Description
Overview
The Avaro Penalty Dummy is a football (soccer) training aid that takes the place of a player during penalty and set-piece practice. Instead of asking a teammate to stand still while strikers fire shots, you set the dummy where you want it and let the whole squad take turns.
It sits in the Avaro football training & accessories range, alongside cones, bibs and goals. Avaro is the house brand, designed in NZ, so it is built with school and club sessions in mind rather than one-off home use.
Key benefits
- Frees every player to take part, because the dummy stands in as the obstacle.
- Keeps set-piece practice repeatable, with the dummy placed in the same spot each time.
- Backed by the store's 12-month guarantee and quantity pricing on multiple units.
- Designed in NZ for club and school training as part of the Avaro range.
Who it's for
Choose the Penalty Dummy for club coaches running striker and set-piece sessions, and for secondary school football programmes where a static obstacle speeds up shooting drills. It is a training aid only and has no place on the field during a match.
Pair it with a full-size goal such as the Club Soccer Goal – Senior – Pair so shooting practice mirrors what players face on game day. Coaches setting up several stations at once often buy more than one dummy.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the dummy under cover between sessions and check it stands square before each drill. At around 10 kg shipping weight it is a bulky item, so plan where it will live in the gear shed.
Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day. Schools and clubs fitting out a training programme can add the dummy to a quote alongside goals and balls.
