Abstract

A basketball training device for improving the effectiveness of a defensive baskeball player while increasing the challenge to an offensive basketball player. The training device is comprised of a grip handle and a padded cylindrical pole; attached to the top of the pole is a polyurethane foam hand. The training device is used as an extension of the defensive player's own hand. The device is to be held at the bottom where grip handle is located. The defensive player holding the device can then distract the offensive player in a number of ways. Examples include; blocking the offensive player's vision of the basket, attempting to block the offensive player's shot, and attempting to steal the ball from the offensive player while ball handling. This device doesn't require a defensive player to expend a large amount of energy and makes up for any lack of size or quickness. This device makes it possible for a person of limited mobility to help an offensive player train and improve perimeter shooting, low post moves, and ball handling.
