SKLZStar-Kick Hands-Free Adjustable Solo Soccer Trainer - Fits Ball Sizes 3, 4, and 5

I originally purchased this for my daughter to help get her kick right. I also purchased one bicycle flags for targets.I took the flags and placed them in the ground at different angles so the flag part is 2 feet , 4 feet off the ground. Then had her stand back far enough that she could aim and try to hit the targets. This had really improved her kicking and knowing when and how to position herself and her foot to get the ball where needed.This worked so great I purchased 3 more to keep in my coaches bag and I now have my team use these during practices.The trainer itself I would say is geared more for youths. The waist band does not go around my waist and I usually wear a 32 or 33 waist in jeans. For my youth U11 team they work great with a lot of room left over if needed.They fit our size 4 balls with no issues at all.So far the elastic has held up very well and I have not had any fraying or damage at all. Yes they will twist up almost immediately but that does not really hurt anything while using them. I always straighten them out and inspect after ever practice to ensure no issues arise.These also help for learning how to receive a ball and trap it. Like I tell my kids, the harder you kick the quicker and harder it will be coming right back at you so be prepared.Overall these are great so any soccer player looking to improve in their skills.A quick and easy way to get more touches.

This thing arrived quick (2 days). My 6 year old son LOVES it. I took it with us to his soccer practice last week and arrived early and figured I'd help him practice with it for goalie position and kicking (I admit, it's great that he can use this himself without me having to chase the ball and throw it back to him myself). Well....his team arrived earlier than usual and my son fought me when I told him he had to take it off and practice with his team mates and every one from his team mates to the other kids on other teams all wanted to try it and wanted to know what it was. So glad I purchased this because my son wants to use it all the time now and I love that he can use it independently even with his very small 6 year old waist. I am 5'5" at180 pounds myself, and this thing fit around my waist as well but I would say I am at the max probably for it to fit. I put it on to show him how to use it. I was surprised that it did fit me comfortably because I didn't think about that when I ordered it (usually you'd think these things would be made for athletic types (smaller waists) but I was pleasantly surprised that it fit me. I know it won't fit my husband though who is quite a bit bigger than me. Since this is for my son to play with independently it won't matter though. I would definitely order again from this company....so glad I found this product. Helps with practicing goalie position and kicking out and stopping, returning the kick without needing someone to practice with. My son is an only child so this is awesome for us. And now all his team mates are his best friend. lol

Works like it should, could break easily tho

My kids like this. It's easy to use and helps them practice their ball juggling skills. Good quality, has held up against three boys so far.

Bought for my daughter for training dribbling and kicking. She has been using it a few times a week and likes being able to kick the ball without having to chase it. It seems to be holding up and shows no signs of breaking.

I bought this for my daughter to work on her soccer skills in the off season. It is very durable and easy to use. It includes links to some training videos which have been very helpful. This is a great tool for new and experienced players. Definitely worth the money.

Second one I needed to get. The assembly to the belt is not the best. It’s flimsy molded plastic and with strong kicks that it doesn’t hold up and breaks.

I purchased two of these hands free ball trainers for my son’s. They have been using them nonstop for the past four days and loving them, both are seven years old and new to soccer, so this is really helping them learn technique without having to run after the ball every five seconds. I super recommend for younger kids!!Now onto the be careful part, for seven years old, there’s no worries in using this product. They don’t have enough power to injur themselves. However when dad who has played soccer all his life, uses it to show them how to punt, if you kick it really hard it’s going to fly back at you really hard (duh) resulting in the most painful jammed thumb of my life! So just bare that in mind. Use this for skills training not cranking up the power! If only I had it on video, would win America’s funniest lol.Yes I know you’re thinking well duh you moron, but when you’re playing around with the kids sometimes you don’t think of it .
