Abstract:
A sports training system includes an array of break beam sensors. Each sensor is configured to detect a passage of an object, such as a hockey puck, between adjacent posts and provide information for the passage to a controller communicatively attached to the array of sensors. A mobile application is configured to receive information from the controller and provide, for presentation to a user, passage statistics for the passages completed by one or more players. Servers are located in at least one data center. The servers are configured to receive and store the passage statistics and to provide access to the passage statistics.

Claim (Index 1):
A hockey training apparatus comprising:\n a plurality of posts; a plurality of bars being supported by the posts, wherein the posts and bars are configured for a puck to pass under each of the bars; an array of break beam sensors housed within the posts and configured to detect a passage of the puck under each of the bars between adjacent posts; a plurality of light strips arranged on the respective bars and operable to be selectively illuminated to indicate one of the bars under which the puck is to pass; and o a controller configured to control the light strips and receive signals from the break beam sensors, the controller including a wireless transceiver to wirelessly receive training sequences from and to wirelessly transmit timing information to a remote device, wherein the training sequences identify sequences of selective light strip activations that are used by the controller to control the light strips, wherein the timing information is determined by the controller based on the signals from the break beam sensors corresponding to those activated during the training sequences.
