Best Junior Practice Nets

How to pick a home practice net that will actually get used, and our top pick.

The single biggest factor in whether a home practice net gets used is friction: if a child has to chase every ball across the yard, practice sessions get shorter and less frequent. An automatic ball-return net keeps the ball coming back to the hitter, and a compact junior size fits in far more Australian backyards and garages than a full-size net.
