ABSTRACT:
A football place kicking apparatus having a rotatable hopper for releasably retaining a plurality of footballs with a motor for rotating the hopper for presenting a football to a mechanism for grasping a football from the football supporting hopper, one at a time, and removing the football from the hopper and displacing it along a directed path of travel to a lowered position adjacent to the apparatus for place kicking the football while it is held by the grasping mechanism. After the football is kicked, a new cycle is begun by returning the grasping mechanism to its original position for grasping another football from the hopper. The new cycle is completed when the grasped football is moved to the place kicking position and kicked. An electrical circuit is energized by a foot-actuated switch to operate the hopper motor and to operate the football grasping mechanism.
