ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in training and conditioning athletes, particularly an athlete's jumping and balance abilities. The apparatus has jump stations with one or more platforms each that are spaced above the ground at various heights for exercises to improve an athlete's jumping ability. An athlete practices his or her jumping skills by jumping from the ground surface to the platforms. A center section interconnects two jump stations. The center section has a balance member that allows the athlete to practice his or her balance skills. The apparatus can be constructed of light weight materials so that it can be moved. The apparatus can also be manufactured for disassembly so that it can be easily moved to desired practice areas, such as a basketball court, and to facilitate storage. Use of the apparatus can be combined with development of the specific skills necessary for the athlete's desired sports training.
