What is the R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball?

The R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball by GET REPS is the pinnacle of lacrosse training technology, a first-of-its-kind innovation designed to enhance your lacrosse training sessions.

By syncing with our GET REPS app, the R1 offers actionable insights to improve your skills, making each practice session more effective and engaging.

How does the R1 differ from a regular lacrosse ball?

At first glance, the R1 might seem indistinguishable from a standard lacrosse ball, maintaining the regulation size, weight, and texture that players are accustomed to. However, inside this familiar exterior lies advanced durable SmartCore technology that sets the R1 apart. It's equipped with sensors that track performance metrics without altering the ball's natural feel or behavior during play. This seamless integration of tech ensures that while you're honing your skills with a ball that feels traditional, you're also getting the benefits of modern analytics to push your game forward.

For optimal performance, charge your R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball before each use. Position it white side down in the charging cradle and plug it into any outlet. A complete charge takes 1-3 hours. Once charged, your R1 is ready for up to 12 hours of active play, ensuring it will last for the length of any lacrosse training session

How can I tell if my R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball is charging?

To verify that your R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball is charging, look for a faint red light inside the ball on the optic yellow side. This light is easiest to see in a darker room. If you notice the red light, it means the ball is successfully charging on the cradle.

Once your R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball is sufficiently charged, an LED light on the optic yellow side of the ball will illuminate, indicating that the ball is powered on and ready for use. Even if the light turns on, it's best to keep the ball on the charger for a little while longer to ensure it has a full charge for extended training sessions.
