(More customer reviews)I had seen this product a while before I bought it, and wanted it but it seemed like too much of a want and not a need. When it went on sale I went ahead and sprung for it and I am very glad I did.
I coach two recreational soccer teams, a U12 and a U8, and this bench is great for both of them. In recreational soccer where kids are playing to be kids and have fun, balancing playing time fairly is very important, but sometimes hard to do when kids disappear down the sideline to sit with their parents. This bench keeps the teams organized and helps ensure I get the most deserving players back in the game.
That's the part I expected, but there are some other things about it I didn't expect that I am very happy with too.
It folds up quite compact, more so than I expected, and is very light to carry with the sturdy shoulder strap. It is so easy to set up my six year-olds do it no problem. It is not especially comfortable, but what bench is.
The biggest surprise to me was the teams' reactions. I thought they would not like it, seeing it as a ploy by me to control them. Quite the contrary, as soon as I put up the bench on the sideline the players were eager to sit on it and both ages think it's cool. They have all seen professional athletes on a bench on the sideline, and having this makes them feel more like the professionals.
So after all I feel like it was a worthy investment, and it really has helped manage the sidelines during matches. It's funny how little things like uniforms and a "real" bench on the sideline seem unimportant to us but can mean so much to these little guys.
The qualifier is, I think if I only coached one team I wouldn't feel like it was worth the investment. But with two teams and a younger son who is three and likely to start soccer soon--the cost-benefit ratio looks a lot better.
