A mobile device and system which simulates human motion. The device includes a base with a drive system for providing motion to the device. A receiver is provided which controls the drive system the receiver receives wireless control signals. Pads and a self-stabilizing component are provided on the device. The device accurately mimics the unpredictable motion of a human motion to provide a safer alternative to live interaction to increase participant safety and decrease the incidence of injuries during practice or drill sessions. The system includes at least one mobile device. The mobile device includes: a base having a drive system for providing motion to the device; a receiver which controls the drive system the receiver receives wireless control signals; and self-stabilizing component provided on the device. The system also includes a transmitter for transmitting the control signals to the receiver.

A sports training safety system and method of operation thereof includes: a training dummy; a release attached to the training dummy; a delivery carriage mounted to the release; a delivery rail for supporting the delivery carriage; a transport system, attached to the delivery rail, for moving the delivery carriage and the training dummy along the delivery rail; and a controller.

A training apparatus, system and method for teaching proper athletic technique in contact sports. A first strap portion may be attached to a football helmet, and a second strap portion attached to shoulder pads. The apparatus provides feedback on the user's technique as tension is applied to the first and second strap portions, for example when the user attempts to lower their head during tackling or blocking, and causing detachment upon exceeding a threshold detachment force.

An apparatus includes a pair of support members, a cable, a rolling mechanism and a tackling bag. The pair of support members are fixedly coupled to a surface. The cable is attached to and extends between the pair of support members. The rolling mechanism is connected to the cable and configured to traverse the rod from a first end of the rod toward a second end of the rod. The tackling bag is attached to the rolling mechanism and configured to be propelled from one of the pair of support members toward the other of the pair of support members. The rolling mechanism is permitted to move relative to the cable when a force is applied to the tackling bag.

A sled leverage training sled in many implementations includes a first elongate member separated by a distance from a second elongate member. The elongate members may be tubes, pipes or other suitable shape that would allow for the leverage training sled to slide along the ground. A leverage training sled may also include a cross member having a first end adjacent to a portion of the first elongate member and a second end adjacent to a portion of the second elongate member. The sled may further include a contact member that extends from a portion of the cross member at a first angle relative to the cross member and is configured to pivot from the first angle to a second angle and an upright member that extends from a portion of the cross member. The leverage training sled may also include a bladder member positioned at a height between a portion of the upright member and a portion of the contact member.

A tackle training apparatus includes a padded body member and two padded elongate leg members in which each leg member has a first end for abutting the body member and a second end for contacting the ground. The two leg members are arranged in relation to the body member to extend from and to be resiliently movable relative to and/or separable from the body member, and in one configuration where the second end of each of the two leg members is placed on the ground, the two leg members can support the body member such that the apparatus is in a standing position, provides an effective training apparatus for improvements in collisions and especially tackles in rugby. Use of the apparatus facilitates improvement in point of contact, height of approach, grip technique and grip strength.
