Soccer training device

Abstract

A soccer training device which is lightweight and portable is provided. The soccer training device of the present invention comprises at least two rebound surfaces which are preferably set at different angles. A player practises soccer by kicking at the rebound surface and then trapping and returning the rebounded ball. The rebound surfaces are typically of a rigid synthetic material and are elongate relative to the connecting end panels.

1 . A soccer training device comprising a first elongate rebound surface, a second elongate rebound surface, and two end panels connected to the first and second rebound surfaces.  
   
   
       2 . A soccer training device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second rebound surface comprise a rigid, synthetic material that enables a soccer ball to bounce off.  
   
   
       3 . The soccer training device of  claim 1  wherein the first rebound surface and the second rebound surface are set at different angles and the endplates are shaped to enable attachment of the first and second rebound surface.  
   
   
       4 . A soccer training device according to  claim 1  further comprising a planar base whereby said first elongate rebound surface, said second elongate rebound surface, said two end surfaces and said planar base connect to form a fillable reservoir.  
   
   
       5 . The soccer training device of  claim 3 , wherein said first rebound surface is set at a first angular inclination and said second rebound surface is set at a second angular inclination.  
   
   
       6 . The soccer training device of  claim 5 , wherein said first angular inclination is about 5-15 degrees.  
   
   
       7 . The soccer training device of  claim 5 , wherein the second angular inclination is about 15-35 degrees.  
   
   
       8 . The soccer training device of  claim 5 , wherein the first angular inclination is about 7-12 degrees and the second angular inclination is about 25-30 degrees.  
   
   
       9 . The soccer training device of  claim 4 , wherein said reservoir has a capacity of about 6 to 12 liters.  
   
   
       10 . The soccer training device of  claim 4 , wherein the reservoir is made from materials selected from the group consisting of wood, fiberglass, metal, cardboard, plastic and synthetic materials.  
   
   
       11 . The soccer training device of  claim 10 , wherein the reservoir is plastic.  
   
   
       12 . The soccer training device of  claim 1  further comprising a third rebound surface.
