Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a safe and convenient way to play or practice various sports or sporting games. It offers a realistic manner in which players can practice typical sporting skills. Additionally, it provides a fun and entertaining three-dimensional amusement game resembling a conventional sports stadium having one or multiple movable sports figures which simulate offensive or defensive sports players running up or across a sports playing field with the objective of receiving a game ball thrown or otherwise projected from a user. The approach is simple but unobvious. The Sports game permits an indoor alternative to typically outdoor sporting games, allowing for controlled environment training and practice without the necessity for other people to be present. It also allows for game enthusiasts to indulge in sporting games even during inclement weather or in an outdoor venue still having the advantage of allowing the user to play or practice by himself without the aid or presence of team mates."

Problems solved by technology

Although the most traditional way to play and practice sports is outside in the fresh air, sometimes that is not practical or desirable.
