Letter from Inventor

When my son was eleven, I asked an Olympic Development Coach how he could best improve. The coach responded "Shoot at least 200 times on goal 3 or 4 days a week." (The advice made sense as my son puts in lots of practice time shooting basketballs. In soccer, goals are much more precious). The next week we drove to the nearest soccer field. I was the goal keeper, diving for shots and digging the balls out of the net he got by me. Including travel time and setting the net, 200 shots took just under two hours and left me bruised and sore. The next time my son wanted to practice, we drove to the same field but then had to wait for a goal. I knew there had to be a better way.

      That night I began to think about a goal for backyard use. It had to be safe, quickly and easily assembled, movable (so my lawn wouldn't suffer too badly), able to withstand heavy use, and not require myself or anyone else as a target. After several designs and many refinements, I developed a workable rebounding goal. My son could now get off 200 shots in just 15 minutes all by himself! He learned to strike the ball just as scoring opportunities appear in a game---in the air, on the run, off the bounce or roll. He showed the new goal to his teammates. They loved it. The asked me to make goals for all of them. The KICKBACK® rebounding goal was born.

      The next season my son's team became the first from our community to reach the State Cup finals. Three years later his newly formed high school team (starting eight players with my goals) had amassed a record of 52-3-9, including three district titles and two Final Four appearances. All eight were names All-District and six of that number including my son, as a sophomore, made All-State.

      The Olympic Development Coach was right---practicing shots on a goal is critical to developing accuracy, power, and the CONFIDENCE to execute a shot or a key pass the moment an opportunity arises. KICKBACK® is the most effective tool available for concentrated shooting workouts. In fact, at my practices, we concentrate on teamwork and tactics because each player gets in more than enough shooting practice on his goal at home.

      Initially, many of the teams in our community did not tell other teams about my goals because they felt they were getting a competitive edge. The word is out now. My patented goal designs are now marketed nationwide. In fact, KICKBACK®s are now being tested by world cup coaches.

      We include our recommended workouts for players of any level with each goal. As a coach or parent, you will quickly note a big improvement in skills and CONFIDENCE. You'll see---KICKBACK® makes practice fun and productive. It may even save you the expense of replacing a fence or garage door.

Best of luck,
