Abstract: A portable basketball training aid to improve the player's shooting accuracy while being distracted by vision restrictors which simulate realistic game conditions. The training aid is used, in the vicinity of an elevated basketball hoop and board. The training aid includes a plurality of height extendible flexiable supports extending upward from the top of the hollow support member in a direction approximately parallel to the support member. The training aid has an upper extent and a lower extent, the lower extent being attached to a compressible anchor member made from any suitable material and shape, for example, a foam cylinder. The compressible anchor member is confined within the rigid hollow support member and held in place by friction. The friction being formed at the intersection of the compressible member and the inside wall of the rigid hollow member. In its uncompressed state, the compressible member is of a width greater than the inside width of the hollow member.
