A net holder for a basketball net, comprising a closed hoop, a net, an insert ring open in one portion arranged circumferentially in the hoop, wherein the insert ring can be inserted in the inner circumference of the hoop, wherein the open portion of the insert ring is angled with its ends so that two pins oriented in the same direction from the plane of the insert ring protrude from same and are connected in turn to one another by a crosspiece with a fixed and a releasable bearing for the pins, wherein a snap lock is arranged in the region of the releasable bearing for the pin and can be latched into the crosspiece by using a tappet to block the releasable bearing.

A basketball training device that presents an elevated target suspended between the player and the basketball goal. Preferred embodiments of the device include a moveable base, a telescoping mast and a horizontally oriented arm featuring a target. The device is used to teach a player to shoot a basketball by perfecting the arc of the shot from the player's hands to the goal. The target is positioned between the player and the goal such that the player shoots over the target to make a basket. The mast can be raised and lowered using a winch and pulley system to adjust the device to the player's individual height and arm length. The device can be disassembled for storage and transport. The device trains the player to shoot the basketball with the correct arc to consistently make their shot.

Disclosure of the present invention relates to an inverse “L” shaped tennis practice stand or device, which is installed on ground and is considerably higher than a person's height or to a wall-mountable tennis practice device, which is installed via bracket installed at a certain point at a house or building structure. In the tennis practice device according to the present invention, when a trainee hits the ball with a racket (racquet), the ball flies along a circumferential orbit/trajectory with weight or stopper, which is at an end of a horizontal pole, as the center point—that is the ball flies in the skyward direction in front (forward region) of the trainee and then returns to the same circumferential orbit/curve due to gravity, and the trainee practices tennis by repeatedly hitting the ball that falls in front of the trainee.

A game board for playing a bag toss game and methods for playing and scoring the same are provided. A playing surface includes a hole located at a distal half thereof and sized to receive a bag tossed therethrough. A leg located at a distal half of the game board permits angling the playing surface relative to a ground surface. A scoring indicator is selectively attachable to a number of attachment mechanism provided at a series of locations along the playing surface. Scoring lines are provided at the game board in association with the attachment mechanism so that the scoring indicator may be secured adjacent to one of the scoring lines to indicate a current score of the bag toss game.

Device (1) for cycling training that comprises a bicycle which can be integral with the device or not, a support (2), a drive system (3) and a pendulum (6) that joins the support (2) to the drive system (3). In the device, the pendulum (6) is rotationally attached to the support (2) by an upper end (2a) by the upper end (6a) of the pendulum (6), and this allows the swinging motion of the bicycle with the cyclist on it. The device (1) further comprises actuators (9), which extend from a lower end (6b) of the pendulum (6) to a base (2b) of the support (2), and are responsible for damping the swing. At the same time, the drive system (3) is also rotationally connected to the lower end (6b) by an upper part (3a) of the drive system (3) and to the support (2) by means of a guide mechanism (15) through a lower part (3b) of the drive system (3).

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.

The invention relates to an aquatic game device comprising a structure having two ends which are each fitted with a base module, said structure being sufficiently deformable so as to allow the relative movement of said modules, the density of the modules being designed to allow the immersion of said device in water with the modules arranged such that they stand on a subaquatic surface, and the density of the structure being designed so as to be able to suspend said structure in the water according to at least one game configuration.

A workout apparatus having a crossbar with a first end and a second end, with each end of the crossbar engaging a pivot mount. The workout apparatus having four legs, with each pivot mount further engaging two legs therefore allowing the legs to be selectively rotatable around each of the pivot mounts in both a lateral axis and longitudinal axis of the crossbar. The workout apparatus having a first position where each pair of legs engaging each pivot mount at an angle greater than zero relative to each other and supporting the crossbar. The workout apparatus having a second position where the four legs are adjacent to the crossbar and positioned within the longitudinal plane of the crossbar.

A takedown structure for 3×3 grid game includes a plurality of tubular frame members having a rectangular cross-section, each tubular frame member including two grooves on top and bottom surfaces respectively; a plurality of different fitting members, each including a parallelepiped body and a plurality of arms, each including an axial hole and a plurality of main sections, each having a tapered portion wherein each arm is configured to frictionally dispose in an end of the frame member; and a plurality of rectangular boards, each including two projections on top and bottom edges respectively, each projection being configured to complimentarily dispose in the groove, and a digit formed on an outer surface of the rectangular board.

A basketball practice device for training a player to shoot with hir or her arms up includes a base member. The basketball practice device also includes a vertical member coupled to the base member. The vertical member has a lower end coupled to the base and an upper end. The basketball practice device further includes a horizontal member coupled to the upper end of the vertical member. Vertical guideposts may be coupled to the horizontal member.
