Nah, it's almost never a problem on Sundays. That's why we play in the morning rather than the afternoon. Come 2/3pm some nippers occasionally want to kick a ball around but by that time we are winding down usually.
The balls we use are from Magic and Fixcraft. Google those and you'll find them.
The stickiness problem is a function of the heat but the newer 'NAH' (North American Hardcourt) balls seem to be lighter/harder/faster and more resistant to heat. They make it easier to hit the ball really, really, fast so I'm 100% behind them.
