At the edge of a sunny court, a mecha plants both feet and bends forward to place a single soft ball against a catching ring pad on a table. Its hand still contacts the ball. A child wearing a headband leans forward with hands on the knees to watch, while a coach stands to the side with a short whistle at the chest. A flip board and a complete pair of elbow pads sit on the equipment bench; a resistance loop hangs from its side hook, and a hydration cup rests in a lower cup slot. Bright action-anime armor uses blue, white, and orange shapes.
