Equipment We Use

The equipment we use on all our football courses and camps is based on the same equipment used at the St Mirren 1st Team Academy in Ralston.

 

St Mirren in the Community work closely with Diamond Football Company and are delighted that Diamond's Football equipment adds to the soccer camp experience for all boys and girls taking part.

MANNEQUINS - The mannequins provide participating players with a visual learning aid that enables them to focus on the important technical aspects of how to dribble the ball correctly, as well as execute tricks and skills.

2 WAY REBOUNDER - This passing apparatus is a popular piece of equipment amongst our participating players. This equipment provides players with the opportunity not only to practice their passing technique it also provides them with the challenge to test their aerial control, turning with the ball and volleying technique.

HURDLES - Hurdles can be used for numerous workouts, including lateral side step drills with high knees as well as jump and cut drills. With two height options, they are a versatile tool ideal for increasing speed, power and agility.

LADDERS - Simultaneously improve foot speed, agility, coordination and balance with the Speed Ladder. It's an effective resource for players who want to work on change of direction and quickness.

MINI GOALS - Mini goals have been introduced into the programme to support our small sided game philosophy. The children will have more touches of the ball, more 1v1’s, more goals scored, more decision making opportunities and more fun.  The Scottish Football Association recommends Development Fours as an excellent teaching tool for all young players.

MINI POLES - More Speed, Agility and Quickness equipment that allows the kids to develop the quick movements needed on the pitch to get away from opponents !

FOOTBALLS - The Diamond Pro Trainer is made from 100% Japanese Cordley pu material, usually only found in use on high priced match balls. This results in a ball that keeps its softer-touch feel even in winter conditions. It gives a true bounce and top rate flight characteristics. Expertly stitched and lined and with a unique design.
