Pray for Rain

I’m convinced that one of the reasons basketball has become more popular in recent years is because you don’t need an entire team to have fun. With a basketball goal on every playground and at the end of every other driveway, kids can shoot baskets by themselves for hours upon hours. Baseball, and other team sports, suffer by comparison because it’s hard to enjoy the sport when you’re alone in your own backyard.

I’ve recommended the SoloHitter before, after just a week of using it, and now that I’ve gone through an entire season with it, I thought I’d recommend it again. And I recommend it not just as a training device for kids….I use it myself, and I’m not training for anything at all. I get tremendous satisfaction from slugging that ball hanging from a bungee cord in the evening after work. It’s a little pricey, but probably no more expensive than putting up a basketball goal at the end of the driveway.
