Idea 3: Free Kick Trainer

Sketch:

Description of Free Kick Trainer

• A soccer ball that is attached to the ankle of a child using an elastic cord, is kicked by the child towards a board with various sized holes and corresponding points
• The inspiration for this toy is from my passion for soccer
• Teaches children the different ways of kicking the ball and developing an intuition of the location of where the highest probable conversion would be
• The cost of this toy is ~$15 and the soccer ball will be built from leather with a rubber inner layer. The score board is made of plywood and simple paint. Given the materials being used and the manner it will be used, the toy is expected to give an acceptable level of safety and reliability.
