ABSTRACT:
A rebound board for returning projected balls toward a person practicing a ball sport. The rebound board has a textured surface subdivided into squares, each square including a shallow pyramid including an array of four triangular walls. The pyramids project from a vertical plane, and each pyramid side inclines in a different direction so as to return a ball upwardly, downwardly, to the right, or to the left. Preferably, the rebound board is two faced, each face including pyramids of different heights. Two preferred ranges of inclination of sides, one range for each face, are 2 to 6 degrees from vertical, and 5 to 9 degrees from vertical. The invention may be attached to an environmental surface. Alternatively, a supporting frame is provided to enable the device to be erected and used on a playing court.
