ABSTRACT:
A football training apparatus to develop the defensive reactions of football linemen, comprises a simulator to simulate the football being moved or snapped by the offensive center. The simulator includes a housing having at least one window. A motor having a rotary shaft is mounted in the housing. A panel having a drawing or representation of a football is mounted on the motor shaft for rotary movement therewith. A spring is connected between the panel and housing to normally bias the panel so that the simulated football is not visible through the window. A power supply is provided to rotate the motor shaft so that the simulated football becomes visible through the window and remains stationary, as an indication that the football has been snapped. A remote control may be provided, so that the power supply can be connected to the motor from a remote location, for operation by a coach or trainer who can observe the reaction of the linemen upon appearance of the simulated football.
