Sensomotor coordination, balance, precision,
speed, proprioception, mobility, ball
control in very reduced spaces, and flexibility
among others
3. Besides
physical skills, does it develop any cognitive
skills?
Yes. Although we have done no research
in this area, our clients have informed
us that there are certain mental skills
that specific FOOTY
MAT ® dynamics
can develop like better memory, concentration
and focus.
4.
What age groups is it recommended for?
The suggested age group is for kids seven-years-old
and up.
FOOTY
MAT ® was developed
specifically for kids and youths, but
in the development stage it was noted
that even older players can benefit from
the system by working on missing skills
not fully developed in early playing years.
A creative coach may also design sequences
and dynamics for very young kids.
5. How
can coaches use the FOOTY
MAT ®?
By integrating the FOOTY
MAT ® with
the other drills normally used in training.
The FOOTY
MAT ® can also
be used in circuit drills.

the FOOTY
MAT ® develop
sports skills in other sports?
Yes. Tom Katovsky, former tennis coach
of Kent State University and John Carroll
University says he loves FOOTY
MAT ® for tennis
training.
7. If
I buy the FOOTY
MAT ® Pro app
sold through the iTunes Store -- do I
still need to purchase a FOOTY

VERY IMPORTANT: All the sequences
of motions and the warm-up routines require
a FOOTY
MAT ® Mat,
