Players or teams will switch from playing offense to playing defense and vice versa just as they do in a real baseball game.
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.
Golfball rebounder
A golf swing training device is disclosed that will provide instant feedback on the position of the golfer's clubface at impact. The device consists of a rebounding surface enclosed, and attach to a frame with a safety net, a goal, a golf mat to provide a hitting surface, and a ribbon attached from the bottom of the frame to the golf mat for alignment and shot analysis. The rebounding surface faces opposite the goal such that when a practice golf ball hits it, it will land in the goal if struck properly. Its angle may be adjustable to accommodate different clubs for a proper rebound into the goal. The rebounder surface may be made from a foam material with a fabric covering that when struck, leaves an indention for visual target reference, repels the ball, and indicates ball spin by referencing where the ball landed inside or outside the goal.
STATIC TARGETING APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING ACCURACY AND METHOD
A static targeting apparatus for basketball, comprising; a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket has a plurality of connection means to secure to a backboard, a vertical member having a first end and a second end, wherein the vertical member is attached to the mounting bracket, and a direction marker, wherein the direction marker is attached to the backboard, wherein, the direction marker is positioned relative to the hoop.

Athletic training apparel and system
A training system includes apparel and balls that fasten to the apparel. The apparel includes patches or strips of hook/loop fastener material that couples to strips of the hook/loop fastener material on the balls. The balls are removed during training by an opponent. The balls are placed on the apparel to emphasize training to that region.
SPORTS TRAINING DEVICE AND IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF
Embodiments of a sports training device that incorporates structure to facilitate installation and transport. These embodiments include a frame with one or more articulating sections that can change the configuration of the frame. The different configurations can change the dimensions of the sports training device, e.g., reducing the dimensions for transport and increasing the dimensions to match the opening of a goal.
CLIMBING WALL WITH ROTATABLE OBSTACLES
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for the mounting of obstacles on a climbing wall in a manner which allows the obstacles to take on a number of different positions or orientations without a need to remove the obstacle mounting element from the climbing surface or perform any other significant disassembly. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus provide obstacles that can be repositioned by children during play to instantly create a variety of unique climbing challenge courses.
