Description
Learning to strike or head a heavy soccer ball can be difficult on a player. We've created a solution to remove all fear and pain!
First made popular in Europe for youth training, 290 gram soccer balls are ideal for fearless training to confidently master proper technique in striking the soccer ball and heading the soccer ball. The Striker is nearly half the weight of an official weighted ball. This allows our youth to learn to head a ball with the proper heading technique without the fear of a full weighted (420-450gram) soccer ball coming at you 50-80mph.
Players' confidence in the air will improve as the player feels comfortable and confident attaching a cross to score or the opponents goalkick to win the ball in the air for their team to hold possession. These are vital skills to master to be a well rounded championship level team. Most often at the end of games are teams just trying to clear the ball out or hitting long crosses into the box to either avert from a loss or trying to score to win. Fatigue has set in and long balls become the answer instead of playing out of the back or getting closer to the goal before time runs out. This is where you will win games as most goals are scored in the first and last 5 minutes of each half.
