An adjustable sports training system comprises a mounting infrastructure comprising a pair of angled arms and a cylindrical shaft, a goal structure fixed to the shaft's inferior portion, a pivot mechanism mounted to the shaft and configured to rotate the goal structure, and a computerized control system configured to remotely adjust the pivot mechanism. The pivot mechanism further includes a servomechanism, a high ratio gearbox, a shaft coupler, a housing and a pair of bearings through which the shaft runs. The servomechanism comprises a servomotor connected to the gearbox and configured to provide rotational movement of the shaft and connected goal structure, a drive device having logic level and ethernet connectivity, a DC power supply, a DC power cable, and a servomotor cable.

Systems and methods for facilitating access to shooting statistics data for a basketball player are provided. A user interface receives a user selection of identifying information for the basketball player and a subset of plurality of pass receipt locations located about a basketball playing surface for an ejector to pass said basketballs to as part of a basketball practice drill for the basketball player. A detector detects passage of basketballs through a rim of a basketball goal to indicate a made basketball shot. A control system commands the ejector to launch at least one basketball towards each pass receipt location in the subset. One or more remote electronic devices electronically store data indicating the player's success in making shots from the pass receipt location in the subset in association with the identifying information.

A system for automatically detecting made and missed basketball shots using machine vision includes a launcher connected to a structural subassembly which passes basketballs to locations about a basketball playing area. One or more cameras are connected to the structural subassembly and capture images of an underside or an upper side of a rim of the basketball goal. One or more controllers program the launcher to pass the basketballs to select locations forming part of a basketball practice arrangement, receive images from the camera(s), associate each of the received images with one of the passes from the launcher forming part of the basketball practice arrangement, and process each of the received images using a machine vision model to determine which of said received images indicate a made shot.

According to one exemplary embodiment, a computer implemented personified sporting apparatus, system, method and/or computer program product may provide an electronically and programmably controlled sporting device. Certain embodiments include one or two or more robots with one two or more sporting devices coupled to each robot(s). A sporting apparatus can include: at least one sporting device, wherein said at least one sporting device comprises: at least one electronic computer processor; at least one electronic memory device coupled to said at least one electronic computer processor; at least one of at least one electronic input device or at least one electronic output device and at least one electronic user interface configured to at least one of: enable at least one user to interact with said at least one sporting device; receive a selection of at least one sporting routine; or receive instructions to control said at least one sporting device.

The invention is a training system used to train basketball players. The training system is specifically used for training players to make successful shots in the face of defensive player motion blocking and shot blocking/deflection tactics.

Disclosed herein are device and system for rebounding basketballs comprising: a) a bottom frame assembly having a front portion, first and second side portions, and a rear portion, the bottom frame assembly comprising: i) a bottom support frame having a plurality of detachably connected tubular elements defining the edge of the bottom frame assembly, and ii) a bottom screen component attached to the bottom support frame; and b) at least two side frame assemblies, each side frame assembly having front, rear, top, bottom, and portions, each side frame assembly comprising: i) a side support frame having a plurality of detachably connected tubular elements, ii) a side screen component attached to the side support frame, and iii) an attachment component connected to a portion of the side frame assembly, and configured to releasably attach the side frame assembly to a basketball backboard at a substantially fixed position.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a sensor coupled to a processor; and a transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.

A training apparatus for ball-playing sports comprising a tether having a first end affixed to a connector module and a second end affixed to a ball securing device. The ball securing device is configured to secure a ball therein. A belt may be configured to have the connector module engaged therewith where the belt is to be worn around a waist of a user. The connector module operable to traverse a length of the belt in response to a throwing force applied to the ball.

A basketball training apparatus includes a shot completion sensor, a condition sensor, and a computer. The shot completion sensor determines whether a shot goes through a basketball hoop. The condition sensor senses a physical condition of a basketball shooter. The computer is in communication with the shot completion sensor and the condition sensor, and has a processor for calculating shot completion percentage as a function of the physical condition.

The system is an athletic training station for individual and team sports. The station may be a ball-handling and passing station that includes a television with a virtual coach and training walls. The television may project a virtual trainer and the walls may allow a user to mimic passing and handling techniques by utilizing the walls of the station. The station may be stationary or portable. The station may include a front and a back portion that allow more than one user to utilize the station at a time.
