Soccer/Football Kick/Throw Trainer Solo Practice Training Aid Control Skills Adjustable Waist Belt

Many possible soccer reflex drills for legs. This turned out to be more fun, better for my coordination and easier to use than I expected. I put the belt on (Velcro easy), put a soccer ball in (again velcro easy), then rather than adjusting the bungee cord, I just held it in one hand, and started lightly kicking the ball away along the floor (indoor). When it reached the end, I would pull toward me, with the cord and lightly kick the ball again, when it returned along the floor. Soon I was kicking it to the right, forward and left, all from a stationary position. Then I realized, if I pulled Up and toward me, when I wanted the ball to return, it came back at various levels, shin, knee, thigh, then Face (oops, I forgot to take off my glasses). After a few, 10 minute practice sessions, I could control the level / hight the ball returned to, and would focus first on shin level blocks, again left right and front, then I held the cord vertical (hand about chest high), letting the soccer ball rest / bounce on the floor, I pull the cord / ball upward and use my knee / thigh to bounce the ball as it descended, alternating letting the soccer ball bounce once floor and once thigh, again and again. Just remember to start slow and kick / block lightly, especially if you are indoors.

This thing is awesome. I bought this for my 7 year old daughter to increase the power of her kick, but it has also helped in her reaction time and in her control of the ball. We adjusted the band for different lengths and looked at some videos on the internet for some exercises. There are no instructions but it is easy to figure out how to put the soccer ball in. The only issue I have is that it is only in one size and we have to finagle it to fit my daughter. I did put this on my 4 year old daughter who prefers to have the ball chase her rather than kick it, so I look at it as a way to increase her endurance. :) (and I use it on occasion)

At first, it worked really well. I knew I was going to get a lot of good use out of it. But after a week, only having used it 3 times, the elastic string busted near the ball's end after a kick. I was really disappointed since I thought it would last a while, and it did not seem like I ever used it past its limits. Eventually, I just tied and knotted the two ends back together and that seems to be working fine for now as a quick repair, but I don't know how much longer it will last that way.

This soccer trainer was all I expected it to be. My son had a little control problem with his kicks and having this trainer allowed me to work with him and not be constantly chasing balls. The only flaw in my opinion is the shock cord tether. I think round shock cord would have been better than the flat shock cord that comes attached to it, but it would be easily replaced if it failed.All in all a good preoduct

This was exactly what I was looking for. My nephew loves soccer but has a small yard and was constantly kicking it over the fence ;). This allows him to practice his big kicks without fear of loosing his ball. He is having a great time with it. Definitely recommend for backyard use and or at a soccer field (it's nice not to have to chase the ball). Ideal for kids who want to be outside to play but maybe don't always have someone to play with.

We read all the reviews and others said it fits their 7 year old so we purchased for out 10 year old and even though it's adjustable it's WAY too big for children. It's not made for children just fyi. Buy for teens and adults not for youth. We sent several emails to the company and got no response at all. We were curious if we could exchange for a youth size our Son so he can actually use and train with it. The quality of it is cheap/low. Beware! Quite misleading! Do not recommend!

Ball holder, belt and cord appear to be durable and good quality. Belt easy use and adjust, as is the elastic cord. Took a few minutes to get used to the cord dangling around, but kids were able to practice kicking, juggling, and throwing the ball.

Works well for my daughter who is practicing daily and needed to repeat drills more than she needed to be running after the ball. She used this and got more practice in.
