Abstract

A soccer training system which has three modes and includes a frame, a net, a target panel, and a rebound panel. The frame with the net secured thereto provides a soccer goal mode; the frame with the target panel positioned across its front provides a soccer target mode; and the frame with the rebound panel positioned across its front provides a soccer rebounder mode. The target panel has cutouts and/or apertures to pass a soccer ball. The rebound panel redirects a kicked ball back toward the kicker. The rebound panel can also be inclined to alter the return angle of the ball. Preferably, elastic corded hooks attach the target panel or the rebound panel to the front of the frame.
