ABSTRACT:
A training device for developing skills in the game of basketball utilizing a hoop rim mounted on an elevated backboard above a playing surface is disclosed. An angular rope support arm is attached at its proximal end by a bracket to a hoop rim so that the support arm's distal end terminates above and proximate a hoop. A rope of a predetermined length is slidably connected to the support arm with one end of the rope long enough to project downward from the proximal end of the support arm so that it may be grasped by a user. The other rope end projects downward from the distal end of the support arm and receives a basketball. Suspension of the ball proximate the hoop may be controlled by the user to permit players to increase their skills in jumping to grasp or move the ball.
