Soccer

Our family are all hockey players, so I hadn't seen these skinny legged, fluoro soccer 'players' before. I really liked the pop of colour against the autumn trees, so just had to stop and take a photo!

What the heck are they used for .. great capture..

@julzmaioro According to Chad, it's when they practise penalty corners….

[Raymond Gilchrist]

The simulate a 4 man wall, for Free kicks, you practice bending the ball around the wall and into the goal :-) http://youtu.be/5HPXvE1g_go

@raygil Aha - thanks - easy to see we don't follow soccer….

[Sue Wilde]

Good for you...stopping to take random photos is obligatory

[sally agnew]

Nice candid image :-)

[Dione Giorgio]

Seems they're going on a training session. Soccer was the love of my life - I played (others said I was a winner at it), I dreamt soccer and I lived for it. AND THAT'S UNTIL I MET MY WIFE.

Cool action shot

[Karen]

Great shot they look more like shooting targets.

[Pat Knowles]

That yellow certainly pops !

[Lyn Berriman]

That yellow does pop! Nice pov

@sangwann But obviously your life is much better since meeting your wife!

[dh (delena)]

I wouldn't have known what they were for either. We only have showjumpers and rugby players in my house.

Cool contrast! Looking at those sporty types makes me tired! - Lucy

@sangwann Ah, so sweet!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Fun capture! As well as having a practical purpose I think those figures would make a very cool and whacky garden ornament!

[Marnie]

What fun! I've never seen them either. Mind you, when I watch football it's always Aussie Rules.

[Maggie]

They are indeed eye-catching! They would make a good "wall" for soccer practice.

[Maggie]

Oh, thats what they ARE … just read the above comments, and heres me thinking maybe some whacky form of park art. Duh.

[Dianne]

@snaphappi I think they'd make cool park art though!
