What is a Soccer Birdie?
Soccer Birdie is "America's Newest Sport" but more importantly, Soccer Birdie is a VOLLEY TRAINER.  Its true strength is dramatically improving a player's volley skills. The best way to train is for a coach to stand about 10 to 15 feet away holding one Soccer Birdie in each hand.  The coach should toss (under-hand) one-at-a-time each Soccer Birdie allowing the player to volley the birdies back the the hand that tossed the birdie.

What's the best way to volley train with Soccer Birdie?
The way to learn is to train one on one with a coach or another player as described above.

What's the easiest way for a beginner to master Soccer Birdie?
The easiest way to learn Soccer Birdie is to form a circle and play in a group of four. Playing in a group of four will allow other players to recover miss hits and continue play without the Soccer Birdie hitting the ground. It is also helpful to play indoors or outside when the wind is light or calm.

Is Soccer Birdie just for soccer?
No. Soccer Birdie can also be played like volleyball, hacky sack, lawn darts, badminton and football. Soccer Birdie also makes a great swimming pool toy because Soccer Birdie floats and can be played while wet.

Does Soccer Birdie require additional equipment to be played?

Soccer Birdie requires no additional equipment but children have been known to use their shoes and sandals as a paddle or racquet when Soccer Birdie is played like badminton. Soccer Birdie can also be played like volleyball with or without a net.

What are soccer coaches saying about Soccer Birdie?
Soccer coaches say Soccer Birdie teaches proper body mechanices like nothing ever invented.  They are also calling Soccer Birdie the "best soccer training aid" on the market when it comes to fun, price, convenience, ease of use, foot-eye coordination and keeping players physically fit and active year round.  Coaches also say they like that Soccer Birdie can be used inside or outside and requires very little space to use.

How is Soccer Birdie a soccer training aid?
Soccer Birdie generates a spring-like reaction when kicked or slapped. This spring-like reaction requires less effort by the player to keep the birdie in the air and during its descent the Soccer Birdie feathers slow the fall giving players the time to respond. This slower descent gives players the time they need to develop the key moves and coordination required to play soccer. Soccer Birdie also makes noise upon contact adding to the fun and excitement.

What product/services can Soccer Birdie add to the assortment that currently isnt available in stores now?
Many retail department stores and sporting chains do not offer much in the way of what we call "action toys" like "Frisbee," and "Nerf" football. We believe these "action toys" help children stay active and physically fit. Soccer Birdie is the ultimate "action toy" and will give your customers more choice within your toy department and/or sporting goods department.

How will you promote Soccer Birdie?
Our goal is to introduce the sport of Soccer Birdie to schools nationwide in an effort to increase physical fitness in our children.  Most schools don't have the funding to manage a full scale soccer program but they do have the ability to use Soccer Birdie to introduce soccer skills to their students.

What is a Cicada Cheering Fan?
The Cicada Cheering Fan is a percussion instrument and noisemaker designed to make a series of distinct sounds helping you to support your favorite teams, bring in the New Year, celebrate birthdays and more.

No.  We are not a retailer.  We are strictly a wholesale company.  We sell to your neighborhood stores.  If you don't see your stores listed, try purchasing our products through one of our online retailers or ask your neighborhood store manager to stock our products.

How loud is a Cicada Cheering Fan produce?
The Cicada Cheering Fan, like the cicada insect produces four distinct sounds.  These sounds are high pitched but can be muffled to reduce the pitch to a lower tone.  Also, all other noisemakers emit sound in a 360 degree pattern.  The patent pending Cicada Cheering Fan can direct the sound coming from the Cicada away from the user making it possible to send the greatest amount of sound in the direction of the person or people you're cheering for.
What is a Bop-N' Birdie?
Bop-N' Birdie also known as a BOP is a toy that can be played in numerous ways.  You can use BOPS to play like volleyball, soccer, hacky sack, football, lawn darts and other interesting ways.

What's one of the most intersting ways people are playing with BOPS?
Little league batting coaches are using BOPS to improve the batting skills of their players.  It would appear that the players can see the flight of the feathers coming towards them better than they can see a ball.  The BOP produces a flight pattern that improves their ability to understand how the ball changes as it approaches the batter.

How high can a BOP fly?
Each BOP only weighs about an ounce or so.  The average person should be able to throw a BOP 25 yards or more.  Hit a BOP with a bat and it will easily fly more than 50 yards.  Smack a BOP with a badminton raquet and it will lauch like a bottle rocket.
