Football Equipment You Didn’t Know You Needed 

If you are new to football training or are a long-time veteran, you may be looking for ways to take it up a level. In this blog, we’ll showcase some of the football equipment you didn’t know you needed to help you get the upper hand compared to the competition.

Resistance Bands

Extremely versatile and best used for strength training, Resistance Bands help improve speed and increase agility. They are especially useful for injury prevention and rehabilitation, helping you strengthen muscles that are often neglected in regular training.

 

When speed training, attach the band to a fixed point and your waist, then practise sprinting. In strength training, the band is best used for resistance during squats, lunges and lateral movements. You can also incorporate them into your stretching routine to improve flexibility and range of motion.

Agility Ladder

An agility ladder is excellent for enhancing footwork, coordination, and quickness. It is lightweight, portable, and can be used in various drills to boost your agility and speed.

Kettlebells

Our Kettlebells are excellent for full-body workouts, improving strength, endurance, and power. Their unique shape allows for dynamic movements that mimic game scenarios.

 

You can perform kettlebell swings to build up explosive hip power and use it in strength training by doing exercises such as goblet squats, lunges or presses.

Agility Hurdles

Perform high knees, lateral jumps and hurdle jump drills, or integrate sprint drills to enhance agility and speed. 

 

Improve your coordination, speed and agility with our Agility Hurdles. They can be adjusted in height to vary the difficulty and intensity of your training. 

Foam Rollers and Massage Tools

Recovery is just as important as training. Foam rollers and massage tools help to aid muscle recovery, reducing soreness, and preventing injuries by releasing muscle tightness and improving blood circulation.

A foam roller can help in a variety of ways. Use a foam roller to target major muscle groups after workouts or to roll out tight areas before training to improve mobility. Regular use can also help in maintaining muscle flexibility and health.
