Does this work for High School level players?

Good question. I really don't like this device, but the short answer is....it might. It's just annoying. As I said the review, the balls get stuck in the shoot and they don't really come out in a predictable rhythm. Of course that's fine, since the idea is to stride and load and be ready for any type or speed of pitch. The ball does drop fast. Feel free to email me if you have more questions. I coach HS JV in Ohio. kclar@hawken.edu

It's a great concept, however the design is not that great. I returned my after the first time trying it. Balls do not feed down shoot smoothly and tended to jam several times. Soft toss can get the same result

Yes. My next door neighbor, play's varsity baseball and he love's it could select speed and time drop to work on swing speed..I use it for my travel team and they enjoy it...

No the ball comes out slow and drops on the trampoline thing on the ground and bounces up and then the hit it. The ball kept getting stuck also. It's good for kids just learning thou

Machine would probably work for a small venue like a high school game..I think it would not work for a real high output venue.

I have used it in my second grade classroom...with the entire class. I choose someone to roll the dice and post the numbers on the board. Then volunteers come up and write their equations. It works with all levels, because the lower kids are doing simple equations (2+2=4) while my high kids like to see if they can use all 5 of the numbers on the colored dice to hit the target number (2+3-1+2-2=4). To use it with the whole class, we just disregard the gameboard and see how many different equations we can find.

I have used it in tournaments. Each course or tournament may have different rules. You need to check with your tournament chairperson to make sure they have not excluded the use of such devices.

Absolutely. Used by high school athlete and performed exactly as advertised with added stabilization, compression and comfort.

I used to install school intercom and PA systems for a living. While it may seem very loud to a home owner it is not designed for that type of application. It will not be of any practical used in a high school basketball court.

I think so. I gave this to my niece who was 12 or 13 at the time. She had been on a bb team the year before & wanted this to help improve. She loved it!

They should be able to read proficiently. There is a lot of rule changing so they need to be able to follow their own card information to keep up with the rest of the game.

Yes. I've used it with older and taller kids in that range. It is adjustable. If it's just for you and your kid it should work nicely. If it's a whole team that height and age range it may not last the whole season depending on amount of use in practice. It's durable though. I've been happy with it.

yes, it was for my 10 year old son and it works well. may not work well for larger adults.

They would be able to handle it themselves...once they understand the rules. Though this is the Junior version of the game, there are still a few rules. My 7 year old kind of makes things up he doesn't remember when I'm not playing, but he still has a good time with his friends that are around his same age. If you're willing to play it a few times to help them learn the rules, then this game would be enjoyable to them by themselves. There's not much reading once you know the rules. Just rolling the dice and moving your pieces depending on what you roll.

Yes. It worked great. My daughter even was heading the ball, although I would not recommend it.

I always "assume" youth to be anything from 5th grade to 8th grade kids before high school. I bought a few of these for our 5th& 6th grade football team this past fall for our QB to use. I think this would be good for a 5'4" 125lb kid - boy or girl should be fine. It worked perfectly for our QB, who probably was maybe a bit smaller and still worked fine.

I've only played it with people in their 20's & older. There is no 'top' limit, but one would need to have an adult education to know most of the references and keep track of the rules of the game.

Yes it would help anyone of any age. It has lines to teach them to keep there swing path straight and not turn the putter before, during and after striking the ball. It's marked out to a 7' putt, and also show you the length of your back swing and how far to take your after swing. I use my every day.

Absolutely!!! I introduced my son to the game when he was about four years old and when I taught school, even my fifth graders loved it! When they are really young you can play with all of the cards "up". Once they catch on, play with two up and two down, but no peeking.... it helps them first know the value of numbers and then the memory of where they are at!

Well if u put ur net at 7ft u r way to low!!!!! Unless u r just party players trying to feel tough... U r hurting real players and if kids that play school vball r using that u r hurting them by being to low. I coach 3 clkub teams and youngest team is made up of 1st & 2nd graders and they play on a 7'. 6" net... So if u r trying to help kids u need to raise it
