A compact ball control trainer for field hockey. Five connected ribs with coloured and numbered markings give you a training station for dribbling, close control and reaction work. It takes less than a minute to set up on any training surface.
What it trains
- Close ball control: Indian dribble, pull-backs and reverse stick touches through and around the ribs.
- Stickhandling speed and coordination: small, quick touches with the ball close to the stick.
- Head-up dribbling and reaction time: the free Field Hockey Star app calls colours and numbers, so you react instead of running a fixed pattern.
Change the shape
Set the Skiller straight, in a zigzag or in a curve, and change the angle between the ribs to keep sessions varied.
Specifications
- 5 ribs, each 39 cm (15 in)
- Total length: 159 cm (about 5 ft 3 in)
- Markings: 3 colours and multiple numbers for app drills
- Setup: under one minute, compact and easy to carry
Good to know
The Skiller trains ball control, not passing or shooting. It works best on a smooth, hard floor or training tiles. On carpet the ball barely rolls. For passing as well, look at the Training Kit (Skiller, Rebounder and Skills Zone).
