Footbonaut
Footbonaut is a training device for soccer players . It measures 20 by 20 meters and is 5.5 meters high. Inside there is a 14 by 14 meter field made of artificial turf with units arranged around it for passing the ball and units into which the ball is to be returned.
Application and functionality
The device was developed by Christian Güttler from Berlin. With the Footbonaut, various forms of training are carried out in individual training as well as group training. Among other things, speed of action, accuracy of fit, interaction speed and interaction intelligence are trained. The Footbonaut enables training intensity and variability that would not be achievable in the normal field.
The player to be trained stands in the middle of the square field and receives a light and / or sound signal, followed by a soccer ball with changing speed, approach height and spin. The player's task is to receive the ball and play it in an illuminated target area. On each of the 14 m long sides there are two rows with nine target fields each, a total of 72. The parameters of the ball and the target field are usually determined from the outside by the coach. A random selection of the parameters is also possible.
Borussia Dortmund , TSG 1899 Hoffenheim , the Aspire Academy and the FC Kairat Academy use the Footbonaut, among others .
