Focus
The ball never stops coming back. There is no fielding, no walking, no waiting — just repetition, which is exactly what a young attention span needs.

Train early.
KiTi Junior is the hand-eye coordination training bat for young cricketers. It helps sharpen focus, improve ball tracking and build better batting habits — from the very start.

What it is
A rubber ball, an elastic string, and a lot of repetitions.
A rubber ball hangs from the bat on an elastic string. The player hits it, it comes straight back, and the game is simply to keep it going on the face of the bat.
The Junior is 30 cm long and 11 cm wide — a short swing and a wide face, so a five-year-old gets clean contact almost immediately and stays interested. It is cut from South African pine plywood, which keeps it light in small hands and tough enough for a driveway.
No bowler, no net, no space needed. It lives in a cricket bag, costs little enough to buy a set for a squad, and a child can pick it up and start on their own.

Why it works
Four things it fixes
Ball tracking
The eyes learn to follow the ball right onto the face instead of jumping ahead to where the player hopes it will be.
Hand-eye coordination
A narrow face rewards a clean strike and punishes a wild one. The correction happens instantly, without a coach having to say a word.
Better habits, earlier
Still head, still hands, eyes down. Habits built at eight are the ones still there at eighteen.
How to use it
Five minutes, anywhere.
- Hold it properly
Normal batting grip, normal stance. If the grip is wrong here, it will be wrong in the middle.
- Start slow
Gentle taps, keeping the ball on the face. The goal is contact in the middle, not power.
- Count the hits
See how many you can keep going without dropping it. Beating yesterday's number is the whole game.
- Mix it up
Left hand only, right hand only, alternating faces, eyes on the ball the whole way.
Coach's tip: Two minutes at the start of a session, every session, does more than a long block once a week. Consistency is what builds the reflex.
