Abstract: A kicking practice apparatus including a freestanding support frame having spaced-apart upstanding members mounted at their lower ends to a floor-supported primary base and rigidly connected at their upper ends by a reinforcing structure. The upstanding members are disposed in a generally triangular arrangement. An impact-receiving member has a pivot sleeve mounting the member to a front one of the support frame members such that the impact-receiving member extends in cantilever fashion generally outwardly from the front member and away from a rear pair of the support frame members. The impact-receiving member is pivotable relative to the front member in transverse relation thereto and in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions thereabout. Sets of resiliently yieldable springs and elastic cords extend in opposing relation to one another past and in contact with the pivot sleeve and interconnect the impact-receiving member with the rear pair of members.
