Miniature Soccer Ball

• Perfect for kicking around the yard or house, a miniature soccer ball will improve your touch while providing hours of fun. It fits in any size backpack or gear bag and comes in all sorts of different designs, so you can show your support for Barcelona or Chelsea by buying one. And when you do go play the game with a regulation-size ball it will seem huge, and make controlling it even easier.
  
  

Pop-Up Goals

• Buy a pair of small, pop-up goals with nets, and your pickup games will be infinitely more fun, as you'll never again have to shoot at makeshift goalposts of backpacks, sweatshirts or orange cones, and you'll never have to debate endlessly about whether the shot was too high or too wide. Check out the versions made by Kwik Goal---they're great gift items that are perfect for backyard shooting practice, and they fold up for easy transportation.
