“The Shagger” is a machine designed to recover soccer balls and return them to the user. This allows the user to continue practicing without stopping to collect the balls. 

The inspiration for this project was to find a way to shag a ball without doing it yourself. The shagger is aimed at helping soccer players improve during shooting practices. The players are given the opportunity to practice without having to shag every time they miss. The shagger has a hollow body that can store multiple soccer balls that are directed into the body by grippers on the front. There are no ball shagging machines for soccer, but other sports such as golf and tennis do have shagging machines. After the user shoots a ball, the shagger will collect it and return the ball to them.
