Abstract:
A training apparatus arranged to be portable, collapsible, and able to be configured into different arrangements for different nets and/or different sports-related activities. The training apparatus comprises a support portion, base poles pivotally coupled to the support portion, base brackets coupled to the base poles opposite the support portion, extensions coupled to the base brackets, first and second flexible rods removably coupled to the support portion, and a net configured to be received by the flexible rods. The net is configured to bend the first and second flexible rods from a linear state to an arcuate state, such that a net tension holds the net upright.

Claim (Index 1):
A training apparatus, comprising:\n a support portion having a length in a first plane; first means for pivotally coupling a first base pole proximate a first end of the support portion; second means for pivotally coupling a second base pole proximate a second end of the support portion at a second end, wherein the first and second base poles pivot substantially in a second plane; a first pair of extensions pivotally coupled to the first base pole opposite the support portion; a second pair of extension pivotally coupled to the second base pole opposite the support portion; a first flexible rod configured to be received proximate the first base pole; and a second flexible rod configured to be received proximate the second base pole, wherein the first and second flexible rods extend in a third plane that is substantially perpendicular to the first plane.
