Sports training system
First Claim
1. A sports training device comprising:
- a training ball including an outer layer surrounding an inner core, wherein the training ball is a football;
at least one force sensor located in the training ball in contact with at least one of the outer layer or the inner core, the at least one force sensor configured to measure an elevated force applied to the training ball at a predetermined elevated threshold level; and
an indicator in contact with at least one of the outer layer and the inner core, the indicator in electrical communication with the at least one force sensor and configured to receive a change in an electrical signal when the elevated force measured by the at least one force sensor decreases below the predetermined elevated threshold level, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate to a user when the indicator receives the change in the electrical signal with a change in feedback.

Abstract
A method of assembling a sports training ball includes locating at least one force sensor in the sports training ball for measuring an elevated force applied to the sports training ball. The sports training ball includes an outer surface that surrounds an inner core. An indicator is located in the sports training ball. The indicator is in electrical communication with at least one force sensor and is configured to receive a change in an electrical signal when the elevated force measured by at least one force sensor decreases below a predetermined elevated threshold. The indicator is configured to indicate to a user when the indicator receives the change in the electrical signal with a change in at least one of an audio signal or a visual signal.
