Abstract: The invention is a basketball training device for training players of all ages and skill levels how to shoot a basketball and/or how to play defense. The device comprises at least one elongated piece of substantially flexible material having two opposing ends, the ends secured together to define a substantially circular flexible device, the device being worn around a player's legs, wrists and/or hands. The device provides tension and support to the player's legs, wrists and/or hands, wherein the tension keeps the player's legs, wrists and/or hands in a desired basketball position. In a preferred version, the tension further provides at least some degree of feedback to the player when the player's legs, wrists and/or hands assume an undesired basketball position. The device may be used to train a player in offense (i.e., shooting) as well as defense.
