Bola Hockey Ball Machine

The world renowned BOLA machine has been specially adapted to fulfil a wide range of Hockey training needs. Stuart & Williams designed and built the BOLA Hockey Ball Machine after extensive consultation with a number of hockey coaches. Steve Bachelor and Bram van Asselt were amongst those who were keen to have filled what they saw as a void in hockey training equipment.

The brief was to produce a machine that would consistently produce that cross or shot again and again and give coaches the facility to train their players more effectively. The first BOLA 'Hockey' machines were built in 1989. Over the years BOLA have improved and developed the machine that is in use with National Squads, clubs and schools around the world.

Vernier length control allows fine adjustment to eliminate bounce. 12 volt battery operated with mains option available. Also available is a kit to allow conversion for cricket use.
