ABSTRACT:
A training device for development skills in the game of basketball or the like sport is disclosed. The device comprises an L-shaped structure, wherein one leg of the structure is connected at each of its ends to an elevated, stationary structure, preferably a basketball hoop. The second leg of the L-shaped structure, when said first leg is connected to the stationary structure, will hang down from the horizonal axis of the stationary structure at the point of attachment of the two legs. A rope is slidably connected to the first leg, and extends from a position located proximate to the end of said first leg distal from the attachment point to a position located proximate to the end of said second leg distal from the juncture point; (d) means to attach the end of the rope located proximate to the end of the first leg distal from the juncture point to a ball, so that the ball will suspend from said rope end at a position proximate to said end of said first leg, wherein the location of the suspended ball may be controlled by a user to permit players to increase their skills by jumping to touch said ball.
