A retractable sports goal includes a base housing and a goal frame. The housing includes first and second post sections and a crossbar section. The goal frame includes first and second goal posts and a crossbar. The bottom ends of the goal posts are in contact with the post sections during movement of the goal frame between a retracted position and a playing position. In the retracted position the goal frame is disposed in the housing with the goal posts and the crossbar respectively disposed adjacent the first and second post sections and the crossbar section, in the playing position the goal frame is disposed vertically with the bottom ends of the goal posts respectively disposed adjacent front ends of the first and second post sections.

The invention disclosed comprises an apparatus, method of using, assembling and stowing the apparatus, and a kit including the apparatus and components for training players to achieve lift when kicking a football that requires an angled trajectory. The invention functions to provide a physical point of reference and visual target for a kicker to establish consistent kicking skills and achieve predictable angles. The apparatus is sturdy, easily and reversibly disassembled, and stored as part of a durable, packable kit to organize the required training gear. The method includes a series of steps whereby the apparatus is assembled; a kicker kicks the ball; if the angle of the kick is sufficient to lift the ball over the apparatus it will go over the visual target, if not it will fall under the visual target. The kit comprises at least a carry bag with various pockets for the device and related equipment.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, coordinate dynamic adjustments of a trailer based in part on a user profile associated with a user physically present at the trailer and an activity profile associated with an activity selected to be performed at the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a tilt of a lower surface of the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a dimension(s) of the trailer based in part on a detected object(s). Various dynamic adjustments may occur concurrently, individually and/or sequentially. The trailer may be a moveable trailer for temporary attachment with a vehicle.

A once-piece hockey puck-training device for improving hockey puck shooting comprising a hockey goalie panel mannequin having a 2-dimensional shape similar to a shape of a hockey goalie in a butterfly style position with the hockey goalie panel mannequin constructed from a manipulated durable material characterized to produce a rebound of a hockey puck which ricochets off the mannequin simulating the rebound of a hockey puck which rebounds from a hockey goalie, the hockey goalie panel mannequin securable to a hockey goal post to form a right shoulder target slot, a left shoulder target slot, a right lower arm target slot, a left lower shoulder target slot, and a between the legs/skates target slot with the target slots shaped and sized to mimic the typical scoring areas when a hockey goalie is tending a net in the “butterfly style” technique.

A golf system comprising a reconfigurable golf green having a hole for receiving a golf ball, wherein the reconfigurable golf green includes a plurality of movable golf green sections (e.g. wherein the movable golf green sections are provided in a reconfigurable array).

A game net for playing a game involving hitting an object back-and-forth between players located on opposite sides of the net. The game net has a netting or panel that is supportable on a frame or otherwise above a ground surface and is movable from location to location. The netting or panel has an opening or window formed completely therethrough to provide passage of the object through the netting or panel when hit by one or more players located on opposite sides of the netting or panel. With the game net, players must direct the object more accurately through the window with a higher degree of precision than what is required to pass an object over existing game nets.

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 sports training system includes an array of break beam sensors. Each sensor is configured to detect a passage of an object, such as a hockey puck, between adjacent posts and provide information for the passage to a controller communicatively attached to the array of sensors. A mobile application is configured to receive information from the controller and provide, for presentation to a user, passage statistics for the passages completed by one or more players. Servers are located in at least one data center. The servers are configured to receive and store the passage statistics and to provide access to the passage statistics.

A soccer training system may include one or more rebound units, including: a base; at least one rebound surface and at least one tunnel having a tunnel inlet and a tunnel outlet, the tunnel has a cross section larger than a soccer ball. The shape of the tunnel may be such that when the base is placed on the ground a soccer ball entering the inlet is directed towards the outlet. The system may further include one or more defense player simulation devices, including a stable body to be placed on a field; and at least one adjustable indicator located on the stable body. In operation the at least one adjustable indicator may be configured to provide game instructions to a user. The system may further include a controller configured to: control the at least one adjustable indicator to provide the game instructions to the user.
