Portable bowling machine for junior training sessions, to improve batting basics

Lightweight and portable, with a small rechargeable battery, a junior bowling machine will revolutionise batting training for kids aged 7-15. Coaches can only be so accurate with throw downs and bobble feeds, whilst junior bowling can be wayward, which all leads to kids not being able to benefit from repetitive practice of shots off front and back foot. Restricted to softer balls, and a max speed of c.60mph, it is ideal for use over shorter lengths now associated with junior cricket. Can be used indoors in winter and outdoors in summer.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Can be used indoors and outdoors, with kids of all ages. Accurate delivery of softer balls will allow coaches to work with kids’ to improve shots off front and back foot, thus leading to better coaching and better players, happier parents and more juniors in following years.
Steps to get it done:
Not suitable for adults, so won’t be sequestered by them ... and get broken! Testimonial from Minster CC: ‘we’ve seen significant increases in the levels of batting confidence of all our young cricketers, which allows them to practice more shots more often, score more runs and ultimately enjoy playing cricket.’

VolunteerInner-city south Manchester sports club with diverse socio-economic, ethnic and cultural membership, ranging from All Stars juniors to seniors with 40+ seasons experience. The club nearly closed in the late-90s, but has prospered in the last 20 years thanks to the hard work of dedicated members, players and parents etc. Judicious investment of surpluses, allied to funding and grants from local authorities, Sport England, ECB, LTA and many others has allowed us to improve facilities on and off the pitch whilst keeping membership fees low and affordable. This has led to success on and off the pitch at all levels. The club is run by committees appointed at AGMs open to all senior members. The business model allows us to be sustainable but never profligate.
