Patent ID: 7341529

Claim:
A football training device, comprising: a base adapted to contact a ground surface, a first frame comprising a) a first vertical section, b) a second vertical section extending substantially vertically upward from the base, and c) a cross member directly connected to and extending between the first vertical section and the second vertical section, and a target forming a second frame located within a perimeter of the first frame and operatively connected to the cross member, the target comprising an upper segment and two side segments connected to the upper segment, wherein the target side segments are located between the first frame first vertical section and second vertical section and the target side segments extend downwardly below the upper segment, wherein the side segments are spaced apart from the first frame first vertical section and second vertical section wherein the target is an aiming area, the target upper segment is part of the first frame cross member, wherein each side segment of the target is connected to the cross member by a connector, wherein each connector is movable laterally on the cross member to adjust width of the target between the side segments spaced between the first frame first vertical section and second vertical section, wherein a net device is operatively connected to the training device, wherein the net device includes a net frame, wherein a net is connected to the net frame, wherein the net frame includes first and second side members spaced a distance from each other and connected by an upper crossbar, wherein the distance between the net frame side members ranges from about 12 to about 48 inches, wherein the net frame is connected to a base of the net device wherein the net base includes a net base bar and a net connection member spaced a distance from each other and each connected to base bars that are connected to the first and second side members of the net frame, wherein the base connected to the first frame has a ground contacting member that extends over the net base bar and is inserted between the net frame connection member and net frame base bar and adapted to contact the ground surface thereby providing operative connection between the device including the first frame and target and the net frame device wherein the net of the net frame is spaced a distance from the target.
