PICKLEBALL TRAINING NET
A pickleball training net includes: a bracket and a rebound net, a cross member is arranged in a middle of the bracket, the cross member divides the bracket to form an upper half area and a lower half area, the rebound net is arranged in the upper half area of the bracket, the bracket is provided with a number of hooks to fix the rebound net, the rebound net is provided with a identification tape, a middle section of the rebound net is divided into a rebound area by the identification tape. The pickleball training net can assist the training person to complete single person training and the pickleball training net is easy to carry, the simulation is high, the rebound effect is good, the requirement on the field is low, and the inclination angle of the bracket can be adjusted according to the need.
Portable Sports Court System
A portable boundary system (PBS), which is a complete pre-measured boundary-line system used for sport specific boundary lines/markings. Whether tennis, pickleball, basketball, badminton or other sports requiring boundary lines/markings, the PBS's of the present disclosure allow a single user to accurately set-up and define a sport's court/playing area. Assembly and disassembly of PBS's and pop-up nets takes a fraction of the overall time and cost of traditional court assembly methods. Since PBS's and pop-up nets are portable, they can be packaged efficiently and moved to varying locations. PBS's do not mark or mar gym floors, concrete, asphalt, grass or other hard or soft surfaces. PBS's are made from PVC/Vinyl and are durable and re-usable.
PICKLEBALL NET
One example pickleball net apparatus includes first and second uprights, a scissor mechanism connected to the first and second uprights, a net removably connectible to the first and second uprights, and legs connected at least indirectly to the uprights, and the legs are configured to move automatically in response to manipulation of the scissor mechanism, so that the pickleball net apparatus moves between a folded state and a deployed state.
LET DETECTION SYSTEM FOR MONITORING MOVEMENT OF A NET CORD
A let detection system includes a sensor including an accelerometer attached to a tennis net. The sensor is in wireless communication with an umpire device able to send a message to the sensor, wherein the message causes the sensor to calibrate and begin monitoring for a let. The sensor determines a three-dimensional (3D) vector representing the gravity acting on the sensor as a baseline. When the sensor detects vertical acceleration of the net relative to the baseline and the vertical motion is above a preset threshold, the sensor automatically transmits a let notification message to the umpire device.
Net system with fine height adjustment
A net system used for example a sports game and a fine height adjustment system is provided. A cable mount is coupled to one or both of the upright posts with coarse height adjustment. A cable system for supporting the net includes a first end coupled to the upright post, and a second end coupled to a tension system of the other upright post. An intermediate portion of the cable system is slidably coupled along a pivoting member of the cable mount. The cable mount includes the fine height adjustment system that is coupled to the pivoting member. The pivoting member is pivotable in an upward direction or a downward direction upon movement of the fine height adjustment system without relieving tension from the cable system. The total distance of travel provided by fine height adjustment may be less than an incremental distance with coarse height adjustment.
SPORTING DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD
A sporting display device comprising circuitry configured to control a plurality of electronic display elements to display one or more electronic images in response to a detection by detector circuitry of an occurrence of a predetermined event associated with a sport, the plurality of electronic display elements being attachable to a sports net associated with the sport in a configuration such that the one or more electronic images are displayed on the sports net.
GLOW IN THE DARK VOLLEYBALL SET
The present invention is a glow in the dark volleyball set with two illuminated volleyball poles, and an illuminated net stretched between the two volleyball poles. The glow in the dark volleyball set where the volleyball poles may be illuminated by LED lights or reflective material. The glow in the dark volleyball set with poles that may have integrated solar panels to sustain illumination. The glow in the dark volleyball set where the net is illuminated by LED lights or by reflective material.
Shallow water volleyball net anchoring system
The shallow water volleyball net anchoring system may be inserted into the ground to hold a pole for a volleyball net. The shallow water volleyball net anchoring system will generally be used in pairs of two to hold each end of a volleyball net. The anchoring system incorporates a sliding hammer that eases the task of driving the anchoring system thru the shallow water into the ground. The same sliding hammer may also be used to remove the anchoring system from the ground. With the anchoring system in the ground, a pole of a volleyball net may be placed in a central hole on the top of the anchor system and the anchoring system will hold the pole erect and stable.
Safety enclosure for trampoline users
A trampoline comprising a trampoline mat defining a jumping area and supported via springs from a circumextending support structure, the support structure including a plurality of legs so that the trampoline mat is positioned at a height above ground or flooring; the trampoline being provided with a safety enclosure surrounding the jumping area. The safety enclosure comprises a net supported by a plurality of telescopically extendable poles, each pole when extended comprising a plurality of sections, each successive extended section with distance above the trampoline mat having a cross-section less than that that of the next less extended section whereby the sections nest when telescopically collapsed. The lowermost such section is supported at a position above the ground or flooring by the support structure.
