Abstract: A training ball system comprising a training ball including a receiver for receiving a wireless signal from a remote location, the training ball further comprising a vibration module for providing a sensory indication to a user carrying the training ball; an input device physically separate from the training ball including a transmitter for enabling transmission of a wireless signal to the receiver; where the receiver responds to receiving a wireless signal from the input device to trigger vibration of the motor immediately upon receipt of the wireless signal.

Abstract: It is sometimes difficult for a sports coach to get his training drills and techniques across to the team. It is especially difficult to explain the right time to carry out a certain skill like “passing” a ball. To aid his description of what he would like his players to do and more specifically when he would like them to carry out certain actions like “passing” the ball, some help is needed. According to an aspect of the present invention there is a training ball system comprising a training ball including a receiver for receiving a wireless signal from a remote location, the training ball further comprising a vibration module for providing a sensory indication to a user carrying the training ball, an input device physically separate from the training ball including a transmitter for enabling transmission of a wireless signal to the receiver; the system configured such that the vibration module vibrates in response to transmission of a wireless signal from the input device to the receiver.
