SoccerWave™ Testimonials
Everton Football Club
Everton in the community coaches have been using the SoccerWave XP for six months to deliver sessions at soccer camps, which include children of varying ages and capabilities. The SoccerWave XP allows the coaches to easily deliver a range of different technical practices from passing, receiving and dribbling to shooting and heading to these different groups. It is particularly useful for goalkeeping sessions as the ball rebounds high, low, right, or left and the goalkeeper must then react and make a save. The SoccerWave XP is lightweight, easy to move around and can be used on any surface. The SoccerWave XP is a fantastic piece of equipment which enhances soccer sessions

I have consistently promoted the rewards to be gained from using a wall and kerb to players of all levels and abilities, the soccerwave is a real portable alternative to this and is a great training tool for coaches / players.
Practicing with the soccerwave will have a positive effect on players skills and techniques and is something that can be beneficial for either home or club use. Portsmouth F C will be ordering the soccerwave for use with the academy and youth teams.
All together a very worthwhile piece of equipment to add to any coaches armoury, only added to by the fact that it can enhance so many different elements of a player’s game.

Dear Soccer Wave,
My company's mantra is all about pushing the envelope, harnessing cutting edge technology to improve the learning experience of both young and old players alike. Whether they be U8 recreational players, or U18 National title contenders. The soccer wave is an invaluable tool that completely fulfills our company's desire to be 'different' and 'cutting edge'.
Not only is the Soccer Wave physically challenging it is also visually stimulating, getting kids excited and interested in training before a ball is kicked. To see children's eyes light up when they see the Soccer Wave and how the ball consistently rebounds off the curved surface is an awesome sight. Players consistently spend more time practicing with the wave and as a result get faster and better results. The consistency of the wave's delivery makes it a perfect training partner on the field or in the yard. It is light weight, easily maneuverable and extremely durable.
I use 4 soccer waves on a weekly basis with 6 teams, ranging from U8 development to professional Academy players, they all love using the Waves and it is the most requested piece of equipment we carry. I have no hesitation in endorsing the Soccer Wave and the XP kickback panel as a great tool and a great investment in your players development.

After using the Soccer Wave I wanted to drop you a note and tell you that I think you guys have found a training tool that not only helps a player improve their touch on the ball but it is a lot of fun.
We have used it in a camp environment, team training and Individual training. The activities that we can use it for is endless. When we are using the Soccer Wave we normally draw a crowd watching our players using the soccer wave.
It works great with a few balls ...here is one activity that I like...drive a ball into the Soccer Wave and it comes back to you in the air and you have to settle or play the ball out of the air. Great for finishing volleys, defenders clearing a ball or just foot eye coordination and picking a ball form the air.
Best of Luck with your new soccer training tool!!

* Front and side volleys
* Defensive and offensive heading
* Defensive clearances

Dear Soccer Wave:
It has been nearly one full spring now that we have made use of your Soccer Wave product as a training tool for the benefit of our athletes on the women’s soccer team here at Texas Tech University.
In the process of rebuilding our program to the standard required to compete in such a demanding conference as the Big 12, we continually search for ideas that can help our program achieve an elite level of performance from our athletes. We feel your product has benefited us in such a way.
The difficult balance of demanding the maximum from our athletes while recognizing their practical needs in terms of time demands as student-athletes leads us to the additional use of the Soccer Wave. With limited team practice hours finding helpful training tools that allow the individual to focus on their own technical needs on their own time can be a critical advantage. Soccer Wave helps fill this need.
The Soccer Wave has given us the ability to offer our athletes an interesting challenge. It is easy enough for the athletes to use themselves without monitoring following some simple instruction, and fun for the players to experiment with their own training ideas.
In the team setting we have incorporated the Soccer Wave to great effect into exercises that involve movement and passing accuracy without having to forgo a player as a stagnant target and thus ensuring equity in the physical workouts and technical practice of the players. We also look forward to these advantages this summer when we incorporate the Soccer Waves into our soccer camp sessions.
We are happy to endorse the Soccer Wave as a product providing many benefits to the athletic performance of our players. We look forward to your future product ideas and will continue to maximize their use.
Sincerely,
Neil McGuire, Head Coach
Brian Zwaschka, Assistant Coach
