A collapsible and easily portable soccer trainer having a pair of spaced apart, X-shaped side frames. The rear legs of the X-shaped side frames are connected to cross members which receive an upright net panel connected to the frame by a plurality of tensioning cords. The forward legs of the X-shaped side frames receive a curvilinear net panel connected to the forward legs by a plurality of tensioning cords. Brace members interconnect the forward legs to maintain uniform separation but are offset from the plane defined by the curvilinear net panel so as to prevent inadvertent deflection of a soccer ball by contact with the rigid frame elements.
