ABSTRACT:
A physical development and training device to enable a person to practice reaction skills such as jumping, leaping and springing to grasp a ball-like object. The device includes a turret mounted on a support base for rotation about a vertical axis. An articulated arm assembly has one end connected to the upper end of the turret to permit pivotal movement of the arm assembly. Actuating mechanisms are provided for pivoting the articulated arms toward and away from each other as the assembly undergoes pivotal and/or rotational movement relative to the support base. A suction retainer on the free end of the articulated arm assembly releasably retains the ball-like object, such as a basketball, enabling a person practicing rebounding to grasp and pull the basketball from the suction retaining means. A control center on the base controls the actuating mechanism providing predetermined movement of the basketball such that its path of travel may be programmed to accommodate persons of different height, age groups, coordination, etc.
