Jimmy Ball 2.0 – Hands-Free Soccer Training Ball for Elite Touch, Passing & Ball Control
The Jimmy Ball 2.0 is one of the most effective and fun soccer training tools ever created for players who want to dramatically improve their first touch, ball control, passing accuracy, weak-foot ability, and overall technique. Whether you're training a 5-year-old beginner or a competitive high-school or adult player, the Jimmy Ball delivers hundreds of quality touches in minutes, making it one of the fastest ways to improve real-game skills.
Unlike traditional rebounders, walls, or training partners, the Jimmy Ball uses a non-stretch tether system and padded chest harness that allows players to strike, pass, and control the ball freely—without holding anything in their hands. The ball immediately returns after every kick, mimicking realistic passes, rebounds, and deflections that players experience in actual match play.
This hands-free design allows players to train anywhere: backyard, basement, driveway, gym, garage, or on the field. No goals. No nets. No partners. Just pure skill development.
Why the Jimmy Ball 2.0 Works
For decades, coaches have gently tossed balls to players to help develop first touch, control, and passing technique. The Jimmy Ball takes this classic training concept and supercharges it by providing constant, perfectly timed ball returns from every angle.
With the Jimmy Ball 2.0, players can strike the ball:
-
With the inside of the foot
-
With the outside of the foot
-
With the laces (instep drive)
-
With volleys and half-volleys
-
With weak foot passes
-
Even with back-heels and flicks
And after every touch, the ball comes right back—faster, more consistently, and from more angles than a coach or teammate could ever provide.
This creates true muscle memory, which is how elite players develop effortless ball control.
Develop Both Feet – The Secret Weapon of Elite Players
One of the most powerful benefits of the Jimmy Ball 2.0 is how it forces players to use both feet naturally. Because the ball rebounds unpredictably—sometimes slightly left, sometimes right—the player must react instantly with whichever foot is closest.
This builds:
-
Weak-foot confidence
-
Balance
-
Reaction speed
-
Foot-eye coordination
Over time, players begin using parts of their feet they rarely use—a natural progression that dramatically improves touch, dribbling, and passing accuracy.
Size 3 Skills Ball = Maximum Control Development
The Jimmy Ball 2.0 uses a size 3 soccer ball, even for older players—and that’s intentional.
Training with a smaller ball forces:
-
Tighter control
-
Better touch
-
Faster footwork
-
Greater precision
Mastering a size 3 ball makes size 4 and size 5 balls feel easy, which is why so many elite coaches use smaller balls in technical training.

Why Coaches & Parents Love the Jimmy Ball
