MOTION LEARNING SYSTEM

A kinetic motion learning device includes an information storage unit configured to associate and store in advance a pitching motion video and pitching trajectory information for a plurality of pitches actually delivered by a pitcher on a potential opponent team, and is configured to read a set of the pitching motion video and the pitching trajectory information stored in the information storage unit, output the pitching motion video being read to a projector, output the pitching trajectory information being read to a pitching machine, and control motion timings of the projector and the pitching machine so that a time of ball release of the pitcher in the pitching motion video displayed on a screen and a time of the pitching machine launching the ball with the pitching trajectory information match. The projector is configured to project the pitching motion video onto the screen so that the pitching motion video is displayed on the screen at a motion timing controlled by the kinetic motion learning device. The screen includes a hole through which a ball launched by the pitching machine can pass at a position of ball release of the pitcher in the pitching motion video displayed.

Basketball training system

A basketball training system includes a user interface and a ball delivery machine. The user interface presents a visual representation of a portion of a basketball court that is free of indicia representing predetermined ball delivery locations on the basketball court. The user interface receives user inputs relative to the visual representation that identify selected ball delivery locations desired by the user. The ball delivery machine is responsive to the user interface for delivering basketballs to the selected ball delivery locations.

Basketball launching device with off of the dribble statistic tracking
11577146 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Systems and methods for tracking off of the dribble shooting statistics are provided. An ejector launches basketballs to a user selected subset of pass receipt locations spaced apart about a basketball playing area. A controller receives data from an interface representing the user selected subset of the pass receipt locations and certain of the pass receipt locations in the subset where the player intends to perform a pre-shooting basketball move immediately before receiving the pass or making the shooting attempt and commands the ejector to launch at least one basketball to each of the pass receipt locations in the subset. Data is received from a detector indicating made basketball shots, and a performance report is generated with feedback for each of the pass receipt locations in the subset with a qualifier associated with at least some of the feedback indicating off of the dribble shooting.
