Squash Fun in the Sun!



Summer is finally here! Winter is far behind us, in the almost unforeseeable distance.
Its time to kick back, relax and enjoy the summer…

Oh yes!

 I’m sure this is something we’d all like to do this summer. But for some, we have a small, yet very messy and sugar driven problem… what to do with the kids!
Well why not get your kids into sport. The amount of enjoyment a child will have learning a new skill, plus of course the added benefit of lots of exercise (sleepy children by 8pm), and don't forget actually enjoying the sun for once.
And yes there are outside squash courts, but please remember to book them first! But if you think about it all you early need is a wall. I've recently tested a child’s Squash racket and two sorts of squash ball. Dunlop Mini ball (orange) and Dunlop Mini ball (pink).
Dunlop play mini ball orange is a ball for children aged 7 to 10 years old. This ball is part of the Play product range and is developed for young children who are looking to develop key skills in the game of Squash. The Play range is the second development stage of the Dunlop Mini Squash Programme. (Pack of 3)

The second is Dunlop Pink Mini Squash 12 Ball Box has been designed for young up and coming squash players who are trying to build a passion for the game and have some fun at the same time. Official W.S.F balls, made from a spongy foam that bounces well and gives the young players the chance to just enjoy themselves. (Pack of 12)

My review: 
I found that the orange ball got warmer with use but not hot. As it was warm, it got bouncier and therefore easy to play with as gave the children longer to hit the ball.
The Pink ball was more appealing to younger children, this is because they are very soft and don't warm up at all. Which makes it safer and easier to use, especially young beginners.
If you do decide to do anything this summer. Make it sports.
