The SKLZ Soccer Trainer Pro is a portable and adjustable soccer training device designed to help users improve their skills. It features a net that provides ball return, allowing for solo practice of various shot types and angles.

Function Description:

The Soccer Trainer Pro is primarily used for practicing soccer skills such as shooting, passing, and receiving. Its key function is to return a kicked ball, enabling continuous training without the need for a partner to retrieve the ball. The device is adjustable, allowing users to customize the ball return angle to simulate ground balls, driven balls, or lofted returns, catering to different training needs. It is designed for use on flat surfaces and requires adult assembly.

Important Technical Specifications:

The device consists of several main components:

• Upper Frame: Comprises right and left posts with a pre-attached net, and a crossbar.
• Base Frame: Includes a base bar, right leg, and left leg.
• Net: Pre-attached to the upper frame, designed for ball return.
• Push-button Tubing: Used for assembly and disassembly, requiring caution to avoid pinching.
• Tension Knob: Located on the left side of the frame, used to adjust net tension.
• Twist Handles: Located on the legs, used to adjust the ball return angle.

The Soccer Trainer Pro is under tension when assembled, and care must be taken during disassembly to release this tension safely to prevent injury. The crossbar logo must face down with net hooks facing up for proper function, and these hooks should face the base of the frame for bungee attachment.

Usage Features:

• Assembly: The assembly process involves connecting the right and left posts to the crossbar, then attaching the right and left legs to the base bar, and finally connecting the base frame to the upper frame. Bungees are then secured to the frame, and net tension is adjusted using the tension knob. It is noted that assembly may be easier with two people.
• Adjustable Ball Return Angle: The device offers three primary ball return angles:
  • Ground Ball: Twist handles are placed at the back of the adjustment channel.
  • Driven Ball: Twist handles are placed at the center of the adjustment channel.
  • Lofted Return: Twist handles are placed at the front/closest to the net of the adjustment channel, with legs flat on the ground. To adjust the angle, users loosen a leg by turning the twist handle counterclockwise, move the leg to the desired position, and then tighten it by turning the twist handle clockwise. The opposite leg angle must then be matched, ensuring both legs touch the ground for proper function.
• Net Tension Adjustment: After initial assembly, the net tension can be adjusted by rotating the tension knob clockwise until the black part of the net cord is partially visible. Overtightening should be avoided. The net may require retightening after initial use.
• Portability: The device is designed for disassembly and storage after use, making it portable.

Maintenance Features:

• Regular Inspection: Users are advised to always check for wear and tear before each use. If any damage is found, the product should not be used.
• Disassembly:
  • Partial Disassembly: Involves returning legs to the lofted position (flat to the ground), releasing net tension by turning the tension knob slightly clockwise while holding the net release lever down and pulling the cord out, and then releasing top and bottom push pins to collapse the frame.
  • Full Disassembly: Similar to partial disassembly, but also includes releasing push pins on the base frame to disconnect legs from the upper frame, and releasing push pins on the upper frame and base frame to collapse components to their closest pin holes.
• Storage: The Soccer Trainer Pro should be disassembled and stored after use. It should not be left outdoors.
• Environmental Considerations: Avoid storing the device in extremely hot or cold environments, as this can reduce its lifespan. Keep it away from fire and heat sources.
• Clear Area for Use: When in use, the Soccer Trainer Pro should be set up in a clear area to avoid injury to the user and damage to the property. Others should also stay clear of the area during use.
• Warranty: The product comes with a 1-year limited warranty, which covers damages not resulting from accidents, misuse, abuse, or lost merchandise, and is valid only in the USA. Proof of purchase is required for warranty coverage.

Safety Warnings:

• Consult a physician before starting any exercise program.
• Exercise extreme caution when releasing net tension during disassembly due to the device being under tension when assembled.
• Use caution when assembling push-button tubing to avoid pinching.
• Do not climb or hang on the Soccer Trainer Pro.
• Stop using the product if any part breaks.
• Any alteration of the product or its components will void the warranty and result in a disclaimer of liability.
