Goalrilla All Season Trainer

The Goalrilla All Season Trainer is a great multi-sport trainer. I am happy with the purchase. The trainer can be used many different ways for training in many different sports, so it should remain useful despite kids' changing sports interests. The quality is decent (more one this below), and I expect it to last quite a while.The trainer ships unassembled (of course) in a surprisingly small box (~4'x1'x1/2'). Assembly instructions are mostly pictures with little textual explanation. I was able to assemble it by myself in ~3 hours. There are steps of the assembly during which a second person would be helpful, but it can be completed without a second set of hands. I really appreciate that the trainer came with an extra rebounder net, as that appears to be one component that will fail eventually.We have used this trainer for a few months now and I am reasonably happy with it. In particular, we have used the rebounder side in multiple positions/angles for soccer, football (US and Australian), and baseball practice. We have also used the dampening net for pitching practice and goal kicking practice.The trainer works well and is very versatile. Not sure how clear it is from the description on Amazon, but the rebounder side is adjustable to change the angle of the rebounder to 6 or 7 angles between and including ~90 degrees (fully upright) and ~45 degrees. This permits everything from straight back rebounds to pop-flys.Now the cons:As with any item that tries to be useful for more than one sport/activity/etc. trade-offs are made. It is bigger than necessary for some things (like baseball practice, basketball returning, etc.), but smaller than ideal for others (like soccer goal kicking).It is expensive. I think the quality and multi-sport utility justify the price, but it is still a lot of money.Quality is only decent. Compared the cheap rebounders, the quality is excellent. It is significantly stronger, better built, better designed, more stable, etc. than cheap rebounders. For the price, however, I was expecting a little more. Examples: The orange powder coating on the metal components is patchy in a few spots (I imagine rust will be an issue in these spots, but appearance may also be an issue for some). The wheels are fairly cheap plastic wheels that I expect to fail at some point. The wheels rotate on plastic bushings. Tighten the bolts too tight and the wheels don't rotate. Leave the bolts loose enough to rotate the wheels easily, and the wheels flop around. When adjusting the angle of rebounder, the whole trainer feels a bit flimsy/twistable (once the angle is locked, the trainer is solid).There is a good sized gap (~3-6 inches) between the ground and the usable bottom of the rebounder. A ball kicked on the ground at the rebounder will not hit the rebound net.There are no included, printed instructions/suggestions for using the trainer. Figuring out how to change the angle of the rebounder took a little bit of trial an error.The rebounder does not cover some useful angles. The rebounder is not adjustable past 90 degrees (e.g., to force ground ball returns). The rebounder side also does not actually adjust to 90 degrees, it is slightly angled in the upright position. Minor issue and I understand the stability reason for it, but may be an issue for some potential buyers.Changing the angle of the rebounder takes time. It is only takes a few seconds (less than a minute) to change the angle, but it does require stopping practice, walking to the trainer, changing the angle, then resuming. This is one area where the cheap, multi-angle baseball rebounders have an advantage; throw at the center to get a straight return, throw at the bottom to get a pop-up, throw at the top for a grounder (as long as they don't break or fall over).Despite the cons, I really like this trainer. I think/hope it will last for years and be useful for many different sports. It is really close to a five star product. However, the cons, and particularly the only decent quality for the price, are significant enough to bring it down closer to fours stars than five.

This rebounder trainer is by far one of the highest quality training items for a family with multiple children of a variety of different interests, skill sets and ages. Mom and Dad can even use it for golf or to interact with the kids and help them train. It is ideal for a child who wants to practice but doesn't have anyone to work with.For the price, I was expecting real rubber tires rather than the set of the cheap plastic ones that were provided. I think they will inevitably break, particularly with the manipulation of teenagers. That is my only real gripe about the quality of the product otherwise it meets my expectations given its cost. Takes about 2 to 3 hours to assemble and there is a excellent company designed assembly video that is available on You Tube so that you don't have to deal with a manual with 1 million different screws and stuff.

We have had this for about a month now and my son really likes it. It’s great for baseball and football. Reason I took off a star was bc it takes a really long time to put together.

Very well made piece. The kids really enjoyed using the trainer today after we completed the assembly. All together it took about 1.5 hrs. to assemble the product. Highly recommend this item.

Great for speeding up the game. Not as sturdy as I thought. Hard to move "extended." Take your time assembling, not EZ. Great product for the price.

Great addition to any serious ball sport athlete ! Both my volleyball Queen and soccer king are enjoying the exercise and ability to practice ? Needs 2 to move it but both can use it at the same time . Worth the expense

My Gkids like it.

This is awesome trainer! We use for baseball, football and soccer. Kids love it easy to use. Super durable no wear after one year of use. Only issue is it takes up space in garage.
