ABSTRACT:
A skill building apparatus for basketball players includes a frame defining a substantially rectangular configured and enclosed cage in which a player stands substantially stationary. The frame includes a pair of spaced, longitudinally extending, parallel frame members extending along the length of the upper portion of the cage. A bridge assembly is mounted transverse on the parallel frame members and includes means for moving the bridge assembly longitudinally along the frame members. A basketball backboard and goal assembly is supported by the bridge assembly and a motor mechanism pivotally rotates the backboard and goal assembly about a vertical axis. Longitudinal movement of the bridge assembly and pivotal rotation of the backboard and goal assembly about the vertical axis are controlled by a microprocessor. A ball return mechanism is positioned under the backboard and goal assembly and bridge assembly, and the mechanism extends downwardly from one end of the enclosed cage to a ball return area positioned in close proximity to where a player stands within the enclosed cage for returning those balls shot at the basketball goal. The frame is formed as a collapsible unit to aid in mobile transport of the apparatus.
