The Ultimate use of every practice minute
All muscle memory skills are acquired through quality repetitions performed in focused periods of time. The Lil’ Strike Attack can be used to develop young athlete’s individual skills in isolation, to consistently kick the ball for rotating team drills or simply start off play with an especially difficult ball entry.
Ball machines are widely used in almost every major sport but are relatively new to soccer. For advanced skills it might take weeks of conventional player-to-player or coach-to-player training to achieve the same number of consistent repetitions as in just thirty minutes of practice with a ball machine.
The Lil’ Strike Attack soccer machine can provide your young athletes realistic kicks, spin shots, and hundreds of backspin passes per practice with the ability to lock in exact placement, speed and spin for consistent repetition. This versatile unit can deliver cross kicks, indirect free kicks and penalty kicks at a realistic speed and bend seen at competitive youth league games.
The Lil’ Strike Attack can be used for many drills for youth league defenders, attackers and most especially goalkeeper training where it can help to develop balance, control, judgment, and range of coverage. A goalkeeper will be able to work on their reaction to close-range shots as well as better anticipate attacking young players on cross and corner kicks.

Machine Design & Performance
- Battery-powered machine provides reliable service of up to four (4) hours on any soccer field or playing surface.
- A realistic curve and bend of the ball can be consistently delivered and easily controlled.
- Balls can be thrown with the desired amount of spin (changing one dial), or without any spin (dials at same settings), supporting a variety of realistic youth league drills and simulations.
- Balls can be delivered up to 40+ MPH at a distance of up to 50 yards (depending on the size of ball being used.)
- The type of spin, height, and direction desired can be locked into place to ensure consistent repetition focused on your specific training objectives.
- Direction, speed and distance can be instantly changed for specific goalkeeper training.
- The machine can deliver the ball at ground level or in the air. You can direct balls in any location from left to right. When combined with the ability to instantly change elevation, the coach has total control to deliver any type of ball delivery.
- The long ball-feed chute makes it easy for the coach to operate the machine from a standing position.
Exceptional Quality
- On the battery unit, the 12V Lithium, long-life battery resides in a rubber-padded battery box that protects it from impact and vibration and has LED Power Display.
- Two electronically controlled variable speed DC motors provide independent control of wheel speed, enabling ball delivery with any degree of spin at any speed. Simply change the speed of one wheel to create a bend/curve.
- Telescoping rear leg allows coach to change elevation instantly or lock-in position for repetition.
- Ball feed chute provides for the smooth, consistent entrance of the ball into the throwing head.
- Precision-balanced white wheel’s griping surface minimizes slippage and ball wear.
- Wheel guards protect players and coaches.
