Technologies for interactive training include a computing device and a light projection device such as a digital laser projector. The computing device creates a digital practice plan indicative of a play or drill. The play or drill is indicative of multiple player positions. The computing device projects a digital practice plan diagram onto a playing surface with the light projection device. The digital practice plan diagram is based on the digital practice plan and is indicative of the play or drill. The play or drill may be further indicative of movement associated with each player position, and the computing device may animate the digital practice plan diagram on the playing surface based on the digital practice plan. The computing device may receive a user command and further control the animation of the digital practice plan diagram in response to receiving the user command. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Portable Basketball Goal System with Removable Rebound Assembly
20230302340 · 2023-09-28 ·

A system that includes a portable basketball goal assembly and a rebound assembly that can be used together as a single piece of equipment or split and used as separate pieces of equipment. The rebound assembly has a rebound frame that is supported on a base frame. The angle of inclination of the rebound frame relative to the base frame can be selectively adjusted. The rebound frame defines a first central opening. The base frame defines a second central opening. A flexible rebound surface spans the first central opening. The rebound assembly selectively connects to, and detaches from, the portable basketball goal assembly. When the rebound assembly is attached to the portable goal assembly, the rebound surface redirects basketballs that fall through the net. When the rebound assembly is detached from the portable basketball goal assembly, the rebound assembly is free standing.

Sports wall assembly

Rate of deceleration is an important factor in determining the severity of injuries, such as head and neck injuries, possibly sustained when participants collide with a wall assembly while playing, for example, ice hockey. The described wall assemblies each include a support assembly and a movable wall assembly supported by and movable with respect to the support assembly. Telescoping parts of the movable wall assembly enable deflection of the movable wall assembly to complex angles with respect to the support assembly. In addition, movable wall assemblies can be couple such that impact on one wall assembly can cause deflection of an adjacent wall assembly. Covers, shields, and spacers can be positioned to decrease gap formation during deflection of the movable wall assembly to reduce the risk of pinch points.
