1. A method of using a sports training ball comprising:
- measuring an elevated force applied to the sports training ball with at least one force sensor located in the sports training ball, the sports training ball including an outer skin surrounding an inner core and the at least one force sensor in contact with the outer skin;
a controller located in the sports training ball in electrical communication with the at least one force sensor, determining when the elevated force applied to the sports training ball measured by the at least one force sensor decreases below a predetermined elevated threshold with the controller; and
an indicator located in the sports training ball in electrical communication with the controller, indicating to a user when the elevated force measured by the at least one force sensor decreases below the predetermined elevated threshold with the indicator.

12. A method of using a sports training ball comprising:
-
measuring an elevated force applied to the sports training ball with at least one force sensor located in the sports training ball, the sports training ball including an outer skin surrounding an inner core; an indicator located in the sports training ball in electrical communication with the at least one force sensor, producing a change in an electrical signal to the indicator when the elevated force measured by the at least one force sensor decreases below a predetermined elevated threshold; and the indicator indicating to a user when the indicator receives the change in the electrical signal corresponding to the elevated force measured by the at least one force sensor decreasing below the elevated predetermined threshold with a change in at least one of an audio signal or a visual signal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
