You may remember last month we mentioned that we are Stay Active Ambassadors for the Summer and shared our thoughts on the Hip Hoppa, this month we are back with the KickerBall!
We were all hooked on watching the women’s England football team win the Euro Championship and how it’s given girls much more encouragement to get out and play football. But ultimately we all know how male-dominated football is as a sport.
L loves being active, she is really into all sports and football is one of them. She goes to a small primary school where the classes are mixed and she isn’t afraid to mix with the older children playing football in PE lessons. She will always give it a go! Being a girl does not stop her from playing football, she gets that from me I guess! I was in my primary school’s girl’s football team and loved it in the early 90s. But once I moved to secondary school there was no girl’s football team, I had to join netball instead. One of L’s favourite afterschool clubs is multisports with the year 2’s. Many a time they play a lot of ball sports like football and dodgeball. She can;t wait to go back to school and tell them about her Kickerball!
She really has been excited and enjoying this summer helping to encourage children to stay active. This can be inside or outside with the help of the Character Options Stay Active range of products. Having fun toys to play with like the KickerBall is great for helping to reduce screentime. As well as a host of other benefits such as increased mental well-being, improved movement, balance, coordination, and reaction time, and improved social skills, self-esteem, and confidence.
The KickerBall Review
The KickerBall comes already inflated in the box. You must not over-inflate it! It has special panels and is made with aerodynamic materials that channel the air in ways a normal football can’t. Included are a great set of instructions to help you get the most out of the KickerBall.
You can play with it in three ways: Swerve, Curve and Bend it!
It is a fun ball to play with. It goes where you wouldn’t expect it! For a 6 year old this is so much fun and we all couldn’t stop laughing!
To swerve, kick the side of the KickerBall from the left to swerve it to the right.
To curve, kick the side of the ball from the right to curve it to the left.
If you want to bend the KickerBall, strike the centre from where your laces are!
It is lots of fun. L can’t wait to have a kickabout around the park with her friends and show them how it works! But for now, she’s been happily playing with her dad. Why not have a peek at our reel on Instagram?
