Reaction Time Training

Reaction Balls

A reaction ball is perfect for training hand-eye coordination and reaction time for many sports. Some are small and can be used by bouncing the ball between two people or rebounding it against a wall, while others are larger for kicking and throwing designed for soccer training. Reaction balls will bounce in an unpredictable manner due to the uneven design which causes the ball to leap and pop randomly, improving concentration, reaction time and coordination.

Some reaction balls can be bought on Amazon, such as the SKLZ Reaction Ball and Kwik Goal Soccer Agility Ball.
