There’s not a football fan out there who doesn’t know about the legend that is Lionel Messi. Even I’ve heard about him, and I get all my football knowledge second hand through my son! He’s an elite player and one of my son’s football heroes.
We were really excited to get our hands on a couple of footballs from the Messi Training System to review.
The Messi Training ball and the soft touch ball were sent to us for the purpose of this review.
Messi Training System Review
My son was already a keen footballer before he got his hands on these balls. He trains after school and plays a game every Sunday with his team. In his spare time he watches football trivia shows on YouTube, read footballs magazines, and generally absorbs all things football any way he can.
The Messi training system couldn’t have been a more perfect gift for our resident football addict. Convinced he’s going to be as successful as his famous hero, he’s been practicing with his new balls every night.
They both arrived on strings, but you can remove them if you want.
Keen to hone his skills, he’s been trying to nail his dribbling and get good at keepy-uppies. So far, he’s doing great, and these balls have helped him keep his eyes on the prize.
We have a goal in our garden (often manned by me or my husband) that he’s been practicising his shooting in too.
The fact these balls are endorsed by Messi make them really special to my son, and I do think they very helpful for practicing specific skills.
You can buy your own from Smyths Toys Superstores.

We’re really impressed with the Messi Training system balls, and they’ve managed to keep Greg outdoor and away from screens for a bit. As the weather improves, I would love for him to continue to spend more hours outdoors. They’ve done a great job of keeping him both active and inspired and it’s lovely to see my son work so hard on a hobby.
