Add variety to training with training aids 

Colorful cones and cones, activity ladders and more: Of course, soccer training is not just about playing soccer. To help you diversify isolated skills, Benz Sport provides you with training aids. 

In a nutshell: What to expect in this article 

What are training aids? 

If small devices bring great variety to your training, then they are training aids. No matter if you want to train jumping power or endurance, reaction time or strength, speed or other skills: Benz Sport has the right aids for you. For example, you train with mini hurdles, with the header exercise equipment or with the coordination ladder. 

Does Benz Sport also equip clubs? 

Benz Sport is the contact for everyone when it comes to sports. We offer hurdles, cones and markers to make your soccer training effective. With our dummy set your protégés will learn to avoid opposing players. Of course, we will be happy to help you put together your own individual training aids. Please contact our more than 170 competent employees. 

Would you like to have a few cones for the bicycle course at the next children's birthday party? You can get them from us, too. Our company, now in its fourth generation of family management, supplies training aids to clubs and schools, municipal facilities and private institutions as well as to private individuals. 

What kind of sports are the training aids for? 

With training aids you train isolated skills. Of course, these skills are not sport-specific. Therefore, you can use the aids in any sport imaginable. For example, you can train good footwork in soccer with the coordination ladder or coordination bars. You have your players dribble over the poles or ladder as quickly as possible. This way you train coordination, i.e. accuracy of movement and speed. If you want to train footwork for table tennis, the coordination ladder will serve you just as well.

Fun and playful training

As a trainer, you know how to set up effective and varied training sessions. After all, training is a learning unit. And just like learning in school, you design the phases after a general introduction in a varied way. You train technique, but you also train endurance, tactics, strength and speed. With various exercises, you ensure that your players remain mobile. You try to give your protégés an overview of the game: It's not just about the isolated action at the right moment, but your players should keep an eye on the overall situation. 

You practice all of this at once in training games. However, it is difficult to try to improve all skills at the same time. That's why individual skills are trained in isolation. And this is where the training aids come into play, providing play, fun and variety in training. No matter whether your soccer players have to dribble the ball around colored cones, play on the field occupied by yellow plastic dummies, or shoot at the goal wall: the aids allow you to diversify every single training session, and of course not only for soccer. 

Did you know that many of the aids were originally used to train disabled people? Especially in physiotherapy, it is often a matter of teaching people "normal" and healthy movements again after injuries and accidents. The aids developed here will sooner or later all be used in competitive sports! 

Sports theory: instructional boards and boards for strategy. 

So how exactly do you explain certain game situations? It would help if your players could have a bird's eye view of the field. But this possibility does not exist. That's why Benz Sport gives you magnetic boards on which you mark the position of each player with colored dots. Your players learn to see the game as a whole of different moving people. They no longer see only their isolated action. This allows them to follow up on observed games or equip your players with the necessary tactics for the upcoming game. 

Coaches and trainers are not omniscient gods. Do you need suggestions? At Benz Sport, we give you everything you need to know about training design, variety, training isolated skills, and more. In addition to textbooks, we offer DVDs that clearly guide you through the preparation of a coordination workout or other specialized training sessions. 

Of course, the theory behind the design of a training session is not only interesting in club sports. Benz Sport also sees itself as a contact for schools, for kindergartens and for municipal institutions. Of course, the training aids can also be used in rehabilitation sports and in physiotherapy.

FAQ - frequently asked questions 

What training aids do I need in soccer? 

Need is relative - you can always do without. However, it is more fun with the right aids. That's why, in addition to different colored sashes or jerseys for marking opposing teams, we recommend colored cones or cones, the coordination ladder, and a coaching board. Ropes are also versatile and should not be missing in soccer training. 

Who can provide me with a set of training equipment? 

Currently, we at Benz Sport do not offer any ready-made sets. If you need a comprehensive basic equipment, just contact us. We will work with you to find a solution tailored to your individual needs. 

Which skills do I train with a rope as a training aid?  

All of them. It depends on how you use the rope. Jumping rope can serve as a warm-up, but it can also train coordination, speed and endurance. Lay the ropes on the ground to form a grid, and you have an advanced coordination ladder at your disposal. Tighten the ropes, you can train balance with it. Each training aid is open in use and allows for quite a few different scenarios. 

What is the coordination ladder good for? 

With the coordination ladder you train jumping strength, coordination and speed. That's why the ladder lying flat on the ground is used in quite a lot of different sports. You set step and jump sequences, which are then completed at an increasingly faster pace.
