Jugs | Soccer Machine

Jugs Soccer Machine

A cross is the hardest ball in soccer to practice, because it needs a server who can put the same ball into the same square of the six-yard box twenty times running, and almost nobody can. The Jugs Soccer Machine is that server. Jugs states you can instantly change the height and spin of the ball, ground level or in the air, and that the machine kicks up to 80 yards and duplicates any type of shot or pass. Height and spin are the two controls that decide what a cross does when it arrives, and on this machine both are set on the spot, between one ball and the next.

The published top speed is up to 70 mph. That is the figure Jugs states for the Soccer Machine, and it is the only speed figure on this page. Jugs points the machine at four jobs: shots and passes for midfielders, wingers, sweepers and strikers; free-kick defense, where the manufacturer states its accuracy makes it a tool for setting up set play situations; goalkeeper work on high crosses, punching, narrowing the angle, reaction time and diving technique; and camps, where Jugs describes it as a portable lightweight machine that can be moved to any location on the field. It runs on 110V in the U.S. Jugs publishes no weight, no ball specification, no hopper capacity and no feed rate for this machine.

Four Things Jugs Publishes About the Soccer Machine

This is the only soccer machine Jugs builds. Every figure below is the manufacturer's own, taken from the current Jugs Soccer Machine page.

⚽
Height and Spin, Changed on the Spot
Jugs states that with the Soccer Machine you can instantly change the height and spin of the ball, ground level or in the air. Those are the two variables a coach actually needs between reps. Height decides whether the ball comes in as a driven ball across the six or as a hanging cross a keeper has to come for. Spin decides which way it moves in the air and how it behaves off the first touch. Because both are adjusted on the machine and not by a server's technique, the ball that goes in fifth is the ball that went in first, which is the only condition under which a player can work on one thing at a time.
Ground level or in the air
🕑
Up to 70 mph, Up to 80 Yards
Jugs publishes a top speed of up to 70 mph and a distance of up to 80 yards for this machine. The 80-yard figure is the one that changes how a session is laid out: a machine that can put a ball most of the length of a pitch can serve a switch of play, a long diagonal or a goal kick from a fixed position, so the drill does not have to be built around where the server is standing. Jugs states the machine duplicates any type of shot or pass.
Any shot or pass
🧤
Goalkeeper Work, Repeated
Jugs names five goalkeeping skills the machine is used for: taking high crosses, punching difficult crosses, narrowing the angle, increasing reaction time and improving diving technique. Every one of those is a repetition problem. A keeper who takes six high balls in a session learns less than a keeper who takes sixty, and a coach serving by hand runs out of accuracy long before the keeper runs out of legs.
Five named skills
🎯
Set Plays and Free-Kick Defense
Jugs states the machine gives realistic speed and ball movement seen at any level of soccer, and that because of its remarkable accuracy it is a tool for setting up set play situations. A defensive wall, a zonal marking scheme and a near-post run all have to be drilled against a delivery that arrives in the same place every time. That is what a machine gives a coach that a rotating cast of free-kick takers cannot.

The Two Sessions This Machine Was Built For

Goalkeeping

Sixty High Balls in a Row

Jugs lists what the machine is used for in goal: taking high crosses, punching difficult crosses, narrowing the angle, increasing reaction time and improving diving technique. Height is the control that matters most here, and it changes between balls. A keeper working on coming for a cross needs the ball hanging at the same point over the same patch of grass until the timing of the run stops being a guess. Then the height comes down and the same keeper is working the near post. Jugs publishes a top speed of up to 70 mph, so the shots at the end of a keeper session can be served at real pace from a fixed spot.

Eighty Yards, Any Shot or Pass

Jugs states the machine duplicates any type of shot or pass and simulates designated shots and passing situations for midfielders, wingers, sweepers and strikers. The published distance is up to 80 yards, which is the length of a switch of play, and the manufacturer states that its accuracy makes it a tool for setting up set play situations so a team's free-kick defense improves. A wall that shifts a meter, a keeper who starts a step off his line, a centre-half attacking the first ball: all of it is drilled against a delivery that lands the same way every time, at whatever height and spin the session calls for.

  • Kicks up to 80 yards
  • Duplicates any type of shot or pass
  • Serves midfielders, wingers, sweepers and strikers
  • Set play situations and free-kick defense
  • Portable enough to move to any location on the field

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Up to 70 mph. That is the speed Jugs publishes for the Soccer Machine, and it is the figure this page uses throughout. If you have seen a higher number quoted for this machine anywhere, it does not come from the manufacturer.
Jugs publishes up to 80 yards. That is enough to serve a switch of play, a long diagonal or a goal kick from a fixed position, so a drill does not have to be built around where a server can stand.
Yes, and Jugs states both change instantly. The manufacturer's wording is that with the Soccer Machine you can instantly change the height and spin of the ball, ground level or in the air. Those two settings are what turn the same machine from a driven ball across the box into a hanging cross a keeper has to come for.
No. Jugs states the machine simulates designated shots and passing situations for midfielders, wingers, sweepers and strikers, and separately lists five goalkeeping skills it is used for. The manufacturer also names free-kick defense and set play work.
Jugs publishes 110V (U.S.) for this machine. For sessions away from an outlet, Jugs lists the Bluetti AC70P portable power station as a recommended separate purchase. It is not included with the machine, and no other power source is named on the manufacturer's page.
No. The Bluetti AC70P appears on the Jugs Soccer Machine page as a recommended product to purchase separately, not as an included item. Jugs does publish its figures: a 2-hour charge time, 12.4 in. x 8.2 in. x 10.1 in., two 120V AC outputs totaling 1000W, and a weight of 23.6 lbs.
Jugs does not publish a weight for the Soccer Machine. What the manufacturer does state is that this portable lightweight machine can be easily moved to any location on the field. If a published weight is a deciding factor, the two football machines in this group carry figures: less than 95 pounds for the Field General and 130 lbs. for the Football Passing Machine.
Jugs does not publish a ball specification for this machine: no size, no pressure and no material are stated on the manufacturer's page. Ask Jugs before running anything unusual through it.
Jugs publishes no feed rate and no hopper capacity for the Soccer Machine, and lists no automatic feeder attachment for it. Plan on a second person feeding balls if you want an uninterrupted session.
Jugs states the machine is perfect for any age or skill level and calls it ideal for soccer camps, on the grounds that it can be moved to any location on the field. The manufacturer also states it gives realistic speed and ball movement seen at any level of soccer.
The Soccer Machine is the only one of the four built for a full-size soccer ball, and the only one whose published adjustments are height and spin, where the other three adjust a leg or a dial. The Lacrosse Machine works from three fixed leg heights at 20-60 mph. The Field General throws footballs 5 to 60 yards at under 95 pounds, and the Football Passing Machine throws them 5 to 80 yards at 20-70 mph.
