  • Publication number: 20060258486
    Abstract: The present invention provides a baseball batting stance training mat and assembly. The assembly essentially comprises a stance training mat for placement upon a baseball field or similar other playing field and at least one rearward foot-receiving cuff for removable or breakaway attachment to the stance training mat. The stance training mat essentially comprises two distinct zones, namely, a stance zone and a plate-alignment zone. The plate alignment zone comprises a zone vacancy for receiving a selected lateral half of a home plate. When a left-handed mat and a right-handed mat are used in tandem with one another, the mats form an hourglass-shaped batter's box type arrangement. Each stance zone may comprise a plurality of foot print indicia. The cuff is removably attached adjacent select rearward foot print indicia and is designed for breakaway from the stance training mat in the event of a cuff-removing force.
