The research is about the method, not our product. SoccerYards is how you get that method in your own yard: four sides that keep the ball live, so the reps never stop.
3× speed · 128 touches counted in this clip
Counted session
This is the owner's own backyard clip, sped up 3× so you can watch a full session in half a minute. The counter runs on a frame-by-frame review of the footage — a touch is only counted when a player is clearly on the ball.
128 touches
The average soccer player only gets 30 to 40 touches per match.[1] This one short backyard session beats a whole game's worth — without a drive, a team or a ref. Why the difference? One short backyard session, no drive, no team, no ref.
Counts come from a manual 2 fps review of this one clip and are a conservative floor, not a measured product claim. Your own numbers will depend on players, space and session length.

Independent research
These are independent third-party studies of small-sided soccer training in general. They are not sponsored by SoccerYards, were not conducted on SoccerYards fields, and do not test this product. Most of the studies below were carried out with youth players; product suitability for other ages is our positioning, not a research finding. Individual results vary by player, age and effort.

Why it feels different
An open yard ends a session every time the ball rolls away. Four walls send it back. That one change turns practice into a loop that keeps running.
Less time retrieving the ball means more of the session is spent playing. How much more depends on the space, the players and the session.

Lights on, walls up. The ball stays live off the boards, so a session that starts after dinner runs as long as the players do.

Why walls change everything
The average soccer player only gets 30 to 40 touches in a full match. Inside a walled field, touches stack up from the first minute — one short session can top a whole game's worth.
5× the touches is how we describe that difference. “5×” is SoccerYards brand language describing continuous play inside four walls, not a measured study result.
See how it worksWalls turn every miss into a rebound. No stoppages, no fetching the ball from three yards down the street.
Two field sizes, and panels that can be cut to run around trees, slopes and fence lines.
Ground sleeves instead of trenches and concrete. Unbox, sleeve, post, panel, play.
The field contains the game, so the yard, the neighbors and the flower beds all survive it.
For every age in the house
A SoccerYards field isn't outgrown in a season. Little ones learn their first touch, older kids sharpen finishing and defending, and siblings of different ages play each other — at home, day or night.
Walls and goals scale the game: a six-year-old's first touches and a teenager's finishing reps happen on the same pitch, often at the same time.
Small-sided games mean brothers, sisters and friends all get touches — nobody waits in line for a turn the way they do at a drill.
No drive, no schedule, no session fee. The field is in the yard, so practice happens whenever the kids do — including after dark.
A camp ends on Friday. A field in the backyard keeps delivering touches season after season as each kid grows into it.
Train a striker or defender at home for the cost of one week of soccer camp — except the training doesn't end on Friday. It stays in the yard for years.

A training tool, not just a toy
Skill comes from repetition against a live ball. An enclosed four-sided field removes the two things that end backyard sessions — the ball leaving the yard and nobody to pass it back.
Training outcomes vary by player, age and effort. SoccerYards describes what an enclosed field makes possible, not a guaranteed result. “5×” is SoccerYards brand language describing continuous play inside four walls, not a measured study result.
First touch, turn, shoot, rebound, finish again. The wall returns every miss, so a player can take shot after shot without stopping to fetch.
Tight spaces force real 1v1 defending: body position, jockeying, blocking the shooting lane and clearing under pressure.
Goals at both ends turn every drill into a game. Finishing gets practiced the way it actually happens — at speed, off a rebound, under pressure.
The best training is the session a kid asks for. Nonstop play is the reason they go back out after dinner instead of once a week.
