Q: Why are you recommending the use of a sponge, red or orange ball?
A: This is for safety and success. Safety of you and your surroundings as we don't want to you break any items and these balls are not as heavy as a regular ball. Success wise these balls will not move as quick so you should be able to hit more balls in a row.

Q: Do I have buy the listed equipment to take part?
A: No, if you don't have the exact equipment listed then this is a great chance to be creative. For example any type of ball can be used (within reason), instead of a wall use a fence or a thick tree, build your own hurdle, etc. However if you wish to purchase equipment please don't spend a lot of money (all the gear & no idea is not the aim)! Have a look on Amazon or Zsig or Decathlon as starting points.
