ABSTRACT:
The method shown contemplates a restraining element applied to the kicking foot of the player which, in turn, is secured to an elastic strap which is anchored at a remote position. The player then positions the pivot foot firmly on the ground or floor, and exercises the kicking leg by bending the knee with the toes downwardly and moving the knee to a position where the leg is substantially straight, and the ankle to a position where the foot is substantially perpendicular to the straight leg at the point when the foot is parallel with the floor or ground. Modifications of the method include starting from the position with the foot parallel with the ground and moving the leg forwardly with the toes extending progressively downwardly against the tension of the strap and then retracting through the same steps.
The device discloses an elastic band for circumferentially engaging the ankle of the player with an elastomeric strap secured at a rear portion of the band adjacent the Achilles heel of the player, and anchoring the strap at a position remote from the point where it is attached to the ankle band. Desirably a clip with a ring is secured at the rear portion of the strap so that the same can be attached to a tree, post, or other anchor portion adjacent the ground or floor.
