Tireless
precision where it really matters |
|
|
Unlike
human beings, the BOLA never tires. It will feed
the perfect pass or shot at goal time after time.
For all players, goalkeepers and coaches, frustration
at poor passing shooting or feeding during training
sessions can be a thing of the past. With the
BOLA Hockey Machine, everyone can concentrate
on quality practice and make maximum use of the
available time. Training sessions with the BOLA
are instantly more productive. |
The
2005 Hockey machine benefits from a sophisticated
new speed control package which is extremely energy
efficient and offers much greater battery operation
time so your training sessions with no mains power
will tire all but the most persistent of practisers. |
The
Ultimate Hockey Training Aid |
| |
The
world renowned BOLA machine has been specially
adapted to fulfil a wide range of Hockey training
needs. Stuart & Williams designed and built
the BOLA Hockey Ball Machine after extensive consultation
with a number of hockey coaches. Steve Bachelor
and Bram van Asselt were amongst those who were
keen to have filled what they saw as a void in
hockey training equipment. |
| |
The
brief was to produce a machine that would consistently
produce that cross or shot again and again and
give coaches the facility to train their players
more effectively. The first BOLA 'Hockey' machines
were built in 1989. Over the years BOLA have improved
and developed the machine that is in use with
National Squads, clubs and schools around the
world. |

Increased
accuracy, increased safety |
| |
The
BOLA Hockey Machine can place the ball exactly
where you intend. No more accidental undercuts,
no surprise injuries. Whether you want a precision
cross or a 60 yard aerial ball, the BOLA provides
it. See Cricket page for more details. |

Internationally
used and recognised |
| |
The
BOLA machine has become an essential part of the
training sessions for many of the world's national
hockey teams. It issued in Holland as a key training
aid for the national squad keepers and players.
Many of the Dutch national league teams have now
invested in the BOLA Hockey Machine. National
squads in Great Britain, Australia and India and
an ever increasing number of Hockey clubs all
over the world are also using the BOLA in their
training programmes. |

| |

of similar size to a cricket or hockey ball. The
