12 yr old bowls at the parking wall every evening. the ground floor flat has complained

mint_kettle_7504

she's bowled at the same patch of wall in our building's parking all summer, an hour every evening, with a real cricket ball. the thud carries into the ground floor flat and they've asked politely, twice. fair enough. but i don't know any nets near us that will take a 12 yr old girl for an hour of bowling without signing up for a whole academy package. anywhere around mehdipatnam? or ideas to make the wall quieter

    A taped tennis ball. Wrap a tennis ball tightly in electrical tape and it bounces and swings close enough to the real thing for practice, with a lot less thud. Half the boys in the colony I grew up in learned on one. Also, a girl who bowls for an hour every evening without being told is rarer than a free net. I'd mention that to the neighbours too.
