The Challenge

With the increase in demand for sport facilities, more and more recreational providers are turning to artificial turf rather then the traditional grass fields   to cater for higher player usage.

Whilst these surfaces have proved invaluable they have also introduced some challenges for coaches who use a range of sports training equipment to develop their players.

One such challenge has been the use of mannequins that hone players' free kick skills. Traditionally this equipment has been designed for grass surfaces and manufactured from tubular steel with spikes to attach to the ground.

Whilst there have been attempts to make this equipment more versatile and suitable for astro turf use, these solutions have proven to be cumbersome and have introduced more issues with regards to player safety, portability and storage.
