Step-By-Step Guide

0

Attach the pump needle

Attach the pump needle to the pump extension hose securely before you begin.

1

Attach the adapter to your tap

Secure the Long Throw Coach Tap Adapter to your tap and tighten it firmly to prevent any leaks.

2

Deflate the ball fully

This is the most important step. A fully deflated ball ensures the correct final weight and gives you the right bounce-back for training.

3

Fill the ball with water

Connect the adapter to the ball valve and gradually fill with water. The ball will reach approximately 5kg when full.

4

Disconnect and train

Turn off the tap and disconnect the adapter. Your heavy ball is ready β€” find a wall and start your reps.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

The ball bounces back off a wall so you can do rep after rep continuously β€” no partner needed. Same size and feel as a match ball means everything you build in training transfers directly into your game.

Why It Works

Training with 5kg of resistance forces your muscles to work harder β€” building explosive power specific to the throw-in movement. Switch back to a standard ball and the difference is immediate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the adapter fit any tap? +
Yes. It features a universal multi-fit design that works with almost all standard household garden taps and indoor mixer taps. It creates a watertight seal to ensure the ball fills correctly every time.
What size ball should I use? +
We recommend that beginners start with a Size 3 football. This smaller size helps you master the technique more effectively before progressing to larger balls as your form improves.
Will water damage my football? +
It is safe for standard synthetic leather training balls. We do not recommend using it with high-end thermal-bonded match balls. A standard training ball is perfect for this training.
Why not just use a medicine ball? +
A medicine ball isn't a football β€” it's a different size, shape and doesn't bounce. Training with an actual football means the strength you build transfers directly into your game.
