A sports training ball is disclosed that is made up of a shell having an embossed design that defines an enclosure having an interior volume substantially occupied by a filler that includes a mixture of a first material, a second material, and a third material.

An adjustable weight shot system may include a core, inner and outer weight portions, and a body and cap. The inner weight portion may have two coupling hemispheres configured to receive the core in an inner weight portion cavity. Or the inner weight portion may be a hollow cylindrical portion configured to receive the core. The outer weight portion may have two coupling hemispheres configured to receive the inner weight portion in an outer weight portion cavity. Or the outer weight portion may be a hollow cylindrical portion configured to receive the inner weight portion. The body and cap may be configured to retainer the outer weight portion in a weight cavity defined by the body and cap.

Training apparatuses are provided that include a substantially spherical, hollow shell formed from a pair of hemispherical portions. The hemispherical portions may each include an annular peripheral edge having a fastening mechanism, which may be adapted to provide rigidity and structure to the training apparatus. At least one hemispherical portion may further include a number of protrusions extending along an inner surface from the peripheral edge, the protrusions configured to provide structural support and durability to the training apparatus.

The disclosure herein is directed to a gaming system that comprises a game board, a field position indicator, a line of scrimmage stick, projectiles, and a method of play involving these components. The game board can be configured to hinge at a location that is conducive for storage.

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.

This disclosure relates generally to sport ball systems, methods, and devices. More specifically, this disclosure relates to weighted sport balls, such as softballs, baseballs, footballs, volleyballs, and basketballs, used for training athletes. Even more particularly, this disclosure relates to weighted sport balls with outer shells having seams. This disclosure also relates to weighted sports balls with seams that match regulation sport ball seams.
