Wheeled bags for travel
Carrying a bag over your shoulder or pulling it behind you: in the parking lot of a tournament, between the train station and the gym, the wheeled bag takes the strain off your back and leaves one hand free for the balls.
Player trolley for a weekend or large team model for club equipment, choose the size based on what you're transporting.
Player trolley or large team bag
The Core 2.0 trolley from Hummel, made from woven polyester, moves on two wheels and is held by a padded handle. It comes in M, L, and XL sizes. The Kempa trolley adds a zipped side pocket, a large second pocket in L and XL, and on the XL, a telescopic aluminium handle, a lower pouch, and quieter wheels.
The larger the bag, the more it serves the team: jerseys, first aid kit, or goalkeeper equipment.
Wheels, handle, base: what wears out first
On a wheeled bag, it’s the wheels and the base that take the impact from the pavements. A reinforced base protects the contents from moisture on a wet ground. Lift the bag to go up stairs instead of dragging it step by step.

Frequently asked questions
Does a bag on wheels count as checked luggage?
Yes, that's actually its main use on airplanes. Check the maximum weight allowed by your airline, as a large team trolley can quickly exceed this when full.
Two wheels or four wheels?
Two wheels perform better on pavements and parking lots, while four wheels glide better on a smoother surface like a train station hall. The Core 2.0 trolley from Hummel moves on two wheels, check the specifications for other models.
Is a wheelie bag suitable for a young player?
A size M is suitable for a young person going on a training camp or tournament. Avoid the XL, which is too heavy to handle once filled.
Can you carry a bag on wheels over your shoulder?
Some models have side handles for lifting, but few have a proper shoulder strap. If you switch often, a classic sports bag will be more comfortable.
How to maintain the wheels?
Regularly remove hair and gravel caught around the axle and wipe them after a trip in the rain. A dirty wheel will eventually rub and wear on one side.
