ABSTRACT:
A low rebound sports target useful in baseball pitching and fielding drills freely suspends horizontal and vertical elements for defining target zones wherein the elements are able to absorb the energy delivered by a high speed baseball tossed at the target and provide for rebounding of the ball from the target in a safe manner with regard to concerns by a player using the target. A target comprising vertical chains and horizontal rods freely suspended in a spaced relation to a frame holding the chain is described. Tubing sections provide shrouds for the chain and rods while also providing for easy adjustment of the target in creating various target zones. Further, a bag collects successful target hits while a netted backstop collects errant tosses by the player. A support used in suspending target elements further provides for suspending sports images useful for simulating realistic game conditions.
