Abstract: A miniature soccer goal has a frame including a front lateral tube, left and right upright tubes attached onto the left and right sides of the front lateral tube, left and right side tubes each having a front end attached at lower end of the left and right upright tubes, respectively, and a back end attached to a back lateral tube. Each of the front and back lateral tubes, and the left and right uprights and the left and right side tubes has a net slot leading into an internal channel. The internal channel may be formed by an arc section and side walls. A net is supported on the frame with edges of the net captive in the channels of the tubes. The frame has left and right net tubes attached to left and right back corners of the net and optionally applying tension to the net.

Abstract: An agility pole or a passing arc includes one or more receptacles adjacent to a first end of a tube. A spike assembly has one or more fittings, and a spike attached to a holder adapted to slide into the first end of the tube, in a spike-in position wherein the spike is within the tube, and in a spike-out position wherein the spike is substantially outside of the tube. The fittings engage the receptacles in the spike-in position and in the spike-out position. The agility pole or passing arc may be transported and stored in the spike-in position so that injury or damage from the spike is avoided.

Abstract: A field cone collector includes a tube attached to a handle. A pair of arms is pivotally supported at a lower end of the tube. A spring urges the arms into a first position wherein an end of each arm projects out of the tube. A linkage within the tube extends from the pair of arms to an upper end of the tube, optionally to a sliding trigger. Actuation of the linkage moves the arms into a second position wherein the arms are withdrawn towards or into the tube. A field cone may be collected by pushing the lower end of the tube through an opening in the field cone. The arms momentarily move inwardly as they pass through the opening, and then move back to the first or projecting position to hold the field cone onto the tube.

Abstract: A rebounder may include a frame having tubes in the shape of an isosoles trapezoid with rounded corners. A net is attached to the frame. A rear support may be pivotally attached to a top of the frame, and support bars attachable to sides of the frame and pivotally attached to the rear support. The rear support is movable from a folded position where the rear support is near parallel to, and/or with a floor tube of the rear support in contact with the frame. The rear support is also movable to an unfolded position where the rear support holds the frame and net at an acute angle to the floor or ground.

Abstract: A football throwing trainer has a football holder including first and second end caps adapted to fit over the ends of a football. Holder straps connect the first and second end caps and hold the end caps securely onto the ends of the football. A tether is attached to the first end cap and to a belt or cuff. The trainer allows a lone player to practice throwing a football and to easily retrieve the thrown football.

Abstract: An adjustable height hurdle may have a rigid base with a slider movable on or in a track to different base length positions. A flexible bridge may have a first end attached to the slider and a second end attached to the track. The bridge is movable from an erect position wherein the bridge is on a top side of the base and the hurdle has an isosoles trapezoid shape, to a collapsed position wherein the bridge is on a bottom side of the base. The height of the hurdle is adjusted by changing the length of the base.

Abstract: A golf swing training guide provides stationary markers or pads positionable in three dimensions, to assist in proper body position and golf club swing movement. The training guide has a telescopically extendible base pole pivotally attached to a base and positionable at a plurality of inclination angles relative to the base. A telescopically extendible touch pole is attachable to the base pole and may be pivoted relative to the base pole to position a pad on the touch pole into a desired position.

Abstract: An adjustable stance golf practice mat has first and second stance pads on a floor pad or panel, with the stance pads secureable at longitudinally spaced apart incremental positions on the floor pad. The floor pad may be split in two and/or provided as a first floor panel attachable to a second floor panel. The spacing between the stance pads may be adjusted depending on the type of shot the user is practicing. Markings may be provided on the stance pads to provide visual indicators to the user. Ridge patterns may be used between the floor panel and the stance pads to provide for incremental adjustment.

Abstract: A retractable line putting trainer includes a spool unit including a spring-retractable tape in a tape housing supported on a base plate. The leading end of the tape is attached to a stand. The spool unit is placed at the cup or hole on a green and the tape extends out from the spool unit as the stand is pulled away to a desired ball position. Markings on the tape may visually indicate distance to the cup, back stroke position and front stroke position of the putter swing.

Abstract: An adjustable height hurdle may have a rigid base with a slider movable on or in a track to different base length positions. A flexible bridge may have a first end attached to the slider and a second end attached to the track. The bridge is movable from an erect position wherein the bridge is on a top side of the base and the hurdle has an isosoles trapezoid shape, to a collapsed position wherein the bridge is on a bottom side of the base. The height of the hurdle is adjusted by changing the length of the base.

Abstract: A flag football belt assembly includes a belt having two or more fasteners. A flag assembly includes a flag clip having a first arm joined to a second arm an acute angle, a fitting on the first arm and a flag strip attached to the second arm. The fitting is engageable to the fastener to attach the flag assembly onto the belt, and the fitting is releasable from the fastener by pulling on the flag strip. The first arm may be joined to the second arm at a flex joint and/or the flag clip may be made of a flexible material. The flag clip having the first and second arms at an acute angle holds the flag strip away from the player's body to allow the flag strip to be more easily and reliably grabbed during play.

Abstract: A reducer for a basketball rim has a circular reducer ring having a diameter less than the basketball rim. Rim clips may be slidably positioned on pins extending radially outwardly on the reducer ring. The clips may have a tube section adapted to fit onto the basketball rim. A rebounder may be attached onto the reducer, or to the rim. The rebounder may have a plurality of spokes with outer ends of the spokes attached to a circular rebounder ring and inner ends of the spokes attached to a central hub. The spokes may have at least one concave section and one convex section.

Abstract: Goal apparatus comprising a frame, a first pliable goalpost member, a second pliable goalpost member and a pliable crossbar member. The frame presents net connection points and is configured to support each of the pliable goal members in tension between two net connection points such that the goal apparatus presents a substantially rectangular goal mouth. A frame for use in the goal apparatus. A net for use in the goal apparatus comprising first, second and third edges, and a first pliable goalpost member, a second pliable goalpost member and a pliable crossbar member extending along the first, second and third edge respectively.

Abstract: A massager includes a ball captive in a cup adapted to be used with or without a holder. The ball contains a thermal liquid which may be refrigerated or frozen to provide a cold rolling ball massage. The holder and the cup may be thermally insulating to protect the user's hand from the cold temperature of the ball. The holder may have a bottom opening to allow the cup to be pushed out of the holder. Ridges on the holder may be used to provide an enhanced grip.
