Abstract

There is a basketball training device configured to block a low-arc basketball shot. The training device includes a base configured to support the basketball training device. The training device also includes a plurality of support members adjustably coupled to an end of the base and configured to extend horizontally therefrom when in an extended mode thereby providing a wider base. The training device includes a telescoping member coupled to an end of the base. The training device includes a net selectably coupled to an end of the telescoping member and configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism. The net mechanism is transparent configured to provide a clear view of the basketball rim. The basketball training device includes a plurality of wheels coupled to the plurality of support members configured to transport the basketball training device about a basketball court.

Claims

1. A basketball training device configured to block a low-arc basketball shot, comprising:

a) a base configured to support the basketball training device;

b) a plurality of support members adjustably coupled to an end of the base and configured to extend horizontally therefrom when in an extended mode thereby providing a wider base;

c) a telescoping member coupled to an end of the base, opposite of the plurality of support members and configured to selectably extend and retract; and

d) a net mechanism selectably coupled to an end of the telescoping member opposite the base and extending in a vertical planar configuration from the telescoping member and configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism.

2. The training device of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of wheels coupled to the plurality of support members configured to transport the basketball training device about a basketball court.

3. The training device of claim 2, further comprising a plurality of locking mechanisms coupled to the plurality of wheels configured to secure the plurality of wheels in a stationary position.

4. The training device of claim 1, wherein the net mechanism is transparent.

5. The training device of claim 1, wherein the net mechanism further includes a transparent rod member configured to selectably couple to the telescoping member.

6. The training device of claim 1, wherein the telescoping member further includes an angled aperture configured to support and secure the transparent rod member to the telescoping member.

7. The training device of claim 1, wherein the net mechanism includes a textile material configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism.

8. The training device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of support members include a padding member disposed about an end of the plurality of support members and configured to prevent damage to the basketball playing surface during transportation and use.

9. A basketball training device configured to block a low-arc basketball shot, comprising:

a) a base configured to support the basketball training device;

b) a plurality of support members adjustably coupled to an end of the base and configured to extend horizontally therefrom when in an extended mode thereby providing a wider base;

c) a telescoping member coupled to an end of the base, opposite of the plurality of support members and configured to selectably extend and retract;

d) a net mechanism selectably coupled to an end of the telescoping member opposite the base and extending in a vertical planar configuration from the telescoping member and configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism; and

e) a plurality of wheels coupled to the plurality of support members configured to transport the basketball training device about a basketball court.

10. The training device of claim 9, further comprising a plurality of locking mechanisms coupled to the plurality of wheels configured to secure the wheels in a stationary position.

11. The training device of claim 10, wherein the net mechanism is transparent.

12. The training device of claim 11, wherein the net mechanism further includes a transparent rod member configured to selectably couple to the telescoping member.

13. The training device of claim 12, wherein the net mechanism includes a textile material configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism.

14. The training device of claim 13, wherein the telescoping member further includes an angled aperture configured to support and secure the transparent rod member to the telescoping member.

15. A basketball training system configured to block a low-arc basketball shot, comprising:

a) a base configured to support the basketball training device;

b) a plurality of support members adjustably coupled to an end of the base and configured to extend horizontally therefrom when in an extended mode thereby providing a wider base;

c) a telescoping member coupled to an end of the base, opposite of the plurality of support members and configured to selectably extend and retract;

wherein the telescoping member includes an adjustment mechanism configured to secure and angle the telescoping member;

d) a net mechanism selectably coupled to an end of the telescoping member opposite the base and extending in a vertical planar configuration from the telescoping member and configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism;

wherein the net mechanism is transparent;

wherein the net mechanism includes a textile material configured to alter any basketball shot, which is lower that a top end of the net mechanism;

e) a plurality of wheels coupled to the plurality of support members configured to transport the basketball training device about a basketball court; and

f) a plurality of locking mechanisms coupled to the plurality of wheels configured to secure the wheels in a stationary position.
