I'm looking for something like this but it doesn't attach to a stake but rather my ankle. Does anything like that exist?

I don't think so. I know you can get ones that attach to your waist. But thats more to aid you with juggling the ball.
What you have to remember is if it was attached to your ankle it would effect how the ball was kicked. Plus it would slam back pretty hard.
Whats wrong with running to collect the ball anyhow? :confused: its good exercise!

1) I get my cardio from cycling.
2) I'm in med school so time is limited and I want something to kick around every couple of days for 15-20 mins to keep my touch.
3) I was looking for something that doesn't scuff up my ball so much.

I am also in med school and find time to chase after my ball when i get the chance too. Often between juggling Uni and rediculous shifts (7am - 10pm) Oh and if my ball gets scuffed. I just clean it. :rolleyes: But hopefully you find your ankle trainer.

Exactly how is that applicable? I might start wanting to play in a league again but my serious varsity soccer days in college are over. Not really seeing how that applies.

In an effort to get this back on track, I did see this product at a clinic I went to. Seemed pretty good - http://www.multitouchusa.com/
