Amongst our families and friends, we have avid long time experienced soccer league players who were looking for additional training equipment to use at their homes for days in between soccer league practice and league competitive games, and this is one of the products they chose, and as far as we know, they are continuing to use these items, but always tethered to poles and trees, to avoid tangling themselves up in the tether unnecessarily, but they feel it has added to their performance and at home fun times, and to be able to play with others of their family members and friends who are not yet ready to participate in a league or have no time or interest to do so that seriously but still wish to play the game casually. We believe they also purchased soccer balls through Amazon for backup various practice times and have been satisfied with those purchases as well. Thank you, Amazon. Blessings.
