Golf putting training devices and methods of use thereof
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.
APPARATUSES SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR TRAINING SOCCER PLAYERS
A soccer training system may include one or more rebound units, including: a base; at least one rebound surface and rat 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.
Mounting systems and methods for sports equipment
A mounting system for mounting a plurality of sport devices to a plurality of structures comprising a device attachment system and a structure attachment system. The device attachment system comprises a plurality of distal portions and a plurality of proximal portions. The structure attachment system attaches one of the proximal portions to each of the structures. Each of the distal portions is attached to one of the sport devices. Each of the distal portions is detachably attachable to each of the proximal portions to allow each of the sport devices to be detachably attached to each of the plurality of structures.
Foldable sport goals and throwback devices
Sports equipment include a frame with an outer telescoping member including a row of a plurality of openings along its length and a rotation-limiting slot at a first end. An inner telescoping member includes a push button that engages one of the plurality of openings of the outer telescoping member to secure the inner telescoping member to the outer telescoping member. A stub includes a pin that engages the rotation-limiting slot of the outer telescoping member to limit rotation of the outer telescoping member relative to the inner telescoping member. The outer telescoping member may rotate relative to the stub and the inner telescoping member to change a length of at least one member of the sports equipment frame.
Sports training system
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.
Ball return device
A ball return device having a frame and an elastic reflector supported on the frame. The elastic reflector has a first open end that is connected to a rim, and an opposite second end that is downwardly tapered from the first end to form a vertex at the second end. The elastic reflector is connected at the second end to the frame by a tension cord that supplies tension to the elastic reflector. The degree of tension in the tension cord, as well as the location of the attachment point of the tension cord on the frame, are adjustable.
Portable basketball hoop
A portable basketball hoop includes a base; a post comprising a bottom segment, at least one middle segment, and an upper segment. The base has a plurality of openings circumferentially positioned around at least a part the perimeter of the bottom surface. The bottom and at least one middle segment have a body portion with a plurality of locking structure-engaging areas thereby forming pairs of locking structure-engaging areas arranged in at least two rows locking structures engage the locking structure-engaging areas to secure the post segments together. A backboard comprising two outer sections hingedly connected to a middle section which secures to the upper segment of the post.
Portable soccer goal
A portable soccer goal frame with a base to which removable vertical poles having top side bar supports are joined holds a net to create a goal opening. The top side bar supports have a unique shape and extend horizontally from the top of the vertical poles in a manner that reduces the weight placed on the net fabric hung between the vertical poles. The top side bar supports also create a depth of the goal pocket without need for additional vertical posts. Each vertical post creates a pivot point at its bottom end, such that each vertical post is urged apart from the other post to create tension or leverage between the opposite top side bar supports, thus creating a more realistic goal shape and reducing sag at the top edge of the goal opening.
Elbow Joint Device for Goal Assembling
An elbow joint device applied in goal includes: a first rotation component, a second rotation component and a junction plate. The first and second rotation components which can be inserted into the inner side of goal bar having a first and a second connection component are assembled in the junction plate. The first and second rotation components have a first and a second groove with a first and a second rotation hole passing through. The first and second rotation components pivot on the junction plate via bolts in the first and second rotation holes so that a goal can be unfold or fold by using the elbow joint device.
