Want a present your kids can use all year round. Indoors or outdoors, rain or shine then Crazy Catch could be the one for you. Not only can kids of all ages have hours of fun with Crazy Catch, but they’ll be keeping fit and learning hand-eye coordination skills at the same time.

Crazy Catch, as featured on the BBC News Saturday morning sports slot with Mike Bushell,  is a revolutionary double-sided rebound net reaction trainer used in schools, sports clubs, and by top sports professionals all over the world. Distributed in the UK by Flicx leading distributor of high quality portable synthetic cricket pitches and coaching equipment, it is the perfect toy for children of all ages.

Crazy Catch is a free standing, inverted V shaped net with two sides. Throw a ball of any shape or size and one side provides a regular return. The other side is a bit different. It’s double-sprung giving you an erratic, insane return. Great for sharpening those reactions and challenging friends and family that little bit more.

‘I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want one,’ says mum Johanna Dodds, whose children aged 8-15 all use Crazy Catch in their garden, and on the local common, ‘you can make your own games up, take it down the park with friends or even use it as a ten minute break in between revising.’

Sports teachers and sports coaches all over the country use Crazy Catch to train their youngsters. Crazy Catch is also used by the British Olympic team, Red Bull’s Formula One racing team and the England cricket team to help sharpen reflexes. All over the country professional footballers, badminton players, rugby teams and tennis players use Crazy Catch. Crazy Catch helps improve vision and hand-eye coordination, so it’s useful in any sport.

Peter Such, Graeme Swann’s predecessor as the England cricket team’s off spinner, recently bought a Crazy Catch for his six year old son.‘Within a matter of days, I could see a dramatic improvement in his catching ability, both in technique and coordination,’ Peter says. ‘A knock on effect of this has been much improved confidence in his catching, not to mention the fun and enjoyment from playing. It is brilliant for developing and honing catching techniques and provides hours of fun.’

So if you’re fed up with being told how unfit your children are? Tired of hearing teachers and sports coaches complaining that parents don’t encourage their children to do physical activity? And frustrated at having to drag your kids kicking and screaming from their TV screens and games consoles in order to get them up and active? Get them Crazy Catch this Christmas, and they too can have fun like the stars.
