange Ball
Orange Hot Shots is about developing more advanced technical skills and enhancing fundamental and perceptual motor skills. Players start to explore their court positioning and learn tactical methods.
Orange ball is conducted on a ¾ court and may alter to a full court. It allows the children to swing harder through the ball contact zone and necessitates a quicker response to shots, hence developing faster judgement and quicker movement.
