Abstract: A device for teaching the basic kicks of soccer to students of the game. The device has a mat portion with a ball support thereon, to raise the ball to the elevated position it would be in when laying on grass. The mat includes an alignment arrow to direct the approach of the kicker, a circumscribed open area for the non-kicking foot to be prior to ball impact with a specifically notated ball, that rests on the support. The ball is color coded with sweet spots where impact is to take place for a specific kick. The ball also includes similarly color coded arrow lines, which serve to guide the placement of the ball onto the support to align the ball correctly relative to the kicker's shoe for the shot being taught. Teaching information is also found on the mat portion as a mental reinforcement to a lesson.

Abstract: A support device for supporting the forearm of a worker in a generally horizontal plane comprising:(a) an attachment member for affixing the support device to a support member;(b) a lower support member having a forward end and a rearward end, the rearward end being pivotally mounted to the attachment member for free pivotal rotation of the forward end of the lower support member within an arc with respect to the attachment member due to force applied to the lower support member when the arm of the worker is moved in the horizontal plane; and,(c) an upper longitudinally extending support member for supporting the forearm of a worker, the upper member having a forward end and a rearward end, the upper support member being slidably mounted on the lower support member for movement of the upper support member in the longitudinal direction between a recessed position and an extended position with respect to the lower support member due to force applied to the upper support member when the arm of the worker is move
