Welcome to the Wonderful World of Skillzys®
Think of a Skillzy® as a Boy or Girl Scout merit badge, but for sport.
With a similar size and feel of a typical credit card, Skillzys® are colorful plastic bag tags depicting individual soccer techniques, basic tactical ideas, or positive character traits. Players earn Skillzys® by successfully executing a specific technique, tactic, or demonstrating the particular trait under the pressures of league or tournament competition.
Skillzys® can be fully customized with team, club, or league logos, be designed using any colors, and feature any terminology clients choose to use.
All Skillzys® are punched with a hole in the upper-left corner of the tag allowing players to easily display earned Skillzys® on their backpacks using our Attachementz™.

Tagz™ - Backpack Branding At Its Best
Branding is the process of creating distinctive and durable perceptions in the minds of consumers. The main benefit of branding is that customers are much more likely to remember your business when it comes time to make a purchase decision or recommendation.
A strong brand name and logo/image help to keep your company image in the forefront of potential customers' minds. If a customer is happy with your products or services, a brand helps to build customer retention and loyalty cross your business.
Our Tagz™ lines allow clubs, associations, leagues, camps, schools, organizations, programs, and tournaments/events to extend brand identity through custom-designed, high-quality bag tags that athletes love to collect and display on their sports backpacks.
There is a growing danger in US youth sports today.
Young athletes are being taught to focus on short-term winning results rather than on the skill development that sets the foundation for long-term involvement and success in their sport of choice. This misguided focus on results - results due in part to factors ultimately out of a young athlete's control - sets athletes up for failure, decreases their interest and passion, and drives them away from organized sport, robbing them of the benefits of athletic participation.
The toxic environment that an adult-driven, win-at-all-costs mentality brings to a youth sports contest doesn't help matters for young athletes. The fear of making mistakes due to adult pressures to perform impedes individual freedom and creativity, hinders what we call True Skill Development, and makes the GAME no longer fun for the PLAYers.
We're here to change the culture.
Our goals are to help players, coaches, and parents redefine what it means to be successful in youth sports competition; empower young athletes by allowing them to have full control over this redefined success; and assist coaches by providing tools and ideas designed to maximize player development potential, interest, and enjoyment.
Transform Training Ground Technique Into Real-Game Skill
There is a difference between technique and skill. All the technical skill in the world doesn't help players if they cannot put the technique to use under the pressures of actual game competition. Technique is learned, and that learning happens on the training fields. Skill is also learned, and the best way to develop skill is through practice in real game situations. Skillzys® facilitate parents and coaches to help their young players focus on this skill development, help encourage the attempt of this skill, and allow recognition of successful skill execution regardless of the final score in any youth soccer match. This focus, encouragement, and recognition help breed confidence, excitement, and passion for the game in all players, ensuring a positive youth soccer experience for all.
In the end, it's ALL about the smiles.
