On the pitch
TEKKY™ in action
Real reps, real players. Every touch on the TEKKY™ transfers straight to match day.
The Before and After Effect
10 minutes a day. 4 weeks. Watch the gap close.
Players who train with TEKKY™ for 10-15 min/day, 3x per week, visibly improve first touch, ball mastery, and confidence. After 4 weeks, regulation balls feel huge — and that is where the transfer to match day happens.

The team behind TEKKY™
Built by coaches who've seen the gap.
Philip Lund and Paul Hanson have spent 40+ combined years in U.S. youth soccer development -- coaching club, ECNL, MLS Next, and college programs. They built TEKKY™ because they kept seeing the same thing: U.S. players hit a technical ceiling at 17-18 that European players do not.

Questions, answered
TEKKY™ training ball — FAQ
Everything parents and coaches ask before training with a smaller ball.
What is the TEKKY™ ball?
The TEKKY™ is a patent-pending technical training soccer ball from Zenith Sports. It is smaller than a regulation ball, so every touch has to be precise — but it is built to full FIFA Size 5 weight, so every rep builds real strength. After a few weeks on the TEKKY™, a regulation match ball feels slow and easy to control.
Does training with a smaller soccer ball actually improve skills?
Yes. A smaller surface forces cleaner, more deliberate touches — the same way the world’s top academies build technique. Because the TEKKY™ keeps full match-day weight, the strength and timing you build transfer straight to a regulation ball.
How is the TEKKY™ different from a futsal ball or a size 3 ball?
A futsal ball is low-bounce and made for hard courts; a size 3 ball is lighter all around for young kids. The TEKKY™ is different: a smaller control surface with full FIFA-5 match weight — so it sharpens first touch like a small ball while building real strength like a match ball.
What age is the TEKKY™ training ball for?
Ages 5 through high school and beyond. Rec, Travel, Club, ECNL, and MLS Next players all train with it. The free Build Your Player quiz tailors a plan to any age and skill level.
How do I use the TEKKY™ to improve first touch at home?
Pick 3 drills from the free 22-drill library — one each for gather, dribble, and finish. Train 10–15 minutes, 3 times a week, and level up every two weeks. Most players see a visible difference in first touch and control within about 4 weeks.
What ball do soccer academies use for technical training?
Top academies prioritize thousands of clean, deliberate touches over reps with a full-size ball. The TEKKY™ brings that European technical methodology home — a smaller control surface with full FIFA-5 weight, so focused touches build skill that holds up on match day.
How much is the TEKKY™ and where can I buy it?
The TEKKY™ is $59.95 at zenithsports.org and ships across the U.S. TEKKY™ grip socks ($15, or 2 for $25) and performance training tees ($17.50) are available too.
