A protective field screen system that includes a screen frame system (including a screen frame and a protective screen that includes a netting coupled to the screen frame), a base frame to be disposed on a supporting surface, and resilient members. The screen frame coupled to the base frame by way of the resilient members, and the resilient members to deform to facilitate movement of the screen frame relative to the base frame.

The present invention is a training apparatus and method-of-use for developing a hockey player's stick handling techniques to carry the puck forward and perform a variety of shots. The apparatus includes a collapsible platform which is utilized by athletes and trainers that includes drills and guides that promote stickhandling skills, teach proper techniques in four different categories of shooting, and encourage correct posture for skating and stickhandling motion.

A soccer training device can include: a body having a front surface facing a first direction; and an illuminating contact sensor associated with the body so that a light emitter is visible and capable of emitting light in substantially the same first direction that the front surface faces and so that a force contact above a predetermined threshold with the body is sensed by a sensing module. In some aspects, the illuminating contact sensor is at least one of: coupled with the soccer training member; removable from the soccer training member; or integrated with the soccer training member.

A unique apparatus and method for a hand toss-catch game is provided to a user for recreational and competitive gameplays. The apparatus includes a foldable game board of two panels connected with a hinge and a bracket to allow for quick deployment and storage. The panels incorporate various holes and bumps to facilitate increased difficulty. The method allows at least two teams to play and/or compete. Each player starts by tossing a ball to the game board at a starting position and catching the rebounding ball while remaining at the position. The player then plays toss-catch at each of the intermediate positions by stepping away to the next position until a finishing position. The gameplay switches to another team on the opposite side of the game board if the player does not catch the ball. The player/team with the highest number of positions played wins the game.

A portable precision soccer game device and method for use on the ground for playing a game of precision soccer including a pair of goal structures arranged on the ground placed apart from one another. Each goal structure includes a board placed on the ground in a leaned position with legs configured to hold the board which includes three cut-sections; two three cut-sections are formed at the bottom configured to intersect with the ground, and one cut-section is provided off the ground and above the two cut-sections provided at the bottom of the board. The goal structure includes a net mounted to legs corresponding to three cut-sections such that three cut-sections, net and board simulate a miniature soccer goal with multiple precision targets. The three cut-sections form a T-section simulating a soccer goalkeeper. The goal structure also includes at least one cut-section provided in the board for receiving a ball.

A multifunctional tennis net, comprising a pair of nets, wherein the pair of nets are arranged side by side or in a vertical direction, the pair of nets comprises two independent meshes which are bonded by Velcro. The upper and lower sides of the nets are provided with second connecting pipes, and the left and right sides of the nets are provided with first connecting pipes. The bottom of the first connecting pipes are movably inserted with a bracket, and the outer wall of the first connecting pipes are sleeved with T-shaped sleeves and Z-shaped sleeves. The first connecting pipes are movably plugged with the second connecting pipes through the T-shaped sleeves, the first connecting pipes are movably plugged with the brackets through the Z-shaped sleeves, and the T-shaped sleeves and the Z-shaped sleeves are provided with positioning holes.

A free-standing sports training wall is provided, the free-standing sports training wall including a frame and a substantially smooth heat-strengthened glass panel attached to the frame. The glass panel forming at least part of a rebound surface of the free-standing sports training wall.

A protective field screen system that includes a screen frame system (including a screen frame and a protective screen that includes a netting coupled to the screen frame), a base frame to be disposed on a supporting surface, and resilient members. The screen frame coupled to the base frame by way of the resilient members, and the resilient members to deform to facilitate movement of the screen frame relative to the base frame.

A field screen system that includes a screen frame system including a screen frame and a screen coupled to the screen frame, a base frame configured to be disposed on a supporting surface, and resilient members. The screen frame coupled to the base frame by way of the resilient members, and the resilient members configured to deform to enable movement of the screen frame relative to the base frame.

Ball return devices may include a body having a front surface configured to return a ball incident thereon and a back surface. The body may be configured to be positioned at an angle to, and coincident with, an underlying surface, the angle between the ground surface and the body being variable. The ball return devices may also include an attachment mechanism coupled to the body and adapted to attach the body to an external anchoring mechanism.
