The AirCAT ball feeder holds 10 balls at a time and has a Wireless remote or timer setting that allows users to train at their own pace without the need for any additional personnel. This device simulates consistent sets, serves, passes, and down balls with simple adjustments and an indicator light and/or bell to notify when the next ball is coming.

NCSA
NCSA is the largest college athletic recruiting platform, with over 35,000 college coaches using NCSA to find athletes across 37 sports.
For over 20 years, NCSA College Recruiting has offered recruiting advice and college coach connections to high school student-athletes around the world.
The advent of rally-scoring made the serving aspect of the sport even more important and as a result players have added more aggressive serves to their skill-sets.
With the use of Pocket Radar our club can track the speed of serves (AND kills) to monitor performance and for training purposes.
