The Individual Instinct developer is a uniquely designed integrated remote controlled, electronic LED light based System that consists of two major groups #1 remote unit and #2 light device with control box and a power supply. The Light device is to be secured to a harness or band that is be worn either on the body of individuals, or as an attachment to the individuals protective equipment or field equipment, which is to be used in individual/team drills and training to assist the development of an Individuals instinct. To achieve this, the System operator will input a color scheme into his remote unit which will be linked to the Light devices worn by other Individuals or attached to the field equipment. The system operator will than inform the individuals of the colors that are to be illuminated on the light device and the reaction required to each individual color as he cycles thru the color scheme on his remote unit.

A system for illustrating the flight of a sports ball includes a radar, an imager, and a controller. The imager is configured to image a moving sports ball. The controller is configured to (i) receive, from the imager, an image including the moving sports ball, (ii) receive, from the radar, radar data associated with the moving sports ball, (iii) determine, from the radar data, a portion of a trajectory of the moving sports hall, (iv) alter the image to illustrate the portion of the trajectory relative to the moving sports ball, and (v) output the altered image.

The present invention relates to sports balls. A sports ball comprises a surface layer comprising a plurality of panels. The sports ball further comprises a lattice structure extending below the surface layer, wherein the lattice structure comprises a plurality of lattice cells comprising radially extending elements. The lattice cells which are adjacent to the surface layer have at least one dimension which is smaller than an average diameter of the panels.

A portable sports rack and delivery system including an elongate rack enclosure, and a method of use thereof are provided. The elongate rack enclosure defines a storage space for accommodating balls stacked one above the other. A delivery opening, disposed at a first end of the elongate rack enclosure, receives, accommodates, and delivers an uppermost ball from the storage space. A base member, attached to a second end of the elongate rack enclosure, supports the stacked balls within the storage space. A release component including a compression spring, disposed on an upper surface of the base member, elastically compresses and expands to elevate and release the uppermost ball from the storage space for delivery through the delivery opening. A training component, operably and adjustably coupled to a rear section of the elongate rack enclosure, extends above the first end of the elongate rack enclosure to assist in training a sportsperson.

Virtual and augmented reality sports training environments are disclosed. A user interacts with virtual players in a simulated environment of a virtual reality sporting event. In some embodiments, the user's actions and decisions are monitored by the simulated environment. The environment evaluates the user's performance, and provides quantitative scoring based on the user's decisions and timing. Coaches and other users may design customized scenarios or plays to train and test users, and the resultant scores may be reviewed by the coach. In one application, real life pitchers and their pitching data are tracked and replicated in a simulated pitching environment. A team of users may practice against a simulation of a pitcher they are about to compete against, swinging at pitches that they would see in a real game. Such environments may maximize effective practice time for users, and help develop better players with improved decision-making skills.

This invention deals with portable modular equipment for area assembly multisport and/or multipurpose and method of setting up multisport area and/or multipurpose, ideal for sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, handball or other sports, as well as physical, educational and recreational activities that primarily aim at the production of knowledge related to teaching/learning/leisure; the modular equipment (10) is completely portable and conformed by one, preferably, two modules (20), each of them to the format preferential use of a container (21) and able to pack a set of parts structural (CP) that correspond to half of a multisport/multipurpose area (AP); said set of pieces (CP) is basically composed of a fencing bottom link (30A), two side fences (30B), at least four modular bleachers (40), at least one access structure (30C), accessories goal posts (60), volleyball nets (61) or others, at least one self-contained set for generating lighting (70) and Wi-Fi signal, synthetic grass or modular floor coverings (GS), as well as components of mounting type connectors, screws and others.

A sports ball, such as a lacrosse ball, comprising, an outer shell layer defining an enclosure having an interior volume for housing a filler material, the outer shell layer comprising a plurality of sections (pads or panels) connected along a plurality of seams, the sections having an outer surface comprising one or more layers of a substantially smooth non-woven synthetic leather, such as a synthetic suede, microfiber, or micro-velour, with an optional surface coating, which produce a frictional resistance (coefficient of friction) which decreases ball slippage against a surface or when released from the strings of a lacrosse stick.

A method for motion data processing includes: sensing a plurality of motion data of football player by a magnetic football and magnetic sensors; according to the motion data, analyzing the player's motion trajectory by a processing chip, and identifying whether the player's kicking motion is sliding tackle, smashing or dribbling.

A lacrosse training ball that is made up of a shell that defines an enclosure having an interior volume is disclosed. The shell includes a plurality of pads connected along a plurality of seams sewn with a thread having a finishing knot. The interior volume is substantially occupied by a filler that includes a mixture of a first material and a second material.
