ABSTRACT:
A soccer training device for training soccer players to direct their shots on goal to selected target areas within the goal opening. The device is adapted for use in connection with a conventional soccer goal having first and second vertical uprights and a horizontal cross member connecting the uprights for cooperating with a base surface beneath the goal to define a substantially rectangular goal opening. The device includes a flexible frame member for being attached to the first and second uprights and the cross member to circumscribe the perimeter of the goal opening and a relatively flat member coupled to the frame member. The flat member has a central portion extending along a minor axis of the goal opening from the base surface to the cross member and first and second wing portions extending outwardly along a major axis of the goal opening from the central portion to the respective first and second uprights when the device is attached to the soccer goal. The flat member is disposed within the perimeter of the goal opening to define selected apertures betweem the flat member and the frame member representing desired target areas within the goal opening through which a soccer player is trained to direct the ball. A flexible backing member is coupled to the frame member for substantially impeding the further progress of the soccer ball after the ball has been propelled through one of the selected apertures.
