A Revolutionary New Training Tool for Soccer

A revolutionary new training tool has been introduced that promises to improve soccer skills, even for solo practice sessions. Voon Soccer, created by Spanish entrepreneurs Joseba Zubeldia and Asier Etxebarria, is a smart version of the traditional rebounder. This device is currently being featured on Kickstarter.

Unlike traditional rebounders that simply bounce the ball back, Voon Soccer features a removable disc-shaped electronic module called the Dot. This module communicates wirelessly with a smartphone app and uses integrated sensors to detect ball impacts on the rebounder.

The user starts by selecting a drill on the app and watching a demonstration video. They then kick the ball at the Voon, catch it on the rebound, and continue the drill. The Dot, with 24 LED lights, serves as a target and visually registers each hit. It also beeps to indicate a successful hit.

After completing the drill, the user can check their performance score on the app, which includes metrics such as reaction speed, hit speed, hit force, number of hits, and elapsed time between hits. The app also tracks progress over time and identifies areas for improvement.

The Dot is designed to be shockproof, water-resistant, and has a battery life of 5-30 hours per two-hour charge. The rebounder can be set to a 60- or 90-degree angle and comes with serrated and grip-bottomed legs for use on grass or pavement. It can also be folded for easy storage and weighs 11 kg (24.5 lb).

If the Voon Soccer reaches production, it will retail for $479, but a pledge of $249 on Kickstarter will secure a set for early backers. While the Voon Soccer is not the only high-tech soccer training device on the market, it offers a unique and comprehensive approach to improving skills. Other devices include performance-tracking balls, sock-worn sensors, and insoles.
