Objective of the study was to design a football simulator to secure progress of football players in a variety of aspects including: technical skills, complex responses, action accuracy, positioning skills, response speed, and physical fitness. Benefits of a robotic `Footbot` training system applied in the technical fitness building component of the Russian footballers` training systems are discussed and supported by the progress test rates of the 16-17 year-old footballers trained in one of the leading Russian academies. Of special promise and benefits are the `Footbot` training system assisted individualized training options designed to bridge the tested gaps in the individual fitness, rate progress of each player and generate current ratings of the footballers.
