Professional Sports Men & Women
Crazy Catch is brilliant. We use it for warm up purposes and also for individual catching practice. The ball comes back much faster than it would off a wall and the trajectories are not predictable. This combination provides excellent catching training. We are so delighted with it we are going to make it a standard part of the England squad training>> Dr Paul M Hildreth, Rock-It-Ball LLP.
“Crazy Ball is a fantastic game in itself but it is also an excellent warm up routine.It has pace, agility, balance as well as the fundamentals of throwing and catching. The boys quickly found out that communication and movement is key and it built a real team spirit. Eaton Gordon Level 3 ECB Coach and Chance 2 Shine Coach.

Community Leaders And Players
The CrazyBall game is very exciting and energetic. It combines teamwork with speed, agility and co-ordination. It covers all areas of fitness and is a great way of improving general ball skills.. This will be a great game once it gets into schools and more people start playing it. Mikey Cartwright -Community Sports Leader.
I really enjoyed the CrazyBall. I think that the warmup (where we all ran around to catch the ball from the crazy catch) was definitely the best.After playing with the hard ball I realised that it is’nt as hard as you think, so I think even little children will be ok to play with it!!
