Soccer Locker Review: SKLZ
Brian Farber is a top professional soccer player, one of the best trainers of youth soccer players and an inventive designer of products that help players develop their skills.
While there is a moratorium on soccer practices, trainings, and games because of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, SoccerToday’s Soccer Locker Review wanted to review products that could specifically help players train on their own or with their family. While SKLZ’s Quickster Soccer Trainer is a great product to have every day of the year, it is particularly useful now that players have to train on their own.
Here is our product review plus a bit of the important back story on the product designer. If a reader is interested in purchasing a Quickster Soccer Trainer, please email us for a really great special discount code!

According to Farber, these are the reasons the Quickster Soccer Trainer works so well to help improve a soccer players touch on the ball:
- With the wave side, you can improve the first touch by settling the ball out of the air with feet, thigh, and chest.
- Also on the wave side, master volleys and half volleys and improve technique by getting in a rhythm and hit volley after volley until you make a mistake.

- Passing and receiving the ball using the lower ground net is designed to help the soccer player develop good habits of seeing the field before receiving the ball. Passing the ball back on the ground and under control using this side makes sure the player can work on lifting their head and checking their shoulder. This lower net improves a player’s field awareness quickly.
Farber created the Quickster Soccer Trainer’s patented design to provide youth and adult players with a highly responsive and easy to use tool that was lightweight, easy to set up and store and provided professional proven results. true-roll action gives players the reps they need to master their first and second touches.
The large sided net measures 6’x4’ and the small sided net measures 6’x20” and stores easily.
