Abstract

The present invention is a soccer training device built with elbow connectors, a frame with a top frame, a pair of upper frames, a pair of lower frames, and a bottom frame, all with opposite ends that fit into the elbows. The ends of said elbow connectors can have releasable connectors that mate with corresponding connectors on the ends of the frame pieces. A target area is attached to the frame and has aiming areas with numbers that can indicate point value. The aiming areas can be of equal sizes. The soccer ball has an outer covering of the loop fabric of hook and loop fabric. The target area can be attached to the frame a pair of fabric strips having hook and loop fabric or male and female clasps.

Claims
