A game goal includes a net and a support frame by which the net is supported. The support frame is articulated to collapse into a storage-ready state and expand into a play-ready state. The support frame is further selectively retained in the game-ready state by a snap fit on each of opposing sides thereof.

A goal frame for a goal apparatus, the goal frame including a crossbar member, a first and a second goalpost member, a support member, and a rotatable attachment member. Respective ends of the crossbar member are attached to, or are operable to attach to, a respective end of the first and second goal post members to form a goal face. The attachment of the respective end of the crossbar member to the end of the first goal post member forms a crossbar-goalpost corner portion of the goal face. The rotatable attachment member is attached to, or is operable to attach to, the goal face adjacent to the crossbar-goalpost corner portion. The rotatable attachment member is attached to, or is operable to attach to, an end of the support member. The rotatable attachment member is operable to rotate about the part of the goal face to which it is attached from a first position in which the attached support member extends outwardly from the goal face to a second position in which the attached support member extends along substantially the same plane as the goal face.

Provided herein is a gaming assembly having two or more collapsible frames, two or more facings, and one or more means for attachment. Each of the frames may be composed of first and second upright frame members that are connected by one or more crossbar frame members to define a vertical plane. Each of the two or more facings is configured to fasten to the upright frame members and the crossbar frame members, covering the vertical plane. The facings feature one or more means for capturing the one or more means for attachment, such as by means of magnetic strips. The means for attachment may be made of a material such as rope with pieces of magnetic metal attached at each end, and is used to connect a first frame to a second frame.

An exercise station with a pull-up bar is disclosed. The exercise station is freestanding without engaging external structures, and supports a user in performing an exercise routine, such as pull-ups or dips. The exercise station may be collapsed to a small footprint and a low vertical profile without removal or disassembly of the exercise station's components.

A method for exercising muscles in an ankle, foot, and/or leg of a user includes positioning a foot of a user onto a first body of an exercise device. The first body is spaced away from a second body of the device and pivotably connected to the second body of the device at a pivot axis. The pivot axis is adjacent to a central portion of the first body. The method includes rotating the first body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a first resistive force. Rotating the first body includes subjecting the foot to a first motion. The method includes positioning the foot onto the second body. The method includes rotating the second body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a second resistive force. Rotating the second body includes subjecting the foot to a second motion, the second motion being different than the first motion.

A pitching target assembly for training baseball or softball pitchers. A target defines a plurality of zones, each being backed by a pocket or pouch for catching the baseball or softball. The height of the target can be adjusted to match that of a batter. The zones of the target may be adjusted as well, to tailor the targeting within the zone for specific purposes. The target may also be configured at an acute angle relative to a base plane of the pitching target assembly for practicing drop pitches.

Embodiments described herein are related to a sports training device. The sports training device may include a base structure having a supporting element and a shaft coupled to the base structure such that the shaft is selectively raised or lowered relative to the base structure. A resilient rod may be coupled to the second end of the shaft and disposed. The resilient rod may be capable of bending to absorb an impulse and returning to a first resting position along. A longitudinal rod structure may be coupled to the resilient rod. The longitudinal rod structure may be disposed along the first axis and capable of rotating with the bending of the resilient rod. A reference object may be coupled to an end of the longitudinal rod structure. The reference object may be disposed along or proximate to a target trajectory of a sports ball.

Posture training systems provide hands-free shoulder and back\spine alignment assistance for facilitating correct posture and alignment of the shoulders and spine of an athlete throughout swing or other physical rotational movements, and methods of their use. The posture training systems include vests that provide information during and throughout the rotational movement about spine-tilt angle relative to the ground, plane of the shoulders during torso rotation, perpendicularity between the spine and a line drawn between the shoulders, as well as departures from or maintenance of any of the initial parameters.

A game goal includes a net and a support frame by which the net is supported. The support frame is articulated to collapse into a storage-ready state and expand into a play-ready state. The support frame is further selectively retained in the game-ready state by a snap fit on each of opposing sides thereof.

A device for training athletes with direction control, the training device having modular sections connected by a common elastic material, such as an elastic cord, the modular sections being capable of being connected to form a rectangular configuration and disconnected for storage, the device when connected providing a physical and visual guide for the user on any chosen surface. The modular sections can be tubular sections having ninety-degree connectors to form a rectangular configuration, the modular sections and connectors capable of being various sizes, shapes, lengths and widths to form a rectangular configuration when interconnected. The various modular sections and/or connectors can be configured with an elastic cord, hinges or have one or more modular section that are telescopic in nature, which make the device capable to be quickly and easily reduced or enlarged in the size of the device while keeping each component of the device fully connected and in proper order.
