The application relates to a foldable rebound net frame includes a surface frame and supporting stands. The surface frame includes a frame structure and a rebound net mounted on the frame structure, the frame structure comprises a plurality of supporting rods and connecting mechanisms, the plurality of supporting rods are connected in a head-to-tail manner by the connecting mechanisms, and two ends of each of the plurality of supporting rods are rotatably mounted on corresponding ones of the connecting mechanisms respectively. The supporting stands are adjustably mounted on corresponding ones of the plurality of supporting rods. The foldable rebound net frame of the disclosure has a simple structure and a low production cost, also has a small size and is convenient to carry in a folded state.

A multi-functional basketball cross-training apparatus, system, and method are provided. The apparatus includes at least two substantially vertical members. At least two bases are connected to a lower portion of the at least two substantially vertical members, respectively. The two bases provide support for the at least two substantially vertical members on a ground surface. At least one cross bar is removably connectable between the at least two substantially vertical members. The cross bar is position-adjustable along a vertical height of each of the two substantially vertical members. An upper portion of each of the at least two substantially vertical members has a plurality of members having a humanoid configuration.

An apparatus for a ball stowable support is provided. The apparatus includes a frame, an elastic cover secured to the frame, and at least one leg supporting the frame. Each leg of the at least one leg has an opening. The opening is configured to retain a ball.

A shooting system includes a collapsible ball capture support adapted to support a ball capture device and a ball return. The ball return detects a ball captured by the ball capture device and returns the ball to a user in response to the detected ball. To return the ball to the user, the system identifies a location of the user with respect to the shooting system, orients the ball return toward the user, and accelerates the ball along a trajectory based on a distance between the user and the shooting system.

A golf putting training device with a base and a plurality of posts extending upwardly from the base is provided. The plurality of posts may be positioned on a diameter of a circle and the diameter may be generally equal to a golf hole diameter. A distance between at least two of the plurality of posts is less than the golf hole diameter and thereby provides a narrow opening for a golf ball to roll through. A pair of sleeves may be positioned on a pair of adjacent posts such that the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through is reduced. Also, an elastic member may extend between two posts and across the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through such that a golf ball putted towards the narrow opening is redirected when it is rolls into the elastic member.

A rebound screen is provided that includes a curved rebound surface. The curved rebound surface is held in a bowed position on a supporting frame to provide a rebounding effect to an object striking the panel. The curved panel provides a surface that increases the range of angles, e.g., lateral angles, from which a ball can be rebounded off of the surface as compared to flat panel rebound devices.

A ball pitching device including a launching surface for receiving balls, the launching surface being configured to receive and hold a ball in the launching position prior to the ball being launched, a launching system including at least one impulse mechanism configured to impact the ball in the launching position, and one or more control components configured to control at least one of a pitch power and a pitch trajectory of the ball launched from the launching position.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a system for returning a golf ball to a golfer playing simulated golf or hitting a golf ball towards any vertical surface or hitting it into a net or such, the system including a ball catcher tray assembly adapted to receive a golf ball after the golfer has hit the ball against an impact surface, the ball catcher tray optionally including ball catcher tray sections connected together. Embodiments may also include a golf ball launcher adapted to receive the golf ball as it rolls from the ball catcher tray assembly. Embodiments may also include a modular track system comprised of interconnected track sections, at least one of which may be connected to the golf ball launcher and may be adapted to receive the golf ball from the golf ball launcher as the ball may be propelled toward the golfer.

A golf ball verification system and method is described. The illustrative golf ball verification system includes balls, bays and at least one target. Each of the balls includes a unique ID indicator. Additionally, each of the bays includes a ball dispenser, a first ball ID reader, a first diverter, and a first reject ball chute. The first ball ID reader identifies any of the balls having unreadable ID indicators. The first diverter selects any of the balls having unreadable ID indicators for collection by the first reject ball chute. Furthermore, each target includes a ball detector, a second ball ID reader, a second diverter, and a second reject ball chute. The second ball ID reader identifies any of the balls having unreadable ID indicators. The second diverter selects the balls having unreadable ID indicators for collection by the second reject ball chute.

A target training apparatus includes an axle shaft, and the axle shaft includes three rebounding portions. Each one of the rebounding portions can be rotated relative to the axle shaft in order adjust angles among each one of the rebounding portions. In addition, each one of the rebounding portions can be positioned onto the axle shaft after the position thereof are set completely. The present invention utilizes three rebounding portions arranged at different angles as different ball striking targets, and the diversity of the ball bouncing direction is increased in order to improve the athlete training effect.
