RIOBOL BECAUSE YOU WILL GET BETTER FASTER!

 

HOW TO TRAIN

  • Pull RIOBOL out of RIOBOL backpack.

  • Inflate RIOBOL to 2.0-3.0 PSI. Don’t overinflate! You need the riobol to have some give for the true small-ball experience. The higher the PSI, the higher the difficulty level!

  • Observe our rough edge technology. Don’t worry if your riobol does not appear to be round. This is normal. It will round out over time and will immediately bounce true.

  • Have FUN! Start juggling or knocking the ball against a wall. Use a one (or two) hop rule to gain confidence.

  • Focus on your touch. Engage your core. Improve your balance. Feel the samba rhythm. Put in the work and watch your ball control improve.

WHY IT WORKS

  • The small weighted ball requires focus and technique. If you can do it with a riobol, you can do it in a game.

  • We take the small ball philosophy a step further because riobols are weighted to match the approximate weight of a full size soccer ball, yet they are smaller than a size 3 soccer ball.

Similar training techniques are used in virtually every sport.

    2. baseball batting weights

    3. weighted football

FUN GAMES

  • New Record! Challenge yourself to beat your juggling record. Use every part of your body: feet, thighs, shoulders, chest, head. Incorporate a one bounce rule to build confidence.

  • Wall Ball. One of the fastest ways to get a lot of high quality touches is to find a wall. Can you do twenty touches in a row with the laces on your right foot? How about with the instep of your left? Use one bounce or two to gain confidence.

  • 100 Touch Challenge. Keeping the riobol in the air, with one bounce allowed after it hits the wall, can you get 100 touches in one minute?

  • 1,000 Touch Challenge. Take it to the next level and see if you can get 1,000 touches in under ten minutes. Ready. Set. GO!

  • Soccer Tennis. Find a tennis court and use their net, set up a line of cones, or use a crack in the sidewalk. Rally with your friends and make sure your riobol lands in their square!

  • Top Bin. Gather round an empty box or bin and see who can knock it in first. What kind of combinations can you come up with?

  • Get Creative. There is no wrong way to use this small weighted technical ball. Share your games with us and win a prize.
