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.

This disclosure relates to a game apparatus including a housing, a motion measurement arrangement and a flexible tether. The motion measurement arrangement is at least partially located within the housing and includes a multi-axis pivot member movable relative to the housing in at least two axes. The motion measurement arrangement also includes a sensor arrangement for measuring multi-axis movement of the pivot member. The flexible tether has a free end coupled to a strikable object and a proximal end coupled to the pivot member. The motion measurement arrangement is configured to measure an indication of one or more parameters of the strikable object's motion upon striking of the strikable object by a user.

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.

An apparatus for training athletes having two supporting structures. The first structure has a base that can rest on a surface and walls that extend upward from the base to an upper end, defining an interior space. The walls incorporate a bar connector above the base designed to connect to and support one end of a bar. The walls have supporting elements above the base and below the upper end of the walls. The second structure has walls that are configured so that the lower end of the walls can engage the supporting elements of the first structure so that the second structure is supported by the first structure above the supporting elements. The second structure has a bar connector at the same height as the height of the bar connector of the first structure configured to connect to and support the other end of the bar.

A portable training apparatus including a collapsible frame and a net is provided. The collapsible frame includes a pair of base supports, a pair of vertical poles, and a horizontal pole. The base supports rest on a support surface. Each vertical pole is secured to a mid-section of a corresponding base support and projects upwards therefrom. The horizontal pole is disposed generally perpendicular to the vertical poles and is secured between the mid-sections of the base supports. The net is releasably secured to the vertical poles and the horizontal pole. The net includes one or more pockets built thereinto for receiving and retaining a sporting projectile, for example, a disc, thrown thereinto during practicing of disc golf drives, approach shots, and putts. Each pocket includes a top opening and a bottom opening integrated into the net for receiving and allowing removal of the sporting projectile, respectively.

A towing equipment used to train athletes' speed, strength and agility is disclosed to include a training unit, a magnetic resistance unit and a transmission mechanism. By an elastic training belt of the training unit, the towing equipment is connected to the human body. The kinetic energy generated by the human body pulling the elastic training belt is transmitted to the magnetic resistance unit through the transmission mechanism to generate resistance. The magnetic resistance unit includes a magnetic device set and an adjustment device set. The user can adjust the resistance generated by the magnetic device set through the adjustment device set. The magnetic device set includes a resistance wheel set on the frame body and a bearing block set corresponding to the resistance wheel. Use the overlap area of a magnetic field in the resistance wheel and the bearing block to generate magnetic flux.

A sports training-device (100) comprising: a base (102); a retainer (104) for retaining a ball (106); and a flexible tether (108), a first end of the flexible tether attached to said base, and a second end of the flexible tether attached to said retainer; said flexible tether configured to, in use, provide damped movement of a ball retained in said retainer, following application of a force to said ball.

A pivoting soccer goal mounted on a turntable can rotate so that a ball directed at the goal from nearly any angle will rotate the goal so that the ball will go into the goal. The goal can be seated in a standard golf cup and so can be used on a golf course. In another embodiment, the pivoting soccer goal can be mounted on a mat and set on any suitable field without the need for any holes in the ground.

A free-standing bag base suitable for supporting a training bag weighing up to about 275 lbs. The base of the bag is configured to enable the user to approach the bag's punching surface without impediment. Additionally, to improve access to the bag, the post is angled away from perpendicular.

A volleyball training apparatus has a laterally extending arm supported on a riser. A resilient member such as a spring is operably connected within the arm. The resilient member is connected to a flexible connector, such as a cable, that is connected to a volleyball. A series of spacers retains the volleyball away from the rigid arm. The height of the arm may be adjustable to locate the volleyball at a desired height. After a user strikes the volleyball, the volleyball is displaced from its original static position, but quickly is snapped back into the static position by the resilient member pulling the volleyball toward the arm against the spacers.
