The classic ball of casual cricket. Tennis-ball cricket runs deep in cricket culture - street cricket in Asia, tape-ball matches in parks, kids' first cricket sessions in back gardens. The Cricket Tennis Ball from Fore Sports is built for all of it: soft, bouncy, durable and safe for cricketers of every age.

The Classic Ball of Casual Cricket

The soft outer is safe for casual play, family games and kids learning the basics. But cricket tennis balls aren't just for kids - they're a serious training tool. Tape-ball cricket (where players wrap tape around a tennis ball to make it heavier and skiddier) is hugely popular at all ages, and it's a brilliant way to practise cricket skills without the cost or commitment of a hard-ball game.

The bounce is what every cricketer remembers from their first tennis-ball games - proper, lively, true. It rewards good shot selection, lets bowlers practise their action, and gives juniors the confidence to face up to deliveries without the fear that comes with a hard ball.

Durable enough for daily use, lightweight enough for younger cricketers to bowl easily, and a kit-bag essential for anyone who plays casual cricket alongside their club games.

Perfect for Cricketers of All Levels

The Foresports Tennis Ball is a must-have for cricketers looking to improve their game in a fun and effective way. Lightweight, durable, and highly visible, it’s the ideal training ball for all your cricket drills and sessions.

FAQs

A: Yes - these are cricket-specific tennis balls, slightly firmer and heavier than standard tennis balls so they wrap well with tape and behave more predictably off the bat. They’re built specifically for tape-ball cricket, soft training and indoor cricket.
A: Yes - the soft construction makes them a safe choice for juniors learning the game, school PE cricket and back-garden play. They’re a great first ball for young children before progressing to hardball cricket and proper match-grade equipment.
